Who likes trails, will love the Garbanzo. The enduro helmet was developed specifically for use in rough terrain. Striking are its flat polycarbonate cover for the best possible protection of the top of the head and the visually integrated shield.

For the greatest possible fun factor on the trail: the Garbanzo helmet from Alpina

Air is directed specifically into the interior of the helmet for ideal ventilation and guided along the head via channels in the Hi-EPS. The low weight of the Garbanzo comes from the Inmold manufacturing, in which the upper shell is thermally bonded to the Hi-EPS. This results in a strong surface connection that is responsible for a very stable construction. Fly screens keep insects away from the head, while the large shield guarantees additional protection in the viewing area.

The rear and temple sections are pulled further down for optimum safety in the field. This creates even greater head coverage. The lower edge of the helmet is protected by the further polycarbonate shell Edge Protect. With the Run System Ergo Pro, which is combined with the height-adjustable Custom Fit, the helmet can be perfectly adjusted to the head. Another plus for comfort: the removable, antibacterial padding. With it, you always have a comfortable wearing feeling – no matter how hot it gets in the terrain.

RUN SYSTEM ERGO PRO
The top model of the new Alpina Adaptation Systems for the rear head has left and right of the central newly designed two large “headrests”. Both, the wing-shaped cushion as well as the adjusting wheel itself, are made of a two component mix containing synthetic material and rubber. Since 2014, the Run System Ergo Pro is available in matching colors to the helmet.

Y-CLIP
A helmet can only provide proper protection if it stays securely in place in the event of an impact. The fastening that joins the two straps under the ear is critical to this. Alpina’s Y-Clip system guarantees a perfect fit down to the last millimetre, all in a matter of seconds.

ERGOMATIC
Tried and tested countless times, this is the buckle used in all Alpina cycle helmets. It features a red push button and multi-step automatic adjustment. It can be used one-handed, so for example you can loosen the strap when riding uphill and tighten it again for the descent, and it will not open in the event of a crash.

CUSTOM FIT
Because heads vary in shape they need an adjustment system that is flexible. In combination with the Run Systems, Custom Fit ensures a slip-free, snug fit. The rear neck support can be adjusted to several angles of incline so that it fits snugly and without pressure points.

AIR FLOW VENTING
ALPINA developers invest a lot of time and energy in continually improving the ventilation of our bike helmets. By using a wind tunnel tested configuration of the vents our engineers achieve a “Venturi” effect inside the helmet. It cools the head, reduces perspiration and increases performance.

FLY NET
For protection against insect bites, the front holes of some models are lined with a net.

ANTIBACTERIAL INTERIOR
Helmet pads made of a special padding material reduce the formation of bacteria and thus prevent perspiration odors.

INMOLD
Inmold helmets are produced by foaming the inner shell underneath the outer shell under high pressure and heat. Thanks to the complete bonding between the upper and lower shells INMOLD helmets are extremely sturdy and very light. In addition, they offer clearly more safety than spot-bonded helmets.

HI-EPS
The inner shell of all INMOLD helmets is made of HI-EPS (High Expanded Polystyrene). It consists of a multitude of microscopic air pockets that absorb the forces occurring in an impact. In addition, HI-EPS absorbs neither water nor sweat.

CERAMIC SHELL
That’s the name for the outer shell of all ALPINA helmets featuring INMOLD manufacturing technology. This thin and light-weight material is extremely break- and scratch-resistant, UV-stable and antistatic.

SHIELD PROTECT
The detachable shield protects against dirt splash as well as direct sunlight.

EDGE PROTECT
This manufacturing process ensures that there are no sharp edges to be found on Inmold helmets, reducing the risk of getting hurt in two ways: firstly, handling the helmet is always comfortable for the hands, and secondly, the bottom edge of the helmet will not cause scratches to the neck and shoulder areas in the event of a crash.
