Alpinestars have a new motocross helmet coming our way this autumn (fall). It’s the SM10
Wednesday 14th February 2018
Alpinestars have announced the launch of their first off-road (mx) helmet that’ll be hitting the shops this September (yeah, that’s plenty of notice!). Called the SM10 here are the key aspects:
• 4 Individual Shell Sizes : XS/S, M, L, XL/2XL
• 4 different EPS densities in the helmet
• Weight : 1,260 grams for size M, ECE version
• A-Head : Patented system allows easy adjustment of the angle that the helmet sits on your head. MIPS system is also included in the helmet.
• Visor : Patented system has been developed to provide the right level of resistance to release when needed with impacts from any direction. The visor system is light weight.
• Collarbone : The bottom side of the helmet is raised to clear the collarbone as much as possible for riders who choose not to wear a neck brace system. In addition, the bottom trim is soft on the collarbone area. To maintain strength of the mouthpiece, a radial ridge has been incorporated which assures complete strength to the front of the helmet.
• Maximum Ventilation : The Interior air network channeling has extremely high ventilation values made possible by the airflow design and the location of all air intakes and outlets.
The Full-Carbon: S-M10 Helmet will be available September 2018.
The MCT-Multi Composite Shell: S-M8 Helmet will be available in the Spring of 2019.
Hopefully RUST will pick up a pre-production unit to assess before then…
