Alpinestars S-M7 Core Helmet

Alpinestars S-M7 Core Helmet

The Alpinestars S-M7 Core is a full-face motocross and off-road helmet certified to ECE 22.06 and DOT standards. It is designed for riders who want the S-M7 platform's composite shell construction and ventilation layout in a clean, single-colour or minimal graphic finish.

The Core sits within the S-M7 range as the base graphic option, making it a practical choice for riders who prioritise fit, certification, and airflow over bold visual styling. It shares the same structural and safety architecture as all other S-M7 variants.

Key Specifications

Shell Construction

The S-M7 Core uses a multi-composite fibre shell produced across multiple size increments. This ensures consistent wall thickness and protection geometry for each head size, rather than scaling a single shell across the full size range.

Ventilation System

The helmet features a chin bar intake, forehead vent intakes, and rear exhaust channels. Air is drawn through the interior and expelled at the rear, reducing heat build-up during sustained riding on track or trail.

Visor

The injected polycarbonate visor is adjustable across multiple positions and designed to release cleanly on impact to limit rotational force transfer. It is compatible with standard tear-off systems for race use.

Interior and Fit

The cheek pads and comfort liner are fully removable and washable. The liner uses moisture-wicking fabric to manage sweat during extended sessions. The double D-ring chin strap provides a secure, consistent closure.

Core Graphic and Finish

The Core graphic uses a minimal, single-colour or low-detail finish. This makes it a versatile option for riders who want a clean look, or who plan to use the helmet across different kit combinations without a graphic that clashes. The finish is gloss.
