INMOULD:
The liner is fused with the outer shell under high pressure and strong heat for a lasting connection. This makes the helmet very robust and lightweight.

HI-EPS:
The inner shell is made from High Expanded Polystyrene with numerous microscopic air chambers that absorb impact energy in case of a fall.

CERAMIC SHELL:
A break- and scratch-resistant polycarbonate outer shell that is pressed onto an HI-EPS body under high pressure and with strong heat. Antistatic.

CARBON TEC:
The material carbon is processed as carbon plates in the outer shell using the Inmold process. This makes the helmet particularly robust, while being lightweight. Forces acting on the helmet at specific points are absorbed by the carbon fibres, distributed over a larger area and thus reduced.

EDGE PROTECT:
Sharp edges are eliminated during the manufacturing process in order to protect your hands when using the helmet as well as to effectively protect your neck and shoulders in case of an impact.

RUN SYSTEM ERGO FLEX:
The lightest and most comfortable fitting system by ALPINA. The filigree construction fits snugly around the head and thus improves protection. The system may be adjusted in height and width with a precise ratchet system.

ERGOMATIC:
The strap closure with a red press button and a multi-step ratchet mechanism can be operated with one hand only. It won’t become loose in case of a fall.

Y-CLIP:
Both straps can be easily adjusted at the ears, so that you can adapt the position of the straps to your individual head shape.

ANTIBACTERIAL INTERIOR:
The pad material prevents the formation of bacteria and odours. Besides, you can remove and wash the pads at up to 40°C, if need be. The dermatologically tested liner padding ensures best skin tolerance.
