ALPINA Valparola helmet

The streets, the mountains, the inclines, the descents: this is the world of the Valparola. The light racing bike helmet proves to be a winner with its low weight and excellent ventilation. The aerodynamics were the focal point during development. Thanks to the 27 large openings, the head is ventilated as well as possible at all times. The low weight is due to the inmold production where the helmet’s upper shell is thermally connected with the Hi-EPS. This results in a solid surface connection, which is responsible for a very sturdy design. The Valparola’s special feature: it consists of a three-piece shell system that provides the highest degree of stability to every part of the helmet. With the Run System Ergo Pro, which can be combined with the height-adjustable Custom Fit, the helmet can be perfectly adjusted to your head. Another plus for comfort: the removable anti-bacterial cushioning. Fly screens keep insects away from the head, and the optional shield guarantees optimum protection in the field of vision. The lower edge of the helmet is protected by the polycarbonate shell Edge Protect. Of interest to cross-country mountain bikers: A clip-on shield in a matching colour is included in delivery.
