The Faringdon jacket features a water-resistant and windproof construction, CE level 1 protectors at the shoulders and elbows and a removable jersey hood.
Weise Wave 2.0 waterproof glove now with 1-KP rated knuckle protection.
Weise have given their popular waterproof summer gloves a host of upgrades for 2024, making them even more practical for riding in warm but changeable weather conditions. The addition of 1-KP knuckle armour on the Wave 2.0 adds to their appeal for adventure riding, while their flexibility and waterproofing will make them a popular choice with commuters and leisure riders too.
Comfort and control
Key to the Wave’s comfort is the synthetic suede and Spandex textile construction. It’s tough, yet lightweight and flexible, giving freedom of movement, and allowing plenty of feel and feedback from the controls. Silicone printing on the palm increases grip on the bike’s bars and levers; just as important on a busy ring road as it is on rocky mountain passes.
mcTex™ and mcFit™ Technology
A dependable mcTex™ waterproof and breathable membrane keeps hands dry and free from the effects of windchill. The warm Tri fleece lining is secured with mcFit™ technology, so there’s no uncomfortable stitching or seams, and it won’t twist or pull free when you take off your glove.
1-KP Protection
Protection is taken care of by 1-KP rated TPU knuckle armour. There are additional padded palm panels and the tough suede shell is dual-layered and triple-stitched at critical zones.
Touchscreen compatible
The short cuff design sits easily under riding jackets, with hook and loop closure for a snug and secure fit. There’s no need to remove the gloves to operate smartphones or sat navs either, since both the index fingers and thumbs are touchscreen compatible.
Weise Wave 2.0 gloves retail at £99.99 a pair, including VAT. They come in a choice of Black or Grey, in sizes S-2XL, and are covered by a two-year warranty for complete peace of mind.
Each garment in Oxford’s Advanced layering system has a unique purpose – base, mid and outer combine to keep you comfortable, warm, dry and protected.
Whether you are riding on the death roads of Bolivia or commuting in the changing seasons of Britain, there is a layering system for you.
Designed for the most trying weather conditions, the Expedition Gilet is a must for serious adventure riding. Insulation is mapped to the body, ensuring protection where it is most needed, whilst lightweight stretch panels provide an adaptive fit. A premium fur-fleece lining offers unparalleled comfort and warmth retention.

Today Alpinestars is launching the new Tech-Air® 3 Leather & Canvas vests at the legendary Daytona Bike Week. Alpinestars’ packable autonomous Airbag System is designed to ideally be worn over a motorcycle jacket, but can be worn under the jacket as well, providing effective and practical protection for V-Twin riders, touring riders, urban city commuters, and weekend warriors who want to ride protected.
The latest addition to the Alpinestars’ Tech-Air® family, Tech-Air® 3 Leather & Canvas Systems enable riders of all disciplines to benefit from a standalone, wearable garment featuring all the protection that Tech-Air® delivers, regardless of the bike they ride, or the style of riding they do.
Engineered to be worn in all weather conditions, the Tech-Air® 3 System’s lightweight construction and packable design allow it to be quickly folded up and stowed in a backpack, saddle bag, top case, or pannier when not in use.
Both the Leather and Canvas Systems’ outer chassis design also provides openings to allow customization through the sewing of patches or embroidery, if desired.
AI TECHNOLOGY AND CRASH MONITORING PERFORMANCE
The state-of-the-art Tech-Air® System uses an advanced crash detection algorithm that leverages AI to deploy the airbag precisely when needed. The Leather and Canvas Tech-Air® 3 incorporates 6 integrated sensors (1 triaxial accelerometer and 1 triaxial gyroscope) to provide the best crash monitoring performance and active airbag protection in a variety of dynamic street riding scenarios, even when stopped.
An LED display on the front chest indicates the airbag’s operational status. The LED display also incorporates a haptic alert, which vibrates to confirm the System is armed and alerts the rider when the battery is running low.
PROTECTION
Alpinestars’ crash detection triggering algorithm has been developed and refined over millions of kilometers of riding data and thousands of crashes, allowing the system to accurately assess when to deploy the airbag ahead of an impact or other dangerous situations like a lowside or highside crash. In the event the Tech-Air® 3 detects the start of a crash, the System will activate the protective airbag in milliseconds, providing upper body protection, and reducing up to 95% of the impact energy transferred to the rider anywhere the airbag protects, which includes the full chest and back.
