Technology:

Ergomatic:
Proven hundreds of thousands of times and used in all Alpina bicycle helmets: Alpina’s well-known belt buckle with red push button and multi-stage automatic snap-in mechanism. Ergomatic can be operated with one hand – uphill you can loosen the strap, downhill you can tighten it – and it cannot open itself in case of a fall.

Run System Classic:
Those who just want to go shopping with a bike do not necessarily need a sophisticated and expensive adaptation system. Alpina’s Run System Classic is sufficient here – a simple and robust adjusting wheel that holds the helmet securely and uncomplicatedly where it belongs: on the head.

Y-Clip:
A helmet can only protect well as long as it remains in the optimal position during an impact. The fixation of the two straps under the ear plays a decisive role. The Alpina Y-Clip system guarantees millimetre-accurate adjustment – in a matter of seconds.

Hi-EPS:
The inner shell of every Alpina helmet is made of Hi-EPS (” High Expanded Polystyrene” ). It consists of microscopically small air chambers which optimally absorb the forces acting in the event of an impact. Hi-EPS ensures extra-thin wall thicknesses and narrow helmet shapes in spite of optimum protection.

Edge Protect:
Edge Protect is a processing technique that ensures that in-mould helmets have no sharp edges. This reduces the risk of injury in two ways: On the one hand, the hands are spared when handling the helmet, on the other hand, the neck and shoulder area is protected from scratches in the event of a collision with the lower edge of the helmet.

Ceramic Shell:
All Alpina in-mould helmets are fitted with this break-resistant and scratch-resistant polycarbonate shell. The blank is stretched under strong heat onto the shape of the later helmet and pressed with high pressure onto its Hi-EPS body. The material is characterised by several qualities at the same time: it is break-resistant, scratch-resistant, UV-stable and antistatic.

In-Mold Tec:
In the in-mould production process, the polycarbonate helmet shell is ” baked” with the EPS granulate of the helmet body under great heat and pressure. This creates a large and inseparable connection between the upper and lower shell. Advantage: The helmet is very light and at the same time extremely stable.

Shield Protect:
The removable shield protects the face both from dirt and direct sunlight.

Airflow Venting:
Alpina developers spend a lot of time and energy on improving the ventilation of their bike helmets. Through the wind tunnel-tested vent arrangement, Alpina’s engineers create a ” Venturi” effect inside the helmet that cools the head, resulting in less sweat and higher performance.

Fly Net:
The front ventilation openings of the helmet are provided with a net fabric. This has the same function as an insect screen and prevents insect bites on the scalp in hot and humid riding periods and places.
