Featuring a multi-layer composite shell with integrated PLASMA technology and a patented visor release system, it delivers exceptional impact energy dissipation and rotational force protection. This ECE 22.06 certified helmet is hydration-system ready and includes a removable anti-microbial comfort liner.
Key features
- Aerodynamic Design: Smooth, streamlined shell profile eliminates external channels and load points to maintain structural integrity during an impact.
- Energy-Deflecting Shell: Engineered curved surface reduces friction and deflects impact forces away from the head to protect the skull, neck, and spine.
- PLASMA Technology: Patented Alpinestars PLASMA integrated into side pads provides high-performance shock absorption to reduce injury risk in critical areas.
- A-Head Fitment System: Patented technology allows for precise adjustment of the helmet's height and angle to ensure an optimized, personalized performance fit.
- Patented Visor Release: Designed to detach automatically when subjected to impact energy greater than 15 Joules, reducing rotational injury risk regardless of impact direction.
- Anatomical Shell Sizing: Available in 3 shell sizes across 6 consumer sizes (XS-XXL) to ensure a lightweight, comfortable, and effective fit for all riders.
- Hydration System Ready: Features integrated internal channels on both sides of the shell to easily accommodate hydration system plumbing.
