ALPINESTARS S-M8 RADIUM 2 HELMET

DESCRIPTION :

• Shell construction uses highly advanced molding technology with a multi-composite combination: unidirectional carbon composite with aramid layer that gives significant radial force around the shell, avoiding compression but allowing controlled deflection to reduce impact energy transmitted and providing critical penetration protection.

  • This combination of layers offers even higher performance with an epoxy bond that offers the best possible strength and energy management; Limited external deflection of the shell means that the energy spreads wider and is better absorbed by the EPS liner.

  • The result of the unique shell layering process employed in the S-M8 construction results in extremely effective impact protection. With a fully equipped helmet test facility, within the Alpinestars Racing Development Center, an exhaustive impact research program has resulted in the Supertech M8 returning linear and oblique impact performance that vastly improve current standard adjustment limits. of the helmet. For direct, linear impact of an average magnitude of 41% and for rotational acceleration, the oblique impact performance averages 48%. • Supertech M8 liner construction combines with the shell to provide highly efficient impact energy management.
