Insane
14 Apr 2026 by Ryan
The SR10 is incredibly lightweight and comfortable, its like a pillow wrapped around your head with weirdly selective noise protection, cuts out ALOT of wind noise but almost amplifies the sound of your bike which is fantastic. The 2 visors that come with it (clear and smoke) are easy to switch out. The smoke is great and looks darker than it is so if you do get caught out with the light gets dim then its still workable. The many vents are great too, you wont need them all open at once unless you're riding through the Sahara desert. Be careful not to lose the big vent cover as its detachable and cant seem to find any spares yet if it was to disappear, great looking and functioning helmet, wont need to buy another for a long time (touch wood).

Really comfortable from the off
12 Apr 2026 by Gary
Always used shoei helmets in the past and I’m a medium, the last shoei I had was the NSXR 2 which I had to change the cheek pads in and I still always found it a little tight. Went to the store in Birmingham and the staff were really helpful. Tried a large first (as the reviews all say they are super tight) and it was a little loose. The medium was like a glove with just enough grip around the cheeks with no pressure points anywhere.I only ride for 2-3 hours on a Saturday and Sunday and haven’t once found it getting uncomfortable.I wouldn’t say it is much noisier than the shoei but I do wear ear plugs. Wouldn’t say the build quality is any different to the shoei. All round I would say it’s up there with the best helmet I’ve had and it does look mega cool.

Early review which i’ll update once I’ve had more use of the helmet.
Expensive lid but you get what you pay for right? Absolutely stunning to look at, fits like a well fitting glove. The nice guys at SBS Norwich kindly installed the Cardo Pack talk Pro wiring/speakers etc so I’ve comms on it now. Viability is great through the visor.
A very high standard of helmet here but there is nothing more important to protect than your head is there so money well spent

Once it’s broken in, the R10 is very comfortable and feels properly secure. At higher speeds the side spoilers really help keep your head stable and reduce wobble, although you do notice a bit of wind tug when turning your head to check blind spots. Field of view is great and the vents work really well. Overall it feels solid, stable, and very much a race-focused helmet.

Great helmet, comfortable, and looks amazing. Pricey, indeed, but if you can spare the money, it is really worth it. Especially because it has space to install the cardo, unlike the pista.

Was in need of a new lid so thought I’d go with the R10. The lid was quite loud, but with earplugs it is perfect. My Cardo fitted in perfectly and mounted up to the side with ease. Glasses wearers, mine are tight to get on but it is doable and once on you don’t feel them there.
All in, a top lid and I’m please so far.

High quality and amazing field of view

Fits very snug but breaks in pretty quickly. Super comfy and light but the most noticeable thing is the massive field of view! Makes my old helmet feel like looking through a letterbox. High quality as you'd expect.

Decided to treat myself ready for my new Aprilia. Stunning helmet. Size seems spot on. Very tight getting it on and off, however once my big dome is inside feels like being caressed by koala bear fur. Gorgeous feeling fit. Worried about ruining it's beautiful lines but dropped a Cardo Edge Pro on it. Still looks awesome

Great helmet, it super tight when breaking in but as soon as it’s fully broken in, it fits perfectly. It’s a bit bad for wind noise at higher speeds but that’s to be expected from a track helmet these days. You can even Pista flip the visor. Honestly no complaints about the Supertech R10 it’s genuinely everything I could ask for in a helmet.

Looks fantastic

Tried a few helmets on around this budget and obviously you go for fitment, this alpinestars helmet bought in a medium was tight to start with has now settled and after a week or so and was worn for 6 hours no complaints! I would agree with the other review this helmet does slightly whistle when the visor if lifted and but the ventilation is that good I only lifted when at standstill, after all it's a race helmet.... overall happy and all the accessories are great.

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.
