Frequently asked questions Hide FAQs
What is the Supertech R7 helmets collection designed for?
The Supertech R7 helmets collection is built around Alpinestars’ full-face racing and sport road helmet platform. It is intended for riders who want a lightweight helmet with track-focused aerodynamics, stable high-speed performance, and protection suitable for aggressive road use.
Across the collection, you will find the same S-R7 helmet platform offered in multiple graphic and color versions, including solid and graphic finishes. The collection is centered on carbon-based multi-composite construction, race-oriented shape, and ventilation features for road and track riding.
Are Supertech R7 helmets ECE 22.06 or DOT certified?
Supertech R7 helmets are designed around current full-face motorcycle helmet safety standards. The collection is listed as ECE-certified, and US-market S-R7 product pages specify homologation to both ECE 22.06 and DOT standards.
Certification can vary by market, so the best practice is to confirm the exact homologation shown on the product page for the helmet you are viewing. If you ride on public roads, always choose the version approved for your region.
How should a Supertech R7 helmet fit and how do I choose the right size?
A Supertech R7 helmet should fit snugly and evenly around the head without pressure points. A correct fit will feel secure at the cheeks and crown, with minimal movement when you rotate the helmet by hand, while still allowing normal vision and comfortable jaw closure.
Start with your head circumference and compare it with the Alpinestars helmet size guidance on the product page. The S-R7 platform also uses the A-Head Fitment System, which allows fine adjustment of the helmet’s height and angle on the head for a more precise fit.
What features do Supertech R7 helmets use for ventilation, visibility, and riding comfort?
Supertech R7 helmets are built to balance protection with airflow and visibility for sport riding. The S-R7 platform uses a multi-density EPS liner, an aerodynamic shell shape, a wide eye port, and an optical Class 1 shield to support clear vision and stable comfort at speed.
The helmet ventilation layout is designed with multiple intake and exhaust ports to move air through the shell, while chin-bar air management helps reduce humidity inside the helmet. This makes the collection suitable for riders who want race-oriented airflow and a clear forward view on both road and track.
Can I use Pinlock and other accessories with a Supertech R7 helmet?
Yes. The Supertech R7 platform is designed to work with a Pinlock® 120XLT Max Vision lens, and the official S-R7 user guide also covers components and accessories such as shield replacement, shield mechanism replacement, lining removal and installation, chin curtain installation, breath deflector replacement, hydration system installation, and the A-Connect system.
That means this collection is not limited to shell and visor color options alone. It also supports practical setup changes for fog management, comfort, and rider-specific configuration, provided the accessory is intended for the S-R7 platform.
