The helmet's A-Head Fitment System allows the rider to tilt the helmet forward or backwards, up or down, depending on the type of riding they're doing. For example, if you're only rid - ing on the track, you'll probably want the helmet to rotate slightly to the rear, thus giving you more vision when in a full tuck. Road riders may want a slightly more relaxed stance from the helmet, as they won't be tucked behind the bubble as much. Alpinestars claims 220-de- grees of lateral and 57-degrees of vertical visibility. The shield has a locking mechanism at the front, making it unlikely the visor will come off in a crash. The visor is an Optical Class 1 item, three millimeters in thickness, and coated with an anti-scratch and anti-fog treat - ment. Removal is via a toolless ratchet system.

The helmet features a total of 11 ventilation ports, excluding the eye port. This includes seven intake ports—three on the chin guard and four on the top of the helmet—along with four exhaust ports with two lateral ports on the chin bar and two on the top rear • QUITE A STIFF DESIGN, SO GETTING IT ON AND OFF CAN BE A BIT UNCOMFORTABLE • THE MOST STABLE TRACK HELMET I'VE EVER TESTED • HUGE FIELD OF VISION • INNER AND OUTER HELMET ADJUSTABILITY The S-R10 comes with two • THE MOST STABLE TRACK HELMET I'VE EVER TESTED The S-R10 comes with two • THE MOST STABLE TRACK move independently inside of the helmet, or vice versa, which can significantly reduce the amount from an oblique impact, while simultaneously reducing the possibility of a concussion."
