FAQs

Is the Alpinestars R10 Shield Pinlock Lens compatible with other helmet brands?

No, this Pinlock insert is specifically designed and precision-cut to fit the Alpinestars Supertech R10 helmet visor only. It is not compatible with other helmet brands or models.

How does the Pinlock insert prevent fogging?

It uses a two-part system: a moisture-absorbing insert lens made from hydrophilic material that draws moisture away, and a double-layer air pocket between the insert and the visor which acts as insulation to prevent condensation buildup.

How often should I clean the Pinlock insert?

It is recommended to clean the insert regularly, especially after rides in adverse conditions, to maintain its anti-fog effectiveness. Use a soft, damp cloth and mild cleaning solution.

Can I install the Pinlock insert myself?

Yes, the Pinlock insert is designed for easy user installation. Simply align it with the pins on the inside of your Supertech R10 visor and press it into place.

What is the main benefit of using this Pinlock insert?

The main benefit is maintaining clear, unobstructed vision by preventing the visor from fogging up in cold or wet conditions, thereby enhancing rider safety and comfort.

Does the Pinlock insert affect my field of view?

No, the Pinlock insert is precision cut to fit the Supertech R10 visor, ensuring a secure fit with no distortion, providing a wide and accurate field of view.

Troubleshooting

Pinlock insert not sealing correctly

Ensure the Pinlock insert is correctly aligned with the visor pins and fully seated. Check for any debris or obstructions on the visor or insert edges that may be preventing a proper seal.

Fogging still occurs

Verify that the double-layer air pocket is intact and not compromised. Clean the insert and visor as per care instructions, as dirt or residue can affect performance. Ensure the Pinlock is designed for your specific helmet model's visor.

Difficulty attaching the insert

Make sure you are using the correct Alpinestars Supertech R10 visor and that the Pinlock mounting pins are properly installed on the visor. Do not force the insert; ensure alignment before pressing into place.
