Yes, the new arrivals MTB collection includes gear designed for various mountain biking disciplines. Many products feature versatile designs that perform across trail, enduro, and all-mountain riding styles. Trail-specific items emphasize lightweight breathability and pedaling efficiency, while enduro-focused gear provides enhanced impact protection and durability for aggressive descents. Product descriptions indicate the intended riding discipline, and many items in this collection offer the versatility to handle mixed terrain and varied riding intensities.
Alpinestars MTB helmets and protective gear in this collection meet or exceed international safety certifications. Helmets comply with CPSC, EN 1078, and AS/NZS standards for bicycle helmets, with select models featuring MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology for enhanced rotational impact protection. Body armor, knee guards, and elbow protection incorporate CE-certified armor that meets EN 1621 standards for impact protection. This racing-derived safety technology ensures professional-grade protection whether you're on technical trails or competitive enduro courses.
Proper care extends the life and performance of your MTB gear. Jerseys and shorts should be machine washed in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air-dried to preserve technical fabrics and moisture-wicking properties—avoid fabric softeners which can reduce breathability. Protective gear with CE armor should have removable pads taken out before washing the textile components. Helmets require only gentle cleaning with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals that can degrade the protective shell and EPS liner. Gloves can be hand-washed or machine washed on delicate settings. Always store gear in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain material integrity.
