This commitment has led to milestone achievements in the industry at the development and production site near Augsburg. Grau retired at the end of July 2012 but his philosophy remains: market leader ALPINA will continue to be an innovation driver with Grau’s successors, Alexander Selch and Falk Pewestorf, at the helm. The two chief executives will drive the company’s internationalization forward and are striving for technology leadership.

Naturally, a helmet should also offer maximum safety in a crash. ALPINA’s new PHEOX and PHEOX L.E. helmets boast all the comfort features of its top-of-the-line PHEOS model with which the pros of the Multivan-Merida Biking Team clinch their World Cup victories. Innovative ALPINA TWIN-SHELL technology ensures optimal protection, as two helmet shells featuring a clever design sit on the helmet’s EPS body.

These bikes are agile, sturdy and tough – just like the matching helmets from ALPINA’s Park and Freeride collection. And best of all: thanks to an adjustment system and variable pads AIRTIME and ALPINA PARK helmets even “grow” along with their wearers’ heads. Thu, 16 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_helmets_13/30 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_helmets_13/31 A bicycle helmet protects in case of a crash, as research has long proven. Preventing accidents in the first place is better yet. This is where ALPINA comes in with its new PANOMA CITY helmet for city bikers and e-mobility enthusiasts. An integrated taillight plus reflecting stickers and straps reduce the risk of cyclists being overlooked in the hurly-burly of urban traffic. Thu, 16 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_helmets_13/31 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_helmets_13/32 Innovations have a long tradition at ALPINA. 17 years ago, the manufacturer that produces in Germany invented the RUN-SYSTEM for fast and effective adjustment of the bike helmet to the wearer’s head – setting a new milestone in terms of safety and comfort. Now the next evolution – RUN-SYSTEM ERGO – follows with four adjustment systems attuned to specific uses for even better fit and higher comfort. Thu, 16 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_helmets_13/32 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_sportbrillen_13/33 For 33 years, ALPINA has been committed to the protection of athletes. The aim of developing the best helmets and eyewear has consistently been driving the company toward new innovations. This also applies to the TWIST FOUR sports glass line: three models that fully meet the wishes of any sports cyclist. Thu, 16 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_sportbrillen_13/33 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_helme_2012/17 Urban commuters riding home on their bikes or kids still out in the streets cycling at dusk run a particularly high risk of being hit by vehicles whose drivers simply fail to see them. Therefore, being visible to motorists in low-light conditions is crucial to staying out of harm’s way when riding a bike in urban traffic. Consistently striving to enhance the passive safety of cyclists, ALPINA has developed its line of FLASH helmets, FB 2.0 FLASH and GAMMA FLASH. Both are equipped with an LED taillight for visibly enhanced protection. Tue, 06 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_helme_2012/17 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_helme_2012/18 Racing cyclists and mountain bikers are in total agreement: PHEOS and PHEOS L.E. are ALPINA’s new top helmets. Admittedly, bikes, brakes and tires make a larger contribution to World Cup victories or World Championship triumphs than helmets. But the helmet plays the key role in protecting the athlete’s health, so only the best is good enough. Tue, 06 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_helme_2012/18 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_sportbrillen_2012/19 ALPINA’S VARIOFLEX lens is a tried and tested product. In PSO TWIST FOUR VL+ the German eyewear specialist proves that a good product can be made even better. The “+” makes a small but important difference. It stands for auto-tinting plus effective anti-fogging. The “Pro-Sport-Optic” version comes with optical inserts for glazing with prescription lenses. Tue, 06 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_sportbrillen_2012/19 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_sportbrillen_2012/20 An old piece of macho wisdom: size matters. It certainly does when it comes to sports shields. Whether on the final sprint on Champs Elysées or a fast downhill stretch in the country: the bigger the lens the better the ride. Because a large lens keeps away the draft. But: Size is nothing without performance. The TWIST FOUR SHIELD VL+ combines automatic tinting and effective fogging protection with a true broadband lens.

The deliverables for ALPINA’s product developers were clearly defined: a helmet that combines new, unrivaled levels of performance, uncompromising safety and exceptional design. A helmet that hails straight from the future: CHEOS. Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skihelme_12_13/22 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_sportbrillen_12_13/23 Shields made by ALPINA stand for more than 30 years of excellence marked by extremely high-grade lenses, perfect fit to individual nasal shapes and facial forms plus four-season performance. In 2012, ALPINA is launching a new family member of its time-tested TWIST line: Twist Four 2.0 QL+ with QUATTROFLEX+ technology. Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_sportbrillen_12_13/23 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skihelme_12_13/24 Skicross, park & pipe or backcountry skiing: young adults have a slightly different idea of skiing than their elders. ALPINA’s new GRAP CROSS, the freeride helmet not just for ski crossers, makes for a stylish ride and even higher safety. Thanks to its cult colors it is also an attractive eye-catcher, both on and off the slopes. Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skihelme_12_13/24 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_protektoren_12_13/25 Better safe than sorry: Besides helmets, vests or jackets with back protectors provide the best accident insurance to skiers and snowboarders. For optimum protection, they should fit as snugly as possible while allowing the wearer sufficient freedom to move. JACKET SOFT PROTECTOR II by ALPINA easily meets these requirements. Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_protektoren_12_13/25 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skibrillen_12_13/26 ALPINA proudly presents R-TECH HM as a pair of snow goggles prepared for the minimonitor made by Canadian infotainment specialist Recon. The broadband LCD display can be “clicked” into the goggles’ interior in a matter of seconds to show information such as speed, elevation, GPS coordinates and much more. Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skibrillen_12_13/26 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_sportbrillen_12_13/27 When the weather changes in outdoor sports ALPINA relies on magnets instead of magic. On its new M-TECH 1.0 VL+ shield, small frame-embedded magnets allow the user to change the lenses at lightning speed. The magnets also serve to firmly hold the lenses in place in rough riding conditions – both in summer and winter.

