The S-M7 helmet is designed for off-road racing and optimized to offer the perfect combination of superior ventilation and comfort in a lightweight helmet, while its extremely aerodynamic composite shell provides exceptional impact protection. In addition to Alpinestars' patented A-Head Fitment and Visor Detaching systems, the S-M7 features innovative PLASMA technology on the lower shell edge for optimal energy dissipation in case of contact with the collarbone area.
Aerodynamic Design: The aerodynamic profile of the S-M7 offers a smooth and streamlined shell free of external channels and features that could act as a load point in the event of an impact or compromise the overall integrity of the helmet's construction.
Energy Deflection Design: The helmet's curved shell is designed to reduce friction and deflect impact forces away from the head, helping to protect the skull, neck, and spine in the event of an accident.
PLASMA Inside: Alpinestars' patented PLASMA technology is strategically integrated into the S-M7's side pads for high-performance shock absorption in a critical area, significantly reducing the risk of injury.
A-Head Technology: Alpinestars' patented A-Head Fitment system allows easy adjustment of the angle and height at which the helmet sits on the head for an optimized fit.
Patented Visor Release: The S-M7's patented visor release system is designed to detach during an accident, reducing the risk of helmet damage or rotational injuries. The S-M7 visor is designed to automatically detach from the shell when subjected to impact energy exceeding 15 Joules for optimal impact protection, regardless of direction.
Shell Sizing for Optimal Fit: The S-M7's shell sizing solution ensures that each helmet size offers the most suitable anatomical solution for the wide range of fit needs worldwide, providing 3 different helmet shell sizes and 6 sizes for consumers from XS to XXL to ensure riders the right fit that not only enhances comfort and reduces overall weight but also improves the helmet's effectiveness in the event of an impact.
Hydration System Ready: The helmet incorporates integrated channels on both sides to accommodate a hydration system.
The multi-layer shell is constructed from a blend of fiberglass, carbon, and Aramid fiber for the optimal combination of impact protection and force dissipation, sliding performance, energy absorption, stability, and durability.
The patented A-Head Fitment system allows easy adjustment of the angle and height at which the helmet sits on the head.
Ultra-ventilated helmet with 20 individual air intakes and exhaust ports, excluding the eye port, with 13 air intakes and 7 exhausts, for optimal ventilation.
Eject Removal System Ready: the helmet is designed to accommodate the installation of an eject removal system, which includes a removable insert on the top of the EPS.
Removable Liner: With 3D foam for optimal comfort, the liner features an antimicrobial treatment for lasting freshness.
The fit of the S-M7 can be further customized through Alpinestars' original replaceable pads, available in all thicknesses and interchangeable between all shell sizes.
Lightweight: ECE 1280g and DOT 1340g for a medium size.
The S-M7 is available in the ECE2206 homologation standard.
The helmet shell construction uses highly advanced molding technology with a pre-preg composite construction that offers improved mechanical performance with an ultra-lightweight overall weight.
The result of the unique shell layering process employed in the construction of the S-M7 translates into extremely effective impact protection. The linear and oblique impact performance of the S-M7 significantly exceeds current standard limits of helmet regulations.
Specific rotational impact protection is provided by the combination of the internal shape and specific EPS liner coating, coupled with a specially developed surface in the comfort liner. This specific liner technology patented by Alpinestars reduces the rotational acceleration transmitted to the rider's head: the S-M7 helmet exceeds the new ECE 22.06 standard of peak rotational acceleration by 76%.
