Alpinestars' approach to the development of the advanced technology of the Supertech M8 is based on the extensive experience of more than half a decade of world-class innovation across the spectrum of motorsport and, in particular, on its deep-rooted commitment to motocross. As with all other technology categories mastered by Alpinestars, the realization of a new, highly complex product requires specialized experience and know-how, as well as a project plan guided by the best minds in protection development.