The Swiss ALPINA athlete talked about the new popularity of his sport, his injury and his aims. ALPINA’s CEO Werner Grau commented on his company’s involvement in professional sports.

Panoma Magnetic is the winner of the Plus X Award in the High Quality, Design and Functionality categories.

ALPINA has teamed up with Canadian infotainment specialist “Recon” and the first result of their collaboration is R-TEC: a pair of snow goggles that displays information like speed, elevation, GPS coordinates and much more. The future now sports an informative look. Tue, 01 Feb 2011 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skibrillen_11_12/15 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skibrillen_11_12/10 There are no snow goggles that offer the same vision in sunny and foggy conditions – except for ALPINA's new Panoma Magnetic. In bad weather it uses proven QUATTROFLEX technology. And in fair weather you just click on an extra lens – by means of a magnet. That is why it won the Plus X Award, the world's largest contest for technologies, sport and lifestyle products. The snow goggles were victorious in the categories High Quality, Design and Functionality. Tue, 25 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skibrillen_11_12/10 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skihelme_11_12/5 ALPINA has hit the bull’s eye: Its cheeky beanies – CE-tested ski helmets camouflaged as colorful skull caps featuring five fresh styles – specifically target teens and young adults who seek affordable safety while having oodles of fun on the slopes. Fri, 21 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skihelme_11_12/5 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skihelme_11_12/6 A new helmet, Chief Ten L.E., has joined ALPINA’s team in the 2011/2012 season. Thanks to a high-grade IN-MOLD design with EDGE PROTECT, a ventilation system that can be operated even when wearing gloves, and other compelling internal and external fortes Chief Ten L.E. has got what it takes to take charge and stay in control – not only on the slopes. Fri, 21 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skihelme_11_12/6 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skihelme_11_12/7 Jumping kickers, riding park-and-pipe or fakie: Young guns are re-interpreting the winter sports theme in their own, unique style. Stylish safety comes from Lips 2.0 by ALPINA – the dirt helmet designed for snow. Fri, 21 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skihelme_11_12/7 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_kids_11_12/8 It is great that ski helmets for children and teenagers today are as common place as laptops and cell phones. But besides helmets, back protectors are considered to provide optimal health protection for young skiers. High-grade snow goggles complete ALPINA's safety three-pack for youngsters. Fri, 21 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_kids_11_12/8 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skibrillen_11_12/9 Thanks to their HYBRID-MIRROR lens featuring a coating that is particularly effective at filtering out harmful infrared rays ALPINA's new Cybric HM is the ultimate eyewear for alpine altitudes as well as at the umbrella bar, thanks to its cool looks. Fri, 21 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skibrillen_11_12/9 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_sportbrillen_11_12/11 All good things come back sooner or later. Like Take That or the VW Beetle. Some things do not have to come back because they have never disappeared. Like Nutella hazelnut spread or ALPINA’s Swing. In 1982, it revolutionized the market and established ALPINA’s reputation as an innovative manufacturer of protective products for sports and recreation made in Germany. Now the model of the current year, Swing Fashion, combines classic “Swing elements” with modern high tech.

Die vielfach bewährte QUATTROFLEX-Scheibe konnte mit der VARIOFLEX-Technologie zu einer einzigartigen Einheit kombiniert werden. Das Ergebnis heißt QUATTRO-VARIOFLEX und sorgt für eine immer klare und somit optimale Sicht.

Und das geht so: Fri, 10 Dec 2010 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_protektoren_10_11/2 http://www.press-service.info/alpina-en/article/text_skihelme_10_11/3 ALPINA ist einer der führenden Produzenten für Skihelme. Der Testsieg des Modells Grap beim großen ADAC-Skihelmtest 11/2009 hat dies erneut eindrucksvoll bestätigt. Das Modell SUPER CYBRIC steht dabei an der Spitze der innovativen ALPINA-Skihelmkollektion.

Auf vielfachen Wunsch erscheint nun die neueste Evolutionsstufe dieser Erfolgsbrille als „Oversize“-Modell.
