Alpina Carapax 2.0 - MTB Helmet
The right choice in any terrain: the Carapax 2.0 MTB helmet from Alpina
The Carapax 2.0 from Alpina is at home on the trails. With the revised version of the successful model, you always make the right choice in the terrain. Whether uphill or downhill. It is an all-rounder in the off-road sector and is one of the lightest enduro models on the market. The Run System Ergo Flex ensures maximum comfort and safety. The adjustment system impresses with a filigree design and fixes the helmet evenly in the 360 degree circumference on the head. There is no more individual, smooth and comfortable way to adjust a bicycle helmet.
Another plus for comfort: the removable, padding. With it, you always have a comfortable feeling - no matter how hot it gets in the field. The low weight of the Carapax 2.0 comes from the Inmold manufacturing, in which the upper shell is thermally bonded to the Hi-EPS. This results in a solid surface connection, which is responsible for a very stable construction. The lower edge of the helmet is protected by the further polycarbonate shell Edge Protect. Thanks to the Seamless Connection, it nestles seamlessly with the upper shell.
For the highest possible safety on rough trails, the rear and the temple area are pulled further down. This creates even greater head coverage. Large vents allow for optimal ventilation, fly screens keep insects away from the head, and the height-adjustable shield guarantees optimal protection in the viewing area.

Technologies
AIR FLOW VENTING
Alpina developers spend a lot of time and energy to constantly improve the ventilation of our cycling helmets. Through wind tunnel tested arrangement of vents, our engineers create a "Venturi" effect inside the helmet that cools the head, leading to less sweat and higher performance.
FLY NET
The front vents of the helmet are covered with a mesh fabric. This performs the same function as an insect screen, preventing insect bites on the scalp during hot and humid riding periods and locations.
CERAMIC SHELL
All Inmold-manufactured helmets from Alpina, receive this shatter and scratch resistant polycarbonate shell. The blank is stretched under high heat to the shape of the later helmet and pressed with high pressure on its Hi-EPS body. The material is characterized by several qualities at the same time: It is break- and scratch-resistant, UV-stable as well as antistatic.
CUSTOM FIT
Different head shapes require a flexible fitting system. In combination with the Run System, Custom Fit ensures a non-slip fit. The neckband at the back of the head can be tilted in several stages and grips the head gently without pressure points.
EDGE PROTECT
Edge Protect is a processing method that ensures Inmold helmets have no sharp edges. This reduces the risk of injury in two ways: on the one hand, it protects the hands when handling the helmet, and on the other hand, in the event of an impact, the neck and shoulder area remain protected from scratches when in contact with the lower edge of the helmet.
ERGOMATIC
Proven hundreds of thousands of times and used in all Alpina bicycle helmets: the well-known belt buckle with red push button and multi-stage automatic detent. Ergomatic can be operated with one hand - you can loosen the strap uphill, tighten it downhill - and cannot open itself in the event of a fall.
HI-EPS
The inner shell of every Alpina helmet is made of Hi-EPS ("High Expanded Polystyrene"). It consists of microscopic air chambers, which optimally absorb the forces acting during an impact. Despite optimum protection, HI-EPS ensures extra-thin wall thicknesses and narrow helmet shapes.
INMOLD
In the Inmold production process, the helmet upper shell made of polycarbonate is "baked" together with the EPS granulate of the helmet body under high heat and strong pressure. This creates an extensive and inseparable bond between the upper and lower shells. Advantage: The helmet is very light and at the same time extremely stable.
SHIELD PROTECT
The removable shield protects against both splashing dirt and direct sunlight.
RUN SYSTEM ERGO Flex
via the Run System, the size of the helmet can be individually adjusted on all helmets from Alpina via a smooth-running rotary wheel. The Run System Ergo Flex is the lightest and most comfortable fitting system from Alpina. The filigree design nestles evenly against the head and thus increases protection. The Run System Ergo Flex can be adjusted via a fine grid - a helmet cannot be adjusted more individually, smoothly and comfortably.
Y-CLIP
A helmet can only protect as well as it remains in the optimum position on impact. The fixation of the two straps under the ear plays a decisive role in this. Alpina's "Y-Clip" system guarantees a millimeter-precise adjustment - in seconds.
