Unleash the passion for motocross with the helmet Alpinestars Supertech M3, designed for the safety and comfort of juniors.
Description+-
Anatomically designed and profiled specifically for young and younger riders, the all-new SM3 Youth Helmet is optimised for use in MX, Enduro, and off-road.
This lightweight helmet features a thermo-injected shell made from a special polymer blend reinforced with varying thicknesses designed to provide the optimal combination of impact protection and lightness. The lightweight outer shell is constructed from advanced impact-resistant thermoplastic in three sizes (Small Youth, Medium Youth, and Large Youth). The SM3 Youth weighs 1060g.
The fit can be adjusted to the rider's head using the helmet’s crown and cheek pads, which are available as authentic replacement parts in different thicknesses.
The Medium Youth and Large Youth sizes share the same EPS size, allowing riders with a YM size to initially buy a YM helmet and then configure it to a Large Youth size as they grow using crown and cheek pad replacements.
The Small Youth has a smaller EPS size and can only be adjusted through the cheek pads. Extensive research from Alpinestars has shown that children wearing a YS size are very small, typically aged 3 to 4 years, and therefore require a dedicated helmet fit.
The multi-density liner ensures that the helmet is equipped with the correct density in the right area for improved impact absorption while helping to reduce overall weight.
The interior and exterior surfaces are designed to minimise the effects of oblique impacts.
Alpinestars' patented non-slip coating is applied to the inner part of the main EPS liner to reduce rotational acceleration forces resulting from certain oblique impacts. This layer essentially acts as a sliding plane to mimic the brain's own low-friction cerebrospinal fluid, which is the body's natural defence against oblique impacts.
The patented visor release system ensures that the visor is released with the right amount of predetermined force, effectively reducing forces on the rider's neck during an impact.
The comfort liner is made from recycled materials for a reduced carbon footprint.
Hydration tube channels are integrated into the helmet's cheek pads for added convenience and performance.
Safety
Alpinestars has introduced a new internal standard for the SM3 Youth to test the helmet’s chin in more demanding conditions than the approval standard, and to meet the new Alpinestars standards, the thickness of the shell and the design structure of the helmet have been optimised in the chin area for superior impact performance.
Equipped with an emergency release system and removable cheek pads to allow for safe and easy removal of the cheek pads while wearing the helmet, while the contoured 3D foam ensures rider comfort.
The soft textile chin strap measures 25mm for optimal rider safety and comfort.
Stainless steel D-rings ensure a tight and secure fit.
Ventilation
Maximised ventilation and high levels of thermal exchange thanks to 10 intakes and seven exhaust ports.
The visor has been designed to direct air towards the ports for better airflow.
