Alpinestars SM3 Falcon Helmet

Alpinestars SM3 Falcon Helmet

The Alpinestars SM3 Falcon is a full-face road helmet certified to ECE 22.06 standards. It is built for street and sport-touring riders who want a lightweight, well-ventilated helmet with a sharp graphic identity at a mid-range price point.

The SM3 platform uses a fibreglass composite shell and an aerodynamic outer profile. The Falcon graphic brings a high-contrast, angular design to the SM3 range, making it a strong visual choice for sport and naked bike riders.

Key Specifications

Shell Construction

The SM3 Falcon uses a fibreglass composite shell produced in multiple size increments. The shell profile is aerodynamically shaped to reduce wind noise and drag at road speeds. The construction keeps overall helmet weight low without compromising structural integrity.

Ventilation System

The helmet features front intake vents at the forehead and chin area, paired with rear exhaust vents. The airflow path runs through internal channels across the EPS liner, drawing heat away from the head during riding. Vents can be opened and closed to adjust airflow to conditions.

Visor

The optical class 1 polycarbonate visor provides distortion-free vision across the full field of view. It has an anti-scratch coating and UV protection. The tool-free quick-release mechanism allows the visor to be swapped without tools, and the visor is compatible with Pinlock anti-fog inserts (Pinlock lens sold separately).

Interior and Fit

The cheek pads and comfort liner are fully removable and washable. The liner uses moisture-wicking and antibacterial fabric to manage comfort during longer rides. The cheek pads include an emergency release system to assist first responders in removing the helmet safely after an incident. Fit is secured with a double D-ring chin strap.

Falcon Graphic

The Falcon graphic uses a high-contrast angular design with sharp colour transitions across the shell. The finish is gloss, with graphics integrated into the shell surface. The design suits sport, naked, and superbike riders who want a visually assertive helmet.
