Anyone here any info on this? Looks like the 250 team has all switched to AlpineStar Helmets. I thought I heard they had a long term deal with Bell.

Hmmm. Interesting.

So is the Alpinestar helmet safer than the Bell or is the contract fatter?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Alpinestars probably had to install another manufacturing line to produce enough helmets for the Star team.

It's too bad. I think the Bells look the sickest. Especially the Moto 10.

They both seem like great helmets. Sometimes contracts just expire.

Has anyone gone from the Shoei or Bell to the AStars?

I went from a moto-9 to a shoei to a SM-10 lol. The bell is still probably the most comfortable helmet I have worn but I took a pretty solid hit on the SM-10 and felt nothing from it. It did it's job. The a-stars helmet is freaky light, which is nice for all day riding. Only complaint is it's not as comfortable.. if that's even a complaint.

That’s funny, Moto9 fit me oddly, Shoei is like a glove.

250 team has a gear, helmet, goggle, and boot deal. 450 team does not, 450 riders are free to wear what they choose.
