When it comes to gear, few brands have the acclaim that Italian company Alpinestars has all over the world. The AStars name features prominently on some of the world's top racers both on and off-road, as well as on weekend warriors' outfits be it on the trails, streets, or race track. While Alpinestars' gear selection is among the widest in the industry, the same can't be said about its helmets.
Yes, Alpinestars has a wide collection of off-road lids, but that's about it. Luckily, the brand recently introduced the Supertech R10, its first full-face racing helmet designed specifically for track use. The Supertech R10, back when it was launched, was marketed as a top-tier racing helmet complete with MotoGP-derived technology. Indeed, when it comes to racing helmets, the Supertech R10 is about the closest thing you can get to an actual MotoGP helmet, going a step further than the standard ECE 22.06 certification with a full-fledged FIM safety certification.
