Sporty, dynamic and at the same time reduced, clean. The ALPINA PARANA is a touring bike helmet for sporty cyclists with high demands on their own style and safety.

Modern trekking helmet: the Parana from Alpina

Thanks to Hi-EPS and the Inmold construction, the ALPINA PARANA is very lightweight, while at the same time protecting the head in the event of an impact. The proven ALPINA fit ensures that the bike helmet fits perfectly, does not slip, nothing pinches. With the Run System Ergo Flex + adjustment system, the bike helmet can be individually adjusted to the head.

The system is light, delicate and at the same time robust. The dynamically designed helmet bars not only create a light and modern look, but also ensure that the head is well ventilated. This ensures a cool head, maximum comfort and lots of fun on long tours.

Features – Parana Classic

Airflow Venting: directs cooling air along the head
Fly Net: the front vents of the helmet are covered with a mesh fabric
Ceramic Shell: break and scratch resistant, UV stable and antistatic
Custom Fit: the optimal fit can be adjusted by a wheel at the back of the head
Edge Protect: increases the durability of the helmet by covering the edges
Ergomatic: closure that can be operated with one hand and remains firmly closed in the event of a fall
Hi-EPS: small air chambers absorb forces in the event of an impact to protect the head
Inmold: the thermal connection between the upper and lower shells makes the helmet light and strong
Run System Ergo+: a smooth turning wheel allows you to adjust the helmet size
Shield Protect: the removable shield protects against both splashing dirt and direct sunlight
Y-Clip: guarantees a precise adjustment of the seating position and thus the best possible protection

Technologies

AIR FLOW VENTING
Alpina developers spend a lot of time and energy on constantly improving the ventilation of our cycling helmets. By wind tunnel tested arrangement of the vents, our engineers create a “Venturi” effect inside the helmet, which cools the head, leads to less sweat and higher performance.

FLY NET
The front vents of the helmet are covered with a mesh fabric. This performs the same function as an insect screen, preventing insect bites on the scalp during hot and humid riding periods and locations.

CERAMIC SHELL
All Inmold-manufactured helmets from Alpina, receive this shatter and scratch resistant polycarbonate shell. The blank is stretched under high heat to the shape of the later helmet and pressed with high pressure on its Hi-EPS body. The material is characterized by several qualities at the same time: It is break- and scratch-resistant, UV-stable as well as antistatic.

CUSTOM FIT
Different head shapes require a flexible fitting system. In combination with the Run System, Custom Fit ensures a non-slip fit. The neckband at the back of the head can be tilted in several stages and grips the head gently without pressure points.

EDGE PROTECT
Edge Protect is a processing method that ensures Inmold helmets have no sharp edges. This reduces the risk of injury in two ways: on the one hand, it protects the hands when handling the helmet, and on the other hand, in the event of an impact, the neck and shoulder area remain protected from scratches when in contact with the lower edge of the helmet.

ERGOMATIC
Proven hundreds of thousands of times and used in all Alpina bicycle helmets: the well-known belt buckle with red push button and multi-stage automatic detent. Ergomatic can be operated with one hand – you can loosen the strap uphill, tighten it downhill – and cannot open itself in the event of a fall.

HI-EPS
The inner shell of every Alpina helmet is made of Hi-EPS (“High Expanded Polystyrene”). It consists of microscopic air chambers, which optimally absorb the forces acting during an impact. Despite optimum protection, HI-EPS ensures extra-thin wall thicknesses and narrow helmet shapes.

INMOLD
In the Inmold production process, the helmet upper shell made of polycarbonate is “baked” together with the EPS granulate of the helmet body under high heat and strong pressure. This creates an extensive and inseparable bond between the upper and lower shells. Advantage: The helmet is very light and at the same time extremely stable.

RUN SYSTEM ERGO+
Like its big brother, the RUN SYSTEM ERGO PRO, Alpina’s second most elaborate helmet fitting system features the newly developed, pressure-distributing “headrests” and the new, easier-to-use adjustment wheel. The only difference from the top model is that the wing-shaped supports and the dial are made only of plastic.

SHIELD PROTECT
The removable shield protects against both splashing dirt and direct sunlight.

Y-CLIP
A helmet can only protect as well as it remains in the optimum position on impact. The fixation of the two straps under the ear plays a crucial role here. Alpina’s “Y-Clip” system guarantees a millimeter-precise adjustment – in seconds.
