The Alpinestars S-R7 Zeal Helmet is engineered for riders who demand high-performance protection with the versatility of both road and track use. Sharing design DNA with the flagship SR10 race platform, the S-R7 Zeal is optimized for an upright riding position while retaining aggressive aerodynamic efficiency and advanced safety engineering.
Its multi-layer shell construction combines fiberglass, UD carbon composite, and carbon-aramid fiber, bonded with an advanced pre-preg epoxy resin system. This structure delivers outstanding rigidity, impact resistance, and lightweight performance, ensuring a strong yet responsive helmet built for demanding riding conditions.
Aerodynamic refinement is a core focus of the S-R7 Zeal. The smooth, channel-free shell design reduces drag and minimizes turbulence, while integrated rear spoiler and winglets—developed through wind tunnel testing—enhance high-speed stability. A recessed collarbone protection zone is also incorporated into the shell design to reduce injury risk during sliding impacts.
Fit and comfort are highly customizable thanks to the patented A-Head system, allowing riders to adjust helmet height and angle for a precise, personalized fit. The interior is fully removable, washable, and antimicrobial, with multi-layer cheek pads that include integrated channels for eyewear and hydration systems. Elasticized crown and neck pad connections further improve impact management and comfort.
Ventilation is handled by a 10-port airflow system, including adjustable top vents, chin intake channels, and rear spoiler exhaust outlets. This system efficiently directs air through the helmet to maintain cooling and reduce fogging, even in demanding conditions.
Visibility is enhanced through an ECE 22.06 homologated Class 1 optical visor, paired with a Pinlock 120XLT MaxVision anti-fog lens included in the box. The tool-less quick-release system allows easy visor changes, while a secure locking mechanism prevents accidental detachment during high-speed riding.
Safety is a standout feature of the S-R7 Zeal, with a multi-density EPS liner composed of multiple impact zones engineered for optimal energy dissipation. Alpinestars’ patented PLASMA collarbone protection inserts, rotational impact management coating, and emergency quick-release system provide advanced crash protection. The helmet exceeds ECE 22.06 rotational acceleration standards by a significant margin and is certified to both ECE 22.06 and DOT requirements.
The Alpinestars S-R7 Zeal Helmet delivers a refined balance of race-inspired engineering and everyday usability, making it an excellent choice for riders who want top-tier protection, comfort, and aerodynamic performance in one package.
