Alpina RUPI

Alpina Rupi

The lightweight in-mold full-face helmet Alpina Rupi is made for children and weighs just 385 grams. The removable chin guard makes the helmet particularly versatile. "Rupicapra rupicapra" means "chamois" in English. They are the namesake for the new children's bike helmet and climb through terrain with as little effort as we would rope ourselves in. They are even faster downhill.

With the Rupi, ambitious kids may not be as sure-footed as chamois, but they are much better protected! The Ceramic Shell, in combination with the Hi-EPS core, ensures that the forces can be absorbed in the event of a fall. The Run System ensures that the helmet fits perfectly, as only then is the best possible protection provided. Since good ventilation is also essential when going downhill, the Rupi has 15 ventilation openings.

material / construction

• Ceramic Shell: break- and scratch-resistant polycarbonate shell; UV-stable and antistatic
  
• In-Mold Tec: the inner shell is foamed under the outer shell under high pressure and high heat; significantly better ventilation systems and ventilation openings possible; lighter helmet
• Hi-EPS: Inner shell is made of Hi-EPS (High Expanded Polystyrene); despite optimal protection, ensures extra-thin wall thicknesses and narrow helmet shapes