SYSTEM OPERATIONAL STATUS
A discretely hidden but easily visible LED display on the front chest indicates the Airbag System’s operational status and incorporates a haptic alert, which vibrates to confirm the System is armed, as well as alerts the rider when the battery is running low. Bluetooth connectivity to a Tech-Air® App allows monitoring of both the System’s operational status and battery status and mapping of your journey via MyRide.
TECH-AIR® APP AND SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATES
When it comes to other features and benefits, the Tech-Air® 3 Leather & Canvas Systems are Bluetooth-enabled, allowing riders to easily update their System with new releases of the software via the free Tech-Air® App. Additionally, there is a wide variety of functionalities within the App, giving riders the ability to check System status, consult the User Manual, and record their rides on an enhanced Google map, just to name a few. Regarding battery life, a fully charged battery will provide the system with 40 hours of active ride time. A low battery will fully charge in about 4 hours; charging the battery for approximately 1 hour will provide approximately 8-10 hours of riding time.
Stylish, practical and secure, the Leather and Canvas Tech-Air® 3 vests suit any rider seeking the highest levels of active protection. Wear it over or under your jacket (provided that the jacket offers room to accommodate the inflation of the airbag) for peace of mind on every ride.

Alpinestars launches Tech-Air® Off-Road: the most advanced electronic airbag system for ultimate off-road protection.
The world’s first dedicated off-road Airbag System, Tech-Air® Off-Road, is an FIM* homologated Airbag System designed specifically to handle the rigors of fast off-road riding and Rallies as well as provide unrivalled upper body protection on the trails. Tech-Air® Off-Road comes with 3 Riding Modes: ENDURO, RALLY, AND STREET, making it the perfect choice for every type of off-road and adventure riding.
Developed and tested since 2017, with hundreds of professional Rally racing and Dakar riders, and in the most grueling conditions in all types of terrain, the Tech-Air® Off-Road System was used by 107 riders in the 2024 Dakar, including the full podium with Ricky Brabec, Ross Branch, and Adrien Van Beveren, as well as the rest of the top 8 riders.
Tech-Air® Off-Road’s crash detection algorithms have been fine-tuned with over 10,000 hours and millions of kilometers of logged riding data. Now, riders across the world will be able to rely on and trust the same protection that top professionals do.
The Tech-Air® Off-Road System is a perfect solution for any type of adventure, enduro, and dual-sport riders, allowing users to easily and quickly select their Riding Mode algorithm based on their chosen type of terrain or style of riding. Simply put on the System, zip it up, ride the highway to the trails, toggle the display to select the desired Riding Mode algorithm, and start the adventure. Activating the Tech-Air® Off-Road is as simple as zipping up or unzipping the System; a 2-second vibrating haptic alert notifies the rider when the System is activated or deactivated.
AI TECHNOLOGY AND CRASH MONITORING PERFORMANCE
The Tech-Air® Off-Road System uses a series of tri-axial sensors, including 3 accelerometers and 3 gyroscopes, which in turn, communicate with the System’s computer, sending data inputs every millisecond, or a thousand times a second. The System comes with the ability to select 3 separate Riding Modes: ENDURO, RALLY, AND STREET. Each Riding Mode offers an optimized riding algorithm allowing the System to detect an imminent impact and deploy the protective airbag in crash situations.
ENDURO Mode is optimized for low and medium-speed trail riding, on unpaved surfaces like gravel, riverbeds, mud, and other natural terrain.
The RALLY algorithm is optimized for fast off-road action on any type of terrain, including cross-country, Baja, and Rally Raid competition type use. RALLY Mode is recommended for riding characterized by longer straight sections with multiple bumps and different types of terrain crossed at higher speeds, most typical desert terrain with dunes and sandy ground, gravel, and open countryside settings.
STREET Mode, just like on other Tech-Air® Systems, is optimized for any type of street riding on paved roads.
Riding Modes are easy to navigate while on the move via the LED Display located on the front of the System, or via the Tech-Air® App.
