Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Initial Inspection: Carefully unpack your helmet and included accessories. Check for any visible damage from shipping.
- Shield Installation: The helmet comes with both a clear and a dark shield. Refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions on how to securely install and remove these shields. Ensure the shield mechanism clicks firmly into place.
- Spoiler Attachment: The Standard spoiler is included. Follow the manual to correctly attach it, ensuring it is flush with the helmet shell for optimal aerodynamics.
- Fit Check: Before riding, ensure the helmet fits snugly but comfortably. It should not move excessively when you shake your head, nor should it create pressure points. If you are unsure of the fit, consult a professional.
Compatibility
The Alpinestars Supertech R10 is designed for adult riders of unisex gender. Its high-performance nature makes it ideal for track use, racing, and aggressive sport riding.
Care
- Cleaning the Shell: Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap (like baby shampoo) to clean the exterior shell. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the helmet's finish and materials. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and let it air dry.
- Visor Care: Clean visors with a soft, clean cloth and lukewarm water. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized visor cleaner. Never use abrasive materials or paper towels, which can scratch the surface. Ensure visors are completely dry before re-installing.
- Interior Cleaning: The helmet's interior padding is typically removable and washable. Follow the manual's instructions for removing the comfort liner and wash it gently by hand with mild soap, then air dry completely before re-installation.
- Storage: Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the provided drawstring bag to protect it from dust and scratches.
