![]() I didn’t fit an intercom to this helmet as I think it best suits the dedicated X-Lite Encomp system. They’re filled with foam inserts as standard, which will keep it quieter for people who don’t fit a comm system. Bluetoothīehind the cheek pads, there are recesses for intercom speakers. However, it might be useful for some people who find that the helmet sits at the wrong angle for riding their bike. I didn’t find the need to fiddle around with that in the time that I spent wearing this helmet. If you push it back through again and clip it up, the helmet will be tilted further back on your head. You either pull that belt through more so that a lot of it protrudes from the main liner, and then the helmet will tilt forward on your head. You can get to the foam inside the pads, and then there’s a section in each pad that can be easily trimmed away to make room for the spectacle arms.Ī plastic belt at the back of the neck roll alters the angle of the helmet as it sits on your head. So if you wear glasses and struggle to fit the spectacle arms comfortably, you can modify the cheek pads. The cheek pads are what X-Lite calls eyewear adaptive. It’s incredibly soft and comfy, especially around the top of the head, where it uses a carbon weave to help with moisture management and comfort. The linings are always one of the main strengths of X-Lite’s helmets, and this one is comfortably up to their usual standards. For example, when riding into darkness in a tunnel or something like that. Then it retracts by pushing the button on the front so you can quickly get that visor away when you need to. It clicks as it moves through the gradual steps from top to bottom. The sun visor operates on the switch on the lower left side of the lid. There’s also an internal sun visor, which is treated as fog-free. In addition, the pinlock anti-mist insert covers the vast majority of that surface so that it won’t interfere with your view more than is strictly necessary.Īnother plus with this helmet is that the pin lock is already installed. The inner surface of the visor is very large, which is good for peripheral vision. Even when I was in clumsy mode, I could do it in 20 seconds, and the visor lifting mechanism was slick too.įrom fully open, it has five steps down until it rests on the bottom seal, and then an extra push secures the central tab against the lock on the chin bar. The visor on this helmet is quick-release, and it’s dead easy to change. I’d say riding with it up is something you only want to do at low speeds. That makes it legal to wear this helmet with the chin bar down or locked up. It’s been tested to ECE 2205 as a full-face helmet with the chamber closed and then as an open face locked in the raised position. Nolan Emergency Release System (NERS) increases safety because the cheek pads can be quickly removed.That allows this helmet to have dual homologation. The detachable helmet spoiler reduces air resistance and ensures greater stability at high speeds. The adjustment strap allows the height of the lining, and therefore the position of the helmet, to be adjusted to suit the wearer's head shape. Other features: includes chin curtain, breath guard and Liner Positioning Control system (LPC).Ventilation: Adjustable chin, forehead and top vents with internal air channels.Lining: Carbon Fitting Racing lining, with activated charcoal fibres for excellent breathability plus thermal regulation.Outer shell sizes: 3 (XXS-S,M-L, XL-XXL).Material: Carbon (carbon/fibreglass/Kevlar).Visor: clear, with Pinlock anti-fog visor insert, gold-mirrored visor included free of charge. ![]() This racing helmet gives you all this and more. If you want more comfort, you should go for the X-Lite *X-803 RS Carbon* with Liner Positioning Control system (LPC), which allows you to adjust the height of the helmet precisely to the shape of your head. A suitable Racetrack Setup (RS) with smoked visor and transparent Racetrack Aerodynamic Spoiler (RAS) are of course standard components of a true MotoGP helmet.
