INMOLD:
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. UV-resistant and antistatic.

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.

CUSTOM FIT:
The angle of the fitting system may be adjusted in several steps to fit as snugly around your head as possible.

ERGOMATIC:
The strap closure with a red press value 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.

FLY NET:
A mesh fabric in the front vents serves as an anti-insect mesh. It prevents insects from entering the helmet and thus protects from insect stings without compromising on air flow.

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.
