MX Helmet Alpinestars SM10 Troy Lee Design Edition 23 red

Alpinestars SM10

The SM10 motocross helmet from Alpinestars is clearly the brand's top-of-the-line product. The Italian manufacturer, which was initially known primarily for its high-quality motocross boots, now also offers helmets.

The SM10 was developed in collaboration with the best riders in the world and is perfectly designed for the extreme conditions and dangers of motocross.
Naturally, the high-end MX helmet complies with the new ECE22.06 standard and even exceeds it, is lightweight and optimally ventilated.

SM10 cross helmet features

• Extra shell size per helmet size for perfect ergonomics
• Special design to prevent injuries to the collarbone
• Patented "A-Head Fitment System", which makes it easy to adjust the angle and height of the helmet on the head
• Maximum ventilation with 28 air inlets and outlets
• Technology for quick removal of the helmet in the event of an accident
• Weight helmet size M = 1260 g (1360 g in the DOT version for the USA)
• Smooth design without protrusions to prevent snagging on impact, redirects direct forces to the skull, neck and spine
• Exceeds the requirements of the new ECE standard 22.06 by 76%
• Removable cheek pads made from semi-soft polymer
• MIPS system (allows the skull to be rotated by 15° in the helmet shell to reduce the risk of injury)
• ERS system (Emergency Visor Release): the visor can be dropped in the event of a fall
• Shell made from several composite materials: 3K carbon outer layer, carbon composite inner layer and 2nd inner layer made of aramid fibers held together by bonding with epoxy resin

If the carbon helmet is too expensive for you, you can take a look at the slightly cheaper SM-8 MX helmet made of modern composite materials (Multi Composite Technology MTC), which has the same properties apart from the materials.

Motocross helmet

Off-roading requires special equipment, and that includes a special MX helmet. Cross helmets usually have numerous vents to keep the rider as ventilated as possible, even in extreme conditions. Instead of a visor, most cross helmets have a long, adjustable peak that serves as sun protection in constantly changing light conditions and also as a splash guard. Motocross helmets are much lighter than full-face or flip-up helmets, but lack a bit in terms of noise insulation.

Cross helmets must be worn with motocross goggles.

These helmets are ideal for riding at moderate speeds on motocross tracks or in the woods, but are not suitable for high speeds with lots of wind. The sporty double-D closure is less practical for everyday road use. In these cases, we offer the following helmet types:

• Open face helmet helmet for city and leisurely rides with your face in the wind
• Flip-up helmet with multifunction for touring
• Full-face helmet for maximum safety at high speeds

To enjoy your helmet for a long time, you should also get special helmet care products. For many helmets we also carry the matching spare parts.