AIRBAG COVERAGE AND RIDER PROTECTION
Specifically conceived for off-road riding, the Tech-Air® Off-Road when deployed, provides airbag coverage protecting the rider by delivering CE Level 1 – ACTIVE AIRBAG Full Chest and Full Back protection, plus coverage to the shoulders, neck, and collarbones in the event of a crash. The System is integrated with an Alpinestars’ Off-Road Protection Jacket equipped with a CE Level 2 – PASSIVE Full Chest protector and CE Level 1 – PASSIVE Full Back armor, as well as removable armor at the shoulders and elbows. This combination offers riders enhanced roost protection against rocks, debris, and other obstacles they may encounter on the trail.
DUAL DEPLOYMENT AND GAS INFLATOR REPLACEMENT
The Tech-Air® Off-Road System is a dual deployment system and comes installed with two gas inflators, providing riders with two individual airbag deployments before needing to replace the gas inflator canisters. This means a rider can experience a deployment, get up, and keep on going, knowing there’s another deployment ready to protect them if needed. Gas inflator replacement is quick and easy and is made even more convenient thanks to the possibility for customers to change their own canisters (available in some countries that allow personal handling of gas inflators). In addition, if the airbag bladder itself has not been damaged during a deployment, the bladder is certified for up to four individual deployments before requiring service.
TECH-AIR® APP AND SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATES
When it comes to other features and benefits, the Tech-Air® Off-Road is Bluetooth-enabled, allowing riders to easily update their System with new releases of the software via the free Tech-Air® App. Additionally, there is a wide variety of functionalities within the App, giving riders the ability to check System status, consult the User Manual, and record their rides on an enhanced Google map, just to name a few. Regarding battery life, a fully charged battery will provide the system with 30 hours of active ride time. A low battery will fully charge in about 4 hours; charging the battery for approximately 1 hour will provide approximately 8 hours of riding time.
*Note: As mandated by the applicable rally FIM regulation, the Tech-Air® OFF-ROAD System has been tested in static conditions to comply with the FIM regulation where neck movements are limited to a maximum of 40° on the rear and 30° maximum on a lateral direction, helping tremendously to reduce and/or mitigate any sort of whiplash and/or neck injury.
The Andes Air Drystar® Jacket and pants have been engineered to deliver optimal protection, comfort, airflow and ventilation in warm riding conditions, while still having the capability to be quickly and easily adapted to tackle cooler temperatures and wet weather, allowing it to be the ideal dual season touring jacket.
Features
Road-orientated fit, with reduced length, and a contoured bottom edge, the jacket has pre-shaped arms for superior rider comfort and reduced fatigue.
Tech-Air® 5 and Tech-Air® 3 Ready.
Ripstop reinforcements on shoulders, elbows and forearms for effective abrasion resistance.
Extensive 2D mesh on the chest, inner arms, and back for optimised airflow and ventilation in warm riding conditions.
100% waterproof and breathable, detachable Drystar® membrane can be worn over or under the jacket, allowing it to be easily and quickly adapted to best match the weather conditions.
Technical details
Nucleon Flex Plus Level 1 armour on the shoulders and elbows for effective impact protection.

The new jacket from LS2 is the ideal ally for comfortable and safe everyday motorcycling, especially in the difficult mid-season.
The year 2023 was once again a testament to the rise of two-wheeled urban mobility in Europe. LS2, aware of the need to protect all these users who ride motorbikes on a daily basis, presents the Bolton jacket. A lightweight and comfortable companion that offers maximum safety, without losing sight of the importance of a careful and metropolitan design. With removable protections on shoulders and elbows, CE Level 1 certified and made of three-layer softshell, the new LS2 jacket is available in a men’s and women’s version.
For years, motorbikes have been the undisputed protagonist of urban mobility. A role that continues to grow exponentially, at the same pace as the need to protect and ensure the safety of all motorcyclists who travel daily on their mounts. While it is true that there is an important awareness when it comes to quality equipment for long routes or trips, it is essential that this awareness extends to the cities. This is where LS2, a manufacturer of helmets and motorbike equipment, comes into play. LS2 is committed to creating an accessible product catalogue that combines first-class materials and the latest technology.
