Designed for off-road racing, the Alpinestars SM7 helmet offers a perfect balance of ventilation, lightweight comfort, and advanced impact protection. Its aerodynamic composite shell features a streamlined design free of external channels, reducing load points and minimizing impact risks. The shell's curvature promotes reduced friction during impacts, allowing energy deflection and efficient transfer to shield the rider's head, neck, and spinal column. The helmet's construction incorporates PLASMA technology at the lower shell edge for optimal energy dissipation during collarbone contact, enhancing rider safety in demanding off-road environments.
Ventilation is a key feature of the SM7, with 20 individual intake and exhaust ports—13 intakes and 7 exhausts—ensuring maximum airflow and rider comfort during intense racing. The helmet's fit is highly customizable with interchangeable cheek pads available in various thicknesses, allowing users to tailor the fit for optimal comfort and stability. The helmet is also communication system compatible, with a cutaway section on the left side of the EPS to facilitate intercom installation and earphone recesses on both sides for speakers, making it suitable for communication during races or training.
The interior linings are removable and washable with warm water and neutral soap, maintaining hygiene and freshness over time. Fabric treatments include antimicrobial properties that inhibit bacterial growth. The crown and neck pads are elastically connected to improve impact management, especially during oblique impacts. The top pad is adjustable in height via the A-Head system for a personalized fit, and the cheek pads feature an emergency extraction system (ERS) with channels designed for hydration tube installation, ensuring rider safety and convenience. The chin strap utilizes a 25 mm nylon strap with stainless steel DD rings and removable covers for easy cleaning. Integrated channels on both sides accommodate hydration systems, emphasizing the helmet's focus on rider endurance and hydration.
The visor detaching system is engineered to release upon impact exceeding 15 Joules, preventing secondary injuries and ensuring maximum impact protection regardless of impact direction. All components are designed with safety and comfort in mind, making the Alpinestars SM7 helmet an ideal choice for off-road racers seeking top performance and protection in a lightweight package.
