What is the difference between the R10 Element and the R10 Team?

All R10 variants share the same helmet platform — identical carbon shell, safety certifications (ECE 22.06 / DOT / FIM), weight and performance. The difference is purely in design and positioning: - R10 Element focuses on a clean, performance-driven aesthetic with a more minimal graphic execution - R10 Team / LE versions feature more complex graphics, often inspired by racing teams or athlete collaborations There is no difference in protection, weight or performance — the choice comes down to style preference and brand/story alignment

What safety certifications does the Supertech R10 Element carry?

The R10 Element is certified to ECE 22.06 (Europe), DOT (USA), and FIM (professional racing homologation). Alpinestars' own test data shows the helmet exceeding ECE 22.06 limits by an average of 37% for linear impacts and 65% for rotational/oblique impacts — results generated at the Alpinestars in-house helmet testing facility.

Is the R10 Element suitable for track days and circuit use in Italy?

Yes. FIM homologation covers professional competition; ECE 22.06 covers road and track day use across all Italian and European circuits. The Race spoiler and lateral winglets are optimised for high-speed aerodynamic stability on track. The Road spoiler is the default configuration for road and leisure track use.

Does the R10 integrate with Alpinestars Tech-Air airbag systems?

The R10 does not directly integrate with the Tech-Air airbag system, which operates independently at jacket or suit level. The helmet and Tech-Air system function simultaneously without any physical interface requirement.

Developed over a decade, the Supertech R10 Helmet is Alpinestars’ most advanced motorcycle race helmet for road and track riding. FIM-homologated and ECE 22.06 and DOT certified, its multi-layer carbon shell, eight-piece multi-density EPS, and low-friction liner were MotoGP-validated, exceeding ECE 22.06 by 37% (linear) and 65% (rotational). A-Head Fitment System, dual spoilers, and eleven-vent cooling deliver personalized comfort, high-speed stability, and clear focus with reduced fatigue. Includes two shields (clear and dark smoke), race and road spoilers, Pinlock 120XLT lens, tear-offs, wind and breath deflectors, and helmet bag.

MotoGP-developed design: decade-long testing with elite racers delivers pro-level performance confidence on track and road.
Aero-acoustic optimization: reduced wind noise and turbulence helps minimize rider fatigue during high-speed or long-distance rides.
Panoramic eyeport: wide lateral and vertical visibility enhances peripheral awareness in tuck or upright positions for quicker line choices.
Emergency Release System: quick-removal cheek pads enable safer, faster helmet extraction by medical personnel after a crash.

Lightweight design (1,540 g in size M) limits inertial loading on the head and neck, helping reduce forces transmitted during an impact.
Shell structure engineered for controlled deflection and high energy dispersion to resist impact and penetration; certified to ECE 22.06, DOT, and FIM standards, with impact performance exceeding baseline requirements by 37% (linear) and 65% (rotational).
Aerodynamics tuned for high-speed stability to preserve consistent protective coverage; lateral winglets and turbulators manage airflow, while two interchangeable spoilers (Road and Race) use a patented release system designed to detach under extreme loads to help mitigate rotational forces in a crash.

Multi-layer carbon composite shell: 3K high‑density carbon fiber outer with unidirectional carbon fiber, aramid fiber, and fiberglass layers, epoxy‑resin bonded and cured for a lightweight, rigid monocoque; approx. 1,540 g (size M).
Shell layup orientation: strategically oriented fiber plies with controlled shell thickness zones for managed shell deflection characteristics and structural integrity.
A-Head fitment system: internal crown interface allowing height and angle adjustment via integrated sliders and pad stacking architecture.
Aerodynamic assembly: interchangeable rear spoilers (Road and Race) with patented break‑away mounts, integrated lateral winglets, and molded surface turbulators developed from CFD and wind‑tunnel data.
Ventilation architecture: 11‑port system with 7 intakes (3 chin, 4 top) and 4 exhausts; internal EPS channels and shell ducting to route airflow through the helmet structure.
Shield system: Optical Class 1 visor with anti‑fog and anti‑scratch coatings, metal center locking latch, tool‑less quick‑release side mechanism, Pinlock‑ready with tear‑off posts.
Impact liner architecture: eight‑piece, multi‑density Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) liner employing six specific densities, with a polished inner surface and low‑friction coating; chin bar features an extended Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) liner covered by a flexible rubber compound.

Sculptured By Speed

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 enhances the overall experience in racing and sport riding.

The Alpinestars Supertech R10 is the Pinnacle of Alpinestars racing helmets.

Design

Designed To Perform & Protect

Optimized chin bar design
for maximum collar bone protection. In addition to the aero and drag performance optimized shell, it is also designed with a recess at the collar bone area to keep a softer volume in case of contact with the body. The chin bar is profiled for light weight and robustness, protecting the rider’s chin tip area.

3K High Density Carbon Outer Layer.

UD Carbon Composite Layer

Glass Fiber / Nylon Fiber

Aramid Fiber Layer

Construction

Multi-layer construction

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.

Protection

Overall protection design

External and internal design and materials densities are optimized for maximum protection from linear and oblique acceleration impacts.

Shell’s lower profile is designed to protect the rider’s collarbone in a heavy impact.

Aerodynamics

Wing & Spoiler

An aerodynamic spoiler is fitted with a patented release system, also utilized on the visor of the Alpinestars S-M10 motocross helmet, with elastic joints that help the spoiler to detach from the helmet shell if it is subjected to a significant impact, no matter what the angle. (2 spoilers available: Standard and Race - with a more drastic aero effect)

The Lateral winglets support the stability and improves the aerodynamic drag.

The S-R10 helmet is fitted with turbulators on the visor to improve the aero-acoustic performance.

Shield Features

The shield mechanism is fitted with metal lock levers to prevent unwanted shield detachment during impacts, that 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, while staying distant from the shell in the opening phase. The tool-less quick release system allows fast and easy change of the visor.

Ventilation

11 Ventilation Ports

Chin Vent
The chin vent is formed by two openings located in the front of the helmet at each sides of the shield lock mechanism. Each flap has a tab in the corner, which is used to open or close the vent. Air entering from this point will be channeled towards the inner side of the shield, creating a laminated flow of air that effectively prevents fogging and misting.

Chin Bar Vents
These are used to extract humid air to the outside of the helmet.

Top Vent
The large central slider channels air down to the top of the head for better comfort. This in turn, when open, has vents for hot air extraction from the riders’ forehead.

Rear Spoiler
Under the rear spoiler, two extractor vents are located for effective hot air extraction.

Fitment

A Head

The EPS is fitted with the patented A-Head fitting height and angle adjustment system; developed by Alpinestars and originally utilized with great success in the S-M10 Motocross helmet, to allow the product to be tuned exactly to the riders’ preference for the height and angle at which the helmet sits on the head.