One of the latest additions to their portfolio is the LS2 Bolton waterproof jacket, an urban style jacket designed specifically for the in-between seasons and mild winters. It is made of triple layer softshell and is waterproof and windproof, making it an unbeatable ally even on days when the weather is bad. The rider’s safety is guaranteed thanks to the removable protections on shoulders and elbows, certified according to the EN1621-1:2012 standard, at CE Level 1. In addition, a back protector can be incorporated (the LS2 851 Level 2) and it is prepared for a chest protector.
Its light weight and the incorporation of a thermal lining and hood, both detachable, as well as a waterproof front zip closure, make it an extremely comfortable and functional garment, as shown by the inclusion of a front chest pocket and side pockets, and reflective strips for total visibility of the rider in all conditions. Design also plays an important role. With a sober and urban character, it stands out for its fit that adapts perfectly to the rider’s body and for its casual and metropolitan touch.
The LS2 Bolton waterproof jacket is available in black and in a wide range of sizes from S to 5XL for the men’s version, and from XS to 5XL for the women’s version, for a recommended price of 149 €.
Dainese presents the new MUGELLO 3 D-AIR®, MISANO 3 D-AIR® and MISANO 3 D-AIR® WMN: three state-of-the-art, lightweight, high-performance motorbike suits, equipped with the revolutionary triple-activation D-air® Racing airbag and the pentaxial elastic system, designed to offer the very highest levels of performance and safety on the track, as well as maximizing comfort and ergonomics.
The latest incarnation of the D-air® RACING SHIELD 3X system – featuring the Racing Shield 3x airbag with patented microfilament technology that allows for up to three consecutive activations – ensures maximum safety on the bike. The system takes safety to the next level by allowing the rider to independently replace the gas generator up to 3 times before the airbag needs replacing.
Plus, Riding Mode by Dainese allows to choose the airbag use mode depending on whether you’re on the road or the track. The right mode selection offers the greatest possible safety for the conditions to be faced.
MISANO 3 D-AIR – BLACK RED FLUO-RED
Superior performance is guaranteed by the technologies used in the construction of all three of these suits, rendering them extremely ergonomic; in addition, they are the lightest racing suits with an integrated airbag system. Specifically, the Mugello 3 weighs 20% less than the lightest suit with an integrated airbag system currently on the market. Safety, superior quality and comfort meet unprecedented lightness.
The innovative pentaxial elastic system on the back enables maximum freedom in the saddle in any riding position, due to the suit’s capacity to stretch in five directions, adapting seamlessly to the rider’s movements.
The new Veloce Racing Neck design, race-tested by MotoGP riders, reduces pressure on the neck, increasing freedom of movement and control. The Pro-Armor protectors on the shoulders and the soft inserts on the hips provide comfortable protection in all racing conditions. The new Soft Edges Construction system on the nape and cuffs – made from engineered abrasion-resistant and breathable fabric – enables maximum fit adaptability on all sizes and arm lengths.
MISANO 3 D-AIR – BLACK-ANTHRACITE FLUO-YELLOW
The metal plates (titanium for the Mugello 3, aluminum for the Misano 3 and Misano 3 WMN) on the knees, shoulders and elbows – an iconic technology used across Dainese racing clothing – are designed to facilitate sliding in the event of a fall, minimizing the risk of rolling and maximizing energy dissipation.
Innovation in every detail: the latest evolution of the Replaceable Slider System (RSS) 4.0 now enables the knee slider to be changed without altering the position of the base attached to the Velcro on the suit. This makes it possible to maintain an ideal position at all times, simply replacing the new slider. Innovation also comes to the elbows of the suit, which now offer two different slider positions; these can be easily adjusted with one hand with no need for tools, so riders can always choose their preferred position on the basis of the lean angle achieved.
Thermal comfort is guaranteed through the perforated areas on both sides of the suit, with larger vents at strategic points, for the best performance even on the hottest days at the track.
Finally, the in-and-out boot system allows the boot to be worn both inside and outside the suit, as the rider chooses. The waterbag kit and the new removable and washable inner liner complete the highly versatile features of Dainese’s most advanced suits ever.
