ALPINESTARS SUPERTECH R10 Review 4 MONTHS LATER..... 

I'm a hardcore longtime Shoei user. BUT, the R10 helmet is so esthetically beautiful I had to purchase one. My RF-1400 fits me like a glove and i continue to wear it around the city and for lower speed rides. The Shoei does tend to have buffering issues above 80mph that is very distracting. My commute to work is about 15 miles on the I5 (California, Orange County) and the car pool lane typically travels between 80 to 100 mph. The R10 with the race spoiler is completely stable at 120 mph (can't vouch for any speeds faster personally, and this was on a closed course highway in Mexico, lol). A major concern is that Alpinestar being a Italian company, has chosen to mass produce this helmet at a premium cost that other Italian companies still design, engineer and hand-make their helmets in Italy. It's no secret that Alpinestar and all the head honchos live and work in Torrance California area, outsourcing most all of their products to China. This leverages the Alpinestar name to maximize profits utilizing potentially unhumanistic and questionable cheap labor. They maintain a "design" office in Asolo, Italy, but i believe this only supports the major European race efforts. i couldn't resist the pull of the R10. Hopefully i won't regret it.

I hope you purchase the KYT, I’ve been looking at them for a while but it would be nice if you could make a review on it. I don’t seem to find much information or opinions/reviews on KYT helmets specifically the KX-1 race gp.

Where is it made? Italy or China?

Do u feel winds coming from downside near the lips hitting just from downside and winds hitting your nose ?😢

I have the same helmet but I don't know to install the chin curtain.Can you explain please?

Recently ordered the same color. Love this design.

wonder how it compares to arai corsair

What sticker is that you have? Does it say Supertech ?

Did you custom make that chin curtain?

fits very snug on initial newness but properly loosens up give it a few weeks it’s a Dope lid definitely not as good as an Arai or Shoei build quality love my Alpinestars Supertech R10

I preordered the same design a long time ago, its finally at the dealership while i'm on vacation/trip, and i think the fact that it says "professional helmet" on this design is pretty obnoxious/ridiculous/stupid. Thinking about maybe getting the solid carbon instead because of that stupid writing. Is it significantly louder than rf-1400? My arai quantum x was ridiculously loud and not aerodynamic at all. Rf-1400 is decent with shoei pfs, except i can't use a chinbar in it because it's totally suffocating and hot as hell with it. Guess we'll see if medium fits like shoei does, gt-air could be small for me, quantum x was definitely small since it actually matched the round shape of my head.

Great review, thanks for answering questions. I have the black carbon. There's some things I like and don't ofc. Overall get this helmet.

Mine is on preorder. I’m stoked.

The people that ask about helmet noise/volume are obviously new riders that dont wear earplugs like you should. Yall gonna go partial hearing loss and eventually stop comparing 'noise' lol. Wear earplugs and youll still hear your coms/music if thats your requirement. Wind noise alone will screw your hearing down the road much less the loud pipes.

I got the same color coming. I have a pista RR, HJC rpha 1n Red Bull edition, Arai Nicky Haden edition RIP 🪦

I would personally never leave my safety up to Chinese QC, but to each their own.

I had that helmet for like a week for testing and was increadibly disapointed with it's build quality. The visor has somewhat of a sharp and uneven edge all around, just felt super cheap. The cushions below my ears have weird plastic backing which rubs against my ears super hard whenever I put the helmet off. And just the overall feel of all the plastic bits was increadibly increadibly bad.

I love it I think in person it looks better than the pista tbh

Really thrown wether or not to get this over the Agv pista

You should try on a scorpion exo r1

I think the Shoei X15 is a bit better quality.

that’s a straight up race helmet

Is the helmet made in China?
