The Alpinestars Supertech R7 in Solid Gloss Gray: a carbon-composite helmet built for track days and fast road riding, about 3.06 lb in size M, with a Pinlock lens in the box.
What the features mean on the road
-
Carbon, aramid and fiberglass shell (pre-preg epoxy resin): light but strong, with energy dissipation and penetration resistance. Why it matters: less weight on your neck through a long track session.
-
PLASMA collarbone inserts: two inserts in recesses on each side, designed to absorb shock and reduce injury risk in a slide.
-
Seven-piece, six-density EPS liner with a low-friction surface: positioned for impact absorption and designed to reduce rotational acceleration of the head, which is linked to concussion. The liner is matched to each shell size.
-
Aerodynamic spoiler and lateral winglets: low drag and high-speed stability. Why it matters: less buffeting and less neck strain at speed.
-
220° of peripheral and 57° of vertical vision: a wide eye port so you can see the apex and your mirrors.
-
10 ventilation ports: six intakes and four exhausts, with a slidable top vent that opens three air channels. Chin-vent air is channeled across the inside of the shield to help prevent fogging.
-
Optical Class 1 shield with Pinlock 120 MaxVision lens included: double-sided anti-scratch treatment and a tool-less quick-release. Why it matters: fast shield changes and fog resistance.
-
A-Head fitment system: adjust how high and at what angle the helmet sits on your head.
-
Removable, washable antimicrobial liner with glasses channels, an emergency release system for cheek pads, and a hydration-tube channel. A-Connect ready (communication system sold separately).
Fit and sizing
The R7 comes in sizes S–XXL across three shell sizes, with the EPS liner sized to match each shell. The A-Head system lets you tune height and angle. Alpinestars doesn’t list a head shape, so fit is easiest to judge in person.
A good fit if you ride track days or hard on the road and want a lightweight carbon helmet.
Look elsewhere if you want a built-in sun visor for touring: ask us about the Shoei GT-Air 3. Want the flagship race helmet? See the Supertech R10.
In the box
Clear visor, Pinlock 120 MaxVision anti-fog lens, breath deflector, chin curtain and a soft bag.