MUGELLO 3 D-AIR – BLACK FLUO-RED WHITE
The MUGELLO 3 PERF. D-AIR® 1PC LEATHER SUIT, crafted entirely from high-quality durable kangaroo leather, will be available for£3,999.95. The MISANO 3 PERF. D-AIR® 1PC LEATHER SUIT, made from D-Skin 2.0 full-grain cowhide which offers excellent ergonomics and performance, will retail at £2,249.95. In the women’s version, the price of the MISANO 3 PERF. D-AIR® 1PC LEATHER SUIT WMN in D-Skin 2.0 full-grain cowhide will be £2,249.95.
Dainese presents its new racing suits with integrated D-air® airbag system and revolutionary RACING SHIELD 3X technology. Extreme performance and lightness for the track. The most cutting-edge Dainese suits ever. Mugello 3, Misano 3 and Misano 3 WMN will soon be available in Dainese stores and official stockists.

For 2024, Dainese is pleased to present several new boots to its range of riding footwear – including the urban, sneaker-style Suburb D-WP, Suburb Air and a new colour to the sporty Nexus 2 boots.
Suburb Air
Suburb
The new Suburb WP and Suburb Air are certified to CE – Cat.

The Suburb WP is constructed from suede leather and an abrasion-resistant fabric upper with a waterproof D-WP® interior, ideal for wet days. The Suburb Air has the same great look as the Suburb WP but, as the name would suggest, is perfectly suited to those warmer rides thanks to its highly ventilated construction of a microfibre upper and mesh lining.

Certified to CE – Cat. II – EN 13634 Standard, the Nexus 2 boots feature an Internal AXIAL Distortion Control System, an articulated structure integrated into the boot that serves a triple purpose: protecting against sprains, reducing the intensity of impact by distributing it over the structure‘s entire surface, and stopping objects from entering the boot.

The new 100% Made in Italy gloves, in which racing heritage becomes a style experience
SPIDI releases Race One, the 100% Made in Italy gloves produced in the Safety Lab, the in-house laboratory where the first ever inclined motorcycle glove was created in 1977, designed according to the anatomy of the hand. A place that has always been dedicated to innovation, where today technologies for MotoGP – such as electronic airbag -, are developed, together with collaborations with the most influential streetwear brands in the world.
With Race One, heritage racing becomes aesthetic exploration. These gloves, in fact, reinterpret the racing DNA of the Brand, which has been partnering with two-wheel champions since the Seventies, and combine it with the stylistic research that distinguishes SPIDI in the world of motorsports.
Technologies have changed in 45 years, but the inspiration from which Race One was born is always the same. From the SPIDI headquarters located in Sarego-Italy you can indeed enjoy an ambitious perspective on the Alps which, majestic, invite you to face ever greater challenges, through increasingly ambitious projects.
To translate into reality, however, inspiration must meet the perfect materials. SPIDI relies only on the best know-how in leather processing, which is an art in the Chiampo valley. It is in fact this Italian region where all best leathers for technical gloves come from. While in the same area, craftsmanship meets high-tech innovation to print the studs which, once incorporated into the gloves, deliver comfort in wearability and maximum protection in the event of a crash.
In the Sarego workshop, the worlds of racing and fashion merge inextricably into a unique goal: Race One. Innovation is the soul of this place that changed the history of motorcycling with its prototypes, including the first anatomical motorcycle gloves (1977), the first motorcycle jeans (1988), the first jacket with integrated airbag (1998), the first rider cooling device (2004) and the first anti-smog riding jacket (2019). Milestones of motorcycle gear, but also opportunities to test advanced technologies from which, for example, applications for the medical sector were born.
The colors of Race One are two, like its souls: black and white. The elongated lines reinterpret the concept of speed, recalling the acceleration and forces that these gloves are designed to challenge. Even the protectors placed on the glove are in balance between performance and style: obtained through direct injection and designed to limit abrasion in the event of a slide, with their design they become distinctive elements.
Craftsmanship and high-tech, racing and fashion, performance and comfort. In Race One contrasts coexist and strengthen the identity of the glove, giving life to a unique object, destined to leave its mark.

Alpinestars has been redefining the style of motorsports ever since the company was established in 1963. For over 60 years, the iconic Alpinestars logo has been representing quality, innovation, and passion.
