Shell construction utilizes a highly advanced molding technology with a multi-composite combination: uni-directional carbon composite with aramid layer that gives significant radial strength around the shell, preventing compression but allowing controlled deflection for reducing transmitted impact energy, and providing critical penetration protectionThis combination of layers is given even greater performance with an epoxy resin bonding that offers the best possible strength and energy management; limited outer shell deflection means the energy spreads wider and is better absorbed by the EPS linerThe Supertech M8 liner construction combines with the shell to offer highly efficient impact energy managementFormed with a multi-density EPS polymer, the energy absorbing layer gives an inner helmet profile which soaks up forces dissipated over the outer shell at the point of an impact and provides a shape offering a close and comfortable fitFour section liner construction allows for specific densities of polymer to be prepared for different zones around the helmet lining improving energy performance, comfort and fitA-Head fitting height and angle adjustment systemIncorporates a system to allow the helmet to be tuned exactly to the rider’s preference for the height and angle at which the helmet sits on the head allowing for ultra-specific set-up that can be adapted for the type of riding and the rider’s preferenceRaise and lower helmet fit and tilt with micro-adjustable padVisor release system ensuring the mounting is held securely in place for riding over extreme terrain and any track conditionsVisor release system provides the right level of resistance to ensure the visor detaches from the helmet shell if it is subjected to a significant impact regardless of angleThe Supertech M8 visor release mechanism is conceived to avoid the inherent weaknesses in other types of anchoring systemsMaintaining shell integrity is vital for safety and with the possibility of multi-directional forces impacting on the visor, separation at the critical point of leading reduces potentially damaging leverage and rotational accelerations that refer injury to the rider’s neck and spineThe base of the Supertech M8 helmet has been sculpted to give a relief section, where the bottom profile is raised to clear the collarbone (clavicle)Energy absorption pad incorporated into the area of the base pad where it sits over the rider’s collarboneEnergy absorption pad consists of a more flexible compound rubber section which allows deflection when it contacts the claviclePolypropylene chinbar allows for a degree of lateral deflection, further improving impact protection for the collarbonesMulti-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS®) incorporated to reduce rotational motion energies that impact the helmet causing damaging gyration force to be transmitted to the brainA low friction ‘slip’ layer is incorporated into the Supertech M8 helmet, between the comfort padding layer and the multi-density polymer energy absorption shell. When energy is impacted upon the helmet, causing a rotation force, the MIPS layer allows for movement of the inner absorption layer to damp and re-direct the energy before causing significant acceleration stress to the brain. This mitigates the causes of brain injuries, such as concussionEmergency Release System (ERS)While the helmet is still on the rider’s head, the side cheek padding can be extracted efficiently and safely to allow ease of removal by trackside support and medical staffThe Supertech M8 is also designed to allow a helmet ‘Eject’ inflation system to be fitted into the inside crown of the shellAlong with the ERS padding removal, ‘Eject’ allows for emergency removal of the helmet, without putting load on the rider’s spineChin-strap: Wider than certification requirement: 26 mm for comfort and produced with a woven poly yarn to give a soft ‘hand’ feel that connects securely with a double D-ringThe material selection, preparation and construction of the helmet has been rigorously analyzed for weight to strength and energy absorption properties and a strict analysis of all the components used in the Supertech M8 finishing
