Alpina Helmets has launched a new website to keep customers up-to-date with its UK range.

The site, www.alpina-helmets.co.uk, comes complete with the German manufacturer’s 2010 brochure and a list of UK dealers.

Alpina, distributed by Merida, has been a key player in the helmet market for more than 25 years.

The launch comes after tools brand Birzman, also distributed by Merida, unveiled their website, www.birzman.co.uk, earlier this month.

“Due to massive demand for the genuinely unique Birzman trail and workshop tools we felt it important to take the logical step of developing a UK website to support the innumerable Birzman fans out there, said brand manager David Webster.

“The site will be the first port-of-call for all things Birzman, and gives you the low-down on what makes Birzman one of the most exciting brands to hit the UK scene for years.”