Alpinestars is pleased to present the all-new Supertech R10 Road Racing Helmets. The result of over 10 years of intensive study, development, and testing, the goal of the Supertech family of helmets is to create the most advanced, protective, and performance-enhancing helmets possible for racers and riders worldwide.
After years of research, development, and testing by Alpinestars’ Helmet Product Development Department including MotoGP legend Andrea Dovizioso, today sees Alpinestars launching the S-R10 Road Racing Helmet. With the S-R10, the focus of the design was to ensure the highest level of performance, particularly when it comes to protection and providing a new level of safety. Additionally, the S-R10 Helmet has been engineered to provide the perfect blend of excellent ventilation, unsurpassed comfort, and the lightest weight possible, without compromising on any other front. Another crucial element unique to the S-R10’s design and development is the helmet’s advanced aerodynamics, achieved through countless sessions in the wind tunnel focused on reducing drag and providing optimal aerodynamic stability. This benefits performance on track, and greatly improves comfort for long rides on the road.
The Alpinestars Supertech R10 Helmet will be available in 6 sizes – XS through 2XL – and in both solid and graphic colorways. Solid colors will include: black carbon matte and glossy, white glossy, and matte black. In addition, Alpinestars is launching two graphics with two colorways each. The racing-inspired TEAM graphic, available in black carbon/red/white glossy, and black carbon/red fluo/dark blue matte, and the minimalistic and heritage ELEMENT graphic, available in black carbon/bright red/white glossy, and black carbon/silver/black glossy.

SUPERTECH R10 HELMET TECHNICAL FEATURES OUTER SHELL CARBON SHELL CONSTRUCTION MULTI-LAYER COMPOSITE DISPERSES ENERGY IN IMPACTS
Homologated to ECE 22.06, DOT, and FIM standards, the Supertech R10’s shell construction utilizes a highly advanced molding technology with a multi-composite combination featuring a 3K high-density carbon outer layer, a uni-directional carbon composite layer, an aramid fiber layer, and a fiberglass layer.
The 3K high-density carbon outer layer provides excellent strength and efficiency of energy dissipation over the shell. The uni-directional (UD) carbon composite layer provides significantly greater radial strength around the shell, preventing compression, but allowing controlled deflection for reducing transmitted impact energy, while the aramid fiber plus fiberglass layers provide critical penetration protection.
This layered composite combination created by bonding everything together with an advanced epoxy resin already applied on the pre-preg fiber, perfectly controls the ideal proportion of resin versus fiber to maximize strength, mechanical performance, and lightweight. The combination of material layers provides improved energy management, as well as limited outer shell deflection, making the energy spread wider and better absorbed by the EPS liner.
The S-R10’s unique shell construction results in extremely effective impact protection. With a fully equipped in-house helmet testing facility within Alpinestars’ state-of-the-art Research and Development center, the company has carried out an exhaustive impact research program, where research and development efforts have shown the S-R10 helmet returning linear and oblique impact performance results which far exceed current ECE 22.06 helmet regulation standard limits. For direct linear impacts, which are impacts at a 90-degree angle between the helmet and an object, the S-R10 surpasses the standard by an average magnitude of 37%. And for rotational acceleration and oblique impact performance, where impact energy comes from an angle other than a linear 90-degree, or right-angle straight impact, the S-R10 exceeds the standard by 65%.
INNER SHELL THE S-R10’S INNER SHELL IS MADE FROM EPS IN DIFFERENT DENSITIES
The S-R10 Helmet has four inner shells just like the outer shell, and is available in four anatomical sizes. The S-R10’s construction is optimized to ensure riders have the correct fit, which not only improves comfort and reduces overall weight but most importantly, improves the effectiveness of the helmet in an impact. Underneath the helmet’s outer shell is an eight-piece multi-density EPS liner, with six specific densities that are strategically positioned in different zones to ensure excellent energy absorption from impact forces dissipated over the outer shell, as well as a close and comfortable fit. The EPS liner, just like the outer shell, has its own unique dimension for each helmet size, further tailoring the helmet’s performance and fit when it comes to protection and comfort.
