Alpinestars generated a mass of hype around their first race and road helmet - here’s the info behind that build-up
After years wearing Aria,s RX7 and AGV’s Pista RR I spent a lot of time researching this helmet as it commands a hefty price tag and everything that was said was true the air flow and venting are the best I’ve ever experienced keeping my head cool in our +30 degree summer heat, field of view vision brilliant especially left and right peripheral, my medium size was spot on with comfort better than my Arai which is saying something. I found the noise levels similar to my AGV but it did quiet down more if the ear covers were in place as I’ve a coms system fitted as I removed mine. The quality of the finish is the best I’ve ever had all complemented by a stylish carry bag to store your helmet and accessories in not just a soft pouch and a draw string.
I fully recommend this helmet for all its tech and next level styling.
The whole Sportsbikeshop experience was perfect as you would expect.
The helmet is super light with good aerodynamics but with the visor open it makes a terrible whistle.
Had a lot of brands. By far best fit and very good quality
This helmet offers a superior level of comfort, cradling the head securely. The ventilation system is remarkably effective, keeping the rider cool even in warm weather. Its aerodynamic design minimizes wind noise and buffeting. The visor mechanism is smooth and precise, allowing for easy adjustments on the go. The build quality is exceptional, reflecting a high level of craftsmanship. The lightweight construction reduces rider fatigue during long rides. The liner materials feel luxurious against the skin. Overall, it provides a truly premium riding experience.
Love this! Wore Shark for years...I'll keep that for pillion-rider!
Snug, lightweight and great ventilation
What a helmet. Went to store to try sizes and got some great advice on got, pressure points adjustment. Been bedding in the helmet at home and it’s the best fitted helmet I have owned. It’s an expensive purchase but put a price on you head. It’s full carbon, comes with 2 visors and alternative spoiler along with an amazing helmet bag. I got a great deal too as sportsbikeshop price matched a 10% off deal being run on another website.
Stealth helmet, best lid Iv owned fits perfectly and the vents let a lovely flow of air through, will be brilliant in the summer months. I tried on at my local store before purchase as it's pricey but well worth the money.
It is very comfortable and value for money.
So pleased with this purchase this helmet is stunning even better in person the most comfortable helmet I've ever worn really light weight and made with high quality materials fairly priced for what it is also available in other styles
Ordered a medium size in this helmet which sportsbikeshop sent out but it was a little tight even though my head measured as a medium so they are a slightly smaller fitting than other brands, so I organised my free return and was sent a large which is perfect, looks and is quality and has good vision also. Would definitely recommend
Whilst very expensive it really is a fantastic helmet - very comfortable and quiet and very stable at speed on a naked bike
Quality is superb
Fits my visual size, great quality, best fitting helmet ever, I usual wear arai rx7 or profile v stability at speed no buffeting! Needs the chin guard as air flow big! Cools very well, but when you first try on the extended cheek guards pinch on the temple bit after fist ride, snug as! Cannot say enough how good it is! Pricey but worth it!
Helmet seems really nicely made with good quality finishes. I really like that it's come with a dark visor although it should do for the cost. Great visor mechanism making it one of the easiest visors to change.
It's really important to get the correct fit. I accidently ordered the small instead of the extra small and found it quite uncomfortable. The polystyrene lining was digging into the top of my ears. The xs fits really well and feels so much more comfortable.
I was a bit disappointed that the plain colours don't come with the race spoiler and bigger bag, but these are available if required.
Used many helmets over my 40 years of riding, AGV, Arai, Scorpion etc. love my RX7 V but the problem I have is big ears and sometimes in long runs end up with earache. So took a chance on the R10 and it's a winner. Very quiet, light and comfortable, fits round my ears and no discomfort. Only gripe is the chin spoiler piece need to be removed to fit the chin curtain to prevent draught no problem in warm days but chilli if cold. Brilliant helmet
Quality bit of kit, comes with tinted visor and helmet bag, fitment is bang on, very happy with my purchase.
Helmet design and fitment are true to the definition and the intended use. Helmet is well balanced once worn and the quality and finish is brilliant. Cooling effect is good. The vision is good. It fits amazing. Installing comms device is a bit challenging due to the design but then again it is derived from the racing perspective. The shape is a bit more oval than usual and the aerodynamics works well.
Find it cheaper at any major motorcycle accessory retailer, online or in-store and we‘ll match it.
