Alpinestars S-M3 Force Helmet - Black Gloss

Engineered for motocross, enduro, and off-road riding, the Alpinestars SM3 Helmet integrates advanced technologies and innovative safety features to deliver an excellent combination of impact protection, lightweight performance, ventilation, and rider comfort.

Advanced Shell Construction

  • Thermo-Injected Shell: Constructed from a specially formulated polymer blend with varying shell thicknesses to provide an optimal balance of impact protection and low weight.
  • Lightweight Design: The SM3 weighs approximately 1430g in ECE Size Medium, helping reduce rider fatigue during demanding off-road riding.
  • Reinforced Chin Area: Alpinestars has developed an additional in-house testing standard for the SM3, subjecting the chin area to conditions beyond homologation requirements. Shell thickness and helmet structure have been optimised in this area for enhanced impact performance.

Impact & Rotational Protection

  • Patented Low-Friction Coating: Applied to the inner section of the main EPS liner, this layer acts as a slip plane to help reduce rotational acceleration forces generated by certain oblique impacts.
  • Multi-Density EPS: Features five EPS inner sections with four different densities to effectively manage helmet volume and impact performance.
  • Optimised Impact Surfaces: The helmet's inner and outer surfaces are specifically engineered to help minimise the effects of oblique impacts.

Patented Safety Systems

  • Visor Release System: Alpinestars' patented system allows the visor to release at a pre-determined level of force, helping reduce forces transferred to the rider's neck during an impact.
  • Emergency Release System: Removable cheek pads allow for safe and easy removal while the helmet remains on the rider.

Ventilation & Comfort

  • High-Flow Ventilation: Features 10 intake ports and seven exhaust ports to maximise airflow and heat transfer during demanding riding conditions.
  • 3D Contoured Foam: Provides excellent rider comfort and a secure, supportive fit.
  • Recycled Comfort Liner: Constructed using recycled materials to help reduce the helmet's overall carbon footprint.
  • Hydration Ready: Integrated hydration tube channels within the cheek pads provide added convenience for enduro and extended off-road riding.

Fit & Convenience

  • Customisable Fit: Crown and cheek pads are available as genuine spare parts in different thicknesses, allowing the interior fit to be tailored to the rider's head.
  • 25mm Soft Textile Chin Strap: Designed to provide optimal safety and rider comfort.
  • Stainless Steel D-Rings: Provide a strong, secure, and dependable fastening system.

Certification

  • ECE 22.06 Homologated for compliance with the latest European helmet safety standard.
  • DOT Certified for applicable US helmet safety requirements.

The Alpinestars SM3 Helmet is a lightweight, highly ventilated off-road helmet designed to deliver advanced impact management, rotational protection, and all-day comfort for motocross, enduro, trail, and off-road riders.