LINEAR AND OBLIQUE FORCE MANAGEMENT
The EPS inner surface is smooth, creating an optimized, low-friction area, for superior oblique impact management. When it comes to other types of helmet testing, the best helmets are those that provide protection against rotational, as well as oblique and linear impact forces.
To help fight and mitigate those rotational, oblique, and linear impact forces, Alpinestars has designed a low-friction surface on the inner surface of the EPS liner. The inner surface is polished to be incredibly smooth, and then specially coated to reduce friction even further, allowing the comfort liner to move against the EPS. The result is increased rotational and oblique and linear force management, allowing the rider’s head to move independently inside of the helmet, or vice-versa, which can significantly reduce the amount of force transmitted to the head, neck, brain, and spine from an oblique impact, while simultaneously reducing the possibility of a concussion. To recap, specific rotational impact protection is provided by the combination of the internal shape and the specific coating of the EPS liner, coupled with the specially developed surface in the comfort liner. This patented technology reduces rotational acceleration transmitted to the rider’s head.
A-HEAD FITMENT SYSTEM AND CUSTOMIZED FIT
Adding to the personalization and custom, tailor-made fit of the S-R10, is the helmet’s unique and patented A-Head Fitment System. The A-Head System allows the helmet to be tuned exactly to the rider’s preference by having the ability to adjust both the height and angle at which the helmet sits on the head. The EPS is fitted with the A-Head Fitment System that allows for an ultra-specific setup that can be adapted to how deep the rider’s head sits in the helmet, as well as how far forward or backward the helmet is tilted.
To provide riders with the ability to further tailor the SR10’s fit to better suit a wide variety of different head shapes and sizes, Alpinestars is offering a variety of spare parts in a vast range of sizes giving motorcyclists the ability to change and swap out the cheek pads, crown pad, and top pad with a selection of both thinner and thicker options, to truly customize the helmet’s comfort for a perfect fit. With the S-R10’s various inner comfort liner options, plus the unique and patented A-Head Fitment System, there are virtually countless inner fitment configurations to meet the fit and performance needs of all riders.
AERODYNAMICS DEVELOPED WITH CFD SIMULATIONS, VALIDATED IN THE WIND TUNNEL AND ON TRACK, THE S-R10 HELMET IS OPTIMIZED FOR LOW DRAG PERFORMANCE AND MAXIMUM AERODYNAMIC STABILITY
Designed and developed for professional MotoGP athletes where going faster and being protected is the goal. By minimizing drag and ensuring optimal aerodynamic stability, air management outside and inside of the helmet, and a comfortable, customizable fit, the S-R10 Helmet ensures the overall experience in racing and sport riding is fit for champions.
The S-R10 has been developed in the full-scale wind tunnel since the beginning of its development. Aerodynamic targets for the coefficient of drag in different head positions, as well as stability at different angles were a primary goal in the helmet shape development, first extensively developed with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), then validated in the full-scale wind tunnel, and finally on track. The result is a helmet that achieves the lowest level of drag, and the highest level of aerodynamic stability at high speed compared to any other race helmet that we have tested in the wind gallery. This has made the S-R10 already the helmet of choice by factory MotoGP teams for its top aerodynamic performance. Road riders will likely benefit from this too, with reduced strain on their necks at high speed and low levels of wind noise.
The S-R10 Helmet’s aerodynamic spoilers are fitted with an Alpinestars patented release system, with elastic joints that help the spoiler detach from the helmet shell if it is subjected to a significant impact, no matter what the angle, to reduce potential rotational energy.
The helmet also comes with lateral winglets to further support the S-R10’s stability and improve aerodynamic drag. In addition, the helmet visor has turbulators to improve aero-acoustic performance. As a result, compared to the aerodynamic performance of the helmet fitted with the standard road spoiler, the S-R10 itself is already the top-performing, aerodynamic helmet we have tested, and with the configuration of the race spoiler and the aero winglets together, Alpinestars Helmet Development team have achieved a reduction in drag for the helmet of an additional 4.54%.
