FAQs
Are these cheek pads compatible with other Alpinestars helmets?
No, these cheek pads are specifically designed as replacement parts for the Alpinestars Supertech R10 helmet only.
How do I know which thickness of cheek pad to buy?
The ideal thickness depends on your head shape and how snug you prefer your helmet. If your current pads are worn, measure them. If buying new, consider if you need a tighter or looser fit than your current setup. Different thicknesses are available to fine-tune the fit.
Can I wash these cheek pads?
Yes, you can gently clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely before reinstalling.
How often should I replace my cheek pads?
It's recommended to replace cheek pads when they show signs of wear, such as becoming flattened, losing their shape, or no longer providing a snug fit. This can vary based on usage, but typically every few years is a good guideline.
What is the main benefit of replacing cheek pads?
Replacing cheek pads helps restore the original snug fit of your helmet, improves comfort by reducing pressure points, and ensures the helmet remains stable during rides.
Do these pads come in different colors?
These replacement cheek pads are typically grey, as indicated by the product information. They are primarily functional replacements for fit and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Cheek pads do not fit securely
Ensure you have selected the correct thickness for your helmet size and head shape. Realign the pads carefully with the helmet's interior mounts and press firmly until they are fully seated.
Discomfort or pressure points after installation
The selected pad thickness might be incorrect. Try a thinner or thicker set of cheek pads to achieve a more comfortable and even fit.
Pads feel too loose
Verify that the pads are the correct Alpinestars Supertech R10 replacement parts and that they are fully engaged with the helmet's internal fixing points.

They are available in various thicknesses (e.g., 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm) to help you achieve a personalized fit.
