Alpinestars Supertech R10 | Best helmet on the market?

[@lawrencecheung73]

I received my R10 in June of this year. For the price, you can't compare. Extra visor with pinlock unlike other brands. Great airflow, and less wind noise than my Shoei.

[@CaliMotoTV]

I agree I was rather impressed with it and love mine

[@blessed4164]

Purchased the Black gloss Carbon, 100% Fantastic Helmet! The airflow is amazing, love my other helmet SHOEI RF14 with the American flag however this helmet imho is worth the $1100 after taxes price tag.

[@CaliMotoTV]

Totally agree! Enjoy the helmet

[@gerryherrera2344]

Just ordered the black carbon. Looks incredible. Bought it mostly for looks 😂😂😂

[@CaliMotoTV]

Bonus points with it being an awesome helmet

[@lakayshredsmtb447]

Funny you rave about the lining. That is probably the only thing I dislike about my new R10. Its no where near as comfy and soft as my old Aria RX7. Track days where you take on/off your helmet all day gets too abrasive and starts to hurt my face. But I did find a solution and bought a cool weather helmet under liner.

[@CaliMotoTV]

Interesting, I haven't sweat nearly enough to have experienced that! Thanks for the personal experience

[@theonlyredspecial]

I think this helmet wears a bit small. I usually wear xl and had the same issue. I have a good dealer and he exhanged it for a 2xl and I don’t get the same issue on the face. It’s still tight enough and fits great. Might not be a solution for you as everyone has a different shaped head and face but getting the larger size cured the problem for me.

[@lakayshredsmtb447]

So far using the liner works great. My ears don't fold and earplugs don't fallout

[@KentPhillips]

Nice vid. Answered my biggest question which is about the noise. Went from a Shoei RF-1200 to an X-14 and the noise was very noticeable even with earplugs but especially while recording with a gopro. Hearing that it’s similar to the RF-1400 for noise is enticing.

[@CaliMotoTV]

@KentPhillips yea I thought it would have been louder but nope!

[@volodymyrshoniia2424]

It is definitely louder than rf-1400 , although not as loud as my quantum-x was, but also has much better airflow, rf-1400 is suffocating if chin curtain is installed

[@volodymyrshoniia2424]

Big ears say wear a skull cap to avoid earritation. Otherwise feels pretty comfortable. Speaker pocket placement isn't great for elephant ear people like meself. Vent plug is a bit silly, but I guess it's a racing helmet thing instead of having a sliding vent cover, just take it out and keep it in the helmet bag until a cooler season. The lock kinda sucks, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Eh, who cares about swapping shields/visors? Especially after transitions become available. Just be careful and pay attention, I guess. The "professional helmet" writing on my silver graphics variant is obnoxious. The airflow is pretty great, espefially compared to my rf-1400 which is a bit quieter, not that loud either compared to my old arai or something like bell race star dlx. My sensitive eyes wish the smoked visor was darker, maybe a pinlock would help a bit, was going to save it for thw transitions shield when that comes eventually. Crown fit adjustment doesn't seem to make much of a difference for me, expected something more drastic perhaps. Overall quality and fit/finish are somewhat underwhelming for the price, but the design and functionality seem to be pretty good.

[@05EVORS]

Almost ready to pull trigger on a white one, found a black race spoiler out of England on Ebay lol... I require photochromatic shield coming from a 2014 Bell Carbon Star w transitions lens. Ive messed with the visor mechanism at Revzilla here in Costa Mesa (Socal) and it SUCKS to deal with (it was tinted) and I imagine a clear/transitions is easier to see to stab those pins. The other thing is that lock on the front middle. Gonna take some getting used too. I might just keep mine cracked open 1/8". There are literally zero videos about the photo chromatic Shield I guess nobody wants to pay for it. They come Standard on the Bells....i would totally get a Bell again if they had normal detents for visor position. Their magnetic chin straps have gotten better. Mine comes off and sucks to reattach w gloves once riding...id rather have normal snap honestly

[@CaliMotoTV]

So those photochromic lenses I actually don't like all that much they don't get dark enough for me. I have it on my shoei and I won't get another for my R10. But I saw Revilla has some.

[@mokongkoboyong]

That not helmet book guidelines its "bible" 😅 awesome video bro ✌️ hello from Malaysia.. I'm still love my Arai RX7X & XD

[@CaliMotoTV]

Thank you!

[@jahyoda]

Just ordered My R10...I actually run an Arai xd4 ..with vsior removed..best airflow Arai Offers...hope this is as good or better ...it gets hot in Chico

[@CaliMotoTV]

Gets hot in AZ! But it flows so well!

[@jahyoda]

@@CaliMotoTV you're not lying....thought I was in hell passing through Phoenix last month 🤣🤣

[@kupalisky3553]

Where did you order from? Looks sold out everywhere

[@jahyoda]

@@kupalisky3553 speedaddicts had them

[@daleyoung6489]

How does the fit compare to Arai Corsair x or Shoei X-1400? I wear a medium in both of those.

[@CaliMotoTV]

So I can't wear Arai, they pinch my temples so I can't help you there. Now it is similar to shoei in size and fit. So a medium in a shoei is probably a medium in this. Same headshape as well.

[@drewhil23]

no prob setting up a sena in this helmet?

[@CaliMotoTV]

From others that have done it, no. I won't be putting anything on this helmet.

[@Ericho-d1t]

Shoei X15 is the best ❤

[@CaliMotoTV]

It's good, but this is better. But to each their own

[@Ericho-d1t]

Own both serious X15 better

[@CaliMotoTV]

@inson1219 ooohhh! Nice. So what makes it better? Honestly curious on your take of the helmets

[@motorjack141]

Can you elaborate why? ​@inson1219

[@bastiphantasty7147]

Whats better the R10 or the Pista Gp?

[@CaliMotoTV]

I think that comes down to you really. I can't say if the pista is better because I haven't had the chance to test one out.

[@Opie..]

The European market's Shoie X-SPR PRO (not the USA X15) is up there with them, if not better.

[@tmunford1779]

I’m inbetween sizes of a L and XL. What do I do?

[@CaliMotoTV]

You might be able to get an xl and then build the internals to match your head size

[@cjlaser0]

Same idk what to do lol 😂

[@Waldo1122]

Nothing with "Made in China" written on it will ever be the best.

[@CaliMotoTV]

Aside from the many products that are...

[@Waldo1122]

@@CaliMotoTV Like what? That helmet is $1000+ and is Made in China while the competition is Made in Japan and costs half that with the same certifications and tech. This is a total ripoff and Alpinestars should be ashamed.

[@lesteruy6184]

What size is this bro?

[@CaliMotoTV]

Large

[@lesteruy6184]

@@CaliMotoTV I’m a large size. Should I size up? I heard they run abit small

[@CaliMotoTV]

I wear large and bought a large, you'll need to try one on to see.

[@IgorHolizna]

Arai❤

[@CaliMotoTV]

I like them, unfortunately they don't fit my head shape.

[@volodymyrshoniia2424]

​@@CaliMotoTVthey have three different shapes on offer depending on the helmet model! Can vary a bit by model as well.

[@moton8tion866]

After comparing it side by side to a shoei, its clearly not the best. It's more like 3rd tier. The vents felt cheap, and dont get me started on the front vent plug. 😅

[@CaliMotoTV]

Having ridden with both I felt it was better.

[@xhioni]

Best on the planet …… LS2 Advant X CARBON

[@CaliMotoTV]

Cool helmet, but it isn't in the same league as the x15, agv, Arai, or this one. A KYT, x-lite, or similar would be a good comparison though.

[@ruhollah070]

What a boring video