VENTILATION THE SUPERTECH R10 HELMET CONTAINS ELEVEN VENTILATION POINTS
When it comes to ventilation and breathability, there are 11 ventilation ports, not including the eyeport, with 7 intakes including 3 in the chinguard and 4 on the top of the helmet, plus 4 exhausts, with 2 lateral ports on the chin bar, and 2 on the top rear of the helmet. These ventilation ports integrate directly with the helmet’s shell with a series of air ducts through the inner EPS liner. With the S-R10, airflow comes in through the ports, as well as actively circulates over and around the rider’s head through a series of channels, and then gets extracted out the back of the helmet.
The Top Vent features a large central slider that channels air down to the top of the head for better comfort, which when open, has vents for hot air extraction from the rider’s forehead. Under the rear spoiler, there are two extractor vents for effective hot air exhausting. The Chin Vents are formed by two openings located at the front of the helmet at the sides of the shield lock mechanism, where each flap has a tab in the corner, which is used to open or close the vent. Air entering from this point is channeled towards the inner side of the shields, creating a laminated flow of air that effectively prevents fogging and misting. In addition, the Chin Bar Vents are used to extract humid air to the outside of the helmet.
SHIELD FEATURES THE SHIELD IS DESIGNED FOR MAXIMUM VISION: 220° OF LATERAL VISION AND 57° OF VERTICAL VISION
The shield mechanism is fitted with metal lock levers to to prevent unwanted shield detachment during impacts and/or crashes, which are locked in the closed position by a front metal hook. The cinematic movement is engineered to perfectly seal the visor against the shell’s rubber window trim. The shield is engineered with an impressive wide lowered eyeport on the sides for enhanced peripheral vision, offering 220-degrees of lateral and 57-degrees of vertical visibility and providing a maximized field of view in the riding position and providing great rider comfort.
Additionally, the visor itself can be easily changed or removed thanks to its secure and toolless quick-release system. The S-R10 is fitted with an ECE 22.06 Homologated Optical Class 1 Shield, 3mm in thickness, and coated with an anti-scratch and anti-fog treatment. The shield is equipped with internal pins to accommodate a Pinlock® 120XLT – 100 % MaxVisionTM lens and external pins to accommodate tear-offs.
REMOVABLE PREMIUM LINING REMOVABLE AND WASHABLE, FEATURING FABRICS WITH ANTI-MICROBIAL TREATMENTS
The S-R10 has eight individual internal parts consisting of the crown pad, top pad, cheek pads, chin curtain, chin strap, ear pads, wind deflector, and breath deflector.
Crown Pad: The crown pad and the neck pad are elastically connected, for enhanced oblique impact management and interface with the smooth surface of the inner EPS liner. The crown pad’s construction is based on four panels (front, sides, rear), for an optimized fit with the proper foam thickness.
Top Pad: The top pad is removable and height adjustable via the A-Head Fitment System.
Cheek Pads: The cheek pads are fitted with premium, 3D foam, and fabrics, offering comfort and breathability. The cheek pads feature an ERS emergency extraction system, allowing the side cheek padding to be easily removed by trained medical professionals and they also have a channel for the installation of a hydration hose.
Chin Curtain: A chin curtain is available inside the box to provide further protection against air entering the helmet from below.
Ear Pads: Ear pads are fixed under each cheek pad and help to improve comfort by reducing the aerodynamic noise, they are removable allowing for the installation of a communication system in the helmet.
Wind and Breath Deflectors: The wind and breath deflectors are included to improve aerodynamic behavior and humid air flow, respectively.
CHIN BAR PROFILE
Another outer shell design protection feature is the chin bar’s profile, where the base area has been specifically sculpted to give a relief section. The bottom profile is raised to clear the collarbone, and instead of the hard carbon shell coming into potential contact with the collarbone, the S-R10 has a softer EPP (expanded Polypropylene) liner which extends beyond the helmet shell itself and is covered by a more flexible rubber compound. This chin bar design provides a reduced chance of any sort of collarbone injury, one of the more common injuries in motorcycling.
WEIGHT
And finally, when it comes to weight, the ECE / DOT / FIM certified Supertech R10 helmet tips the scales at an impressive 1,540 grams for a size medium, or 3.4 pounds, providing the S-R10 with an extremely high performance to protection to weight ratio.
Rated AA for protection, this stylish waterproof jacket is designed exclusively for junior riders.
