System 6 helmet
Following on from BMW's best-selling System 5 helmet, the System 6 improves on the helmet's already impressive aeroacoustic and aerodynamic credentials. The System 6 provides a highly attractive modern design with a number of advancements including superior size and weight.
The helmet will be available in two shell sizes weighing 1570g (small shell) and 1670g (large shell) - a significant drop in weight from the System 5 helmet.
The helmet is constructed from an outer glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) with an impact absorbing inner shell EPS (expanded polystyrene). The interior is made of Alcantara® and DuPont Coolmax® and is all removable and washable.
The chinstrap contains an integrated neckband which prevents the helmet from twisting. This ensures that in the event of an accident the helmet remains in the best possible position to provide maximum protection. Very few helmets on the market incorporate this feature.
An anti-fog double glazed visor comes as standard with the System 6. An in-helmet drop-down sun visor is also included, easily operated by means of a slide control on the side of the helmet.
The aerodynamics of the System 6 are extremely efficient, making it one of the quietest flip-front helmets on the market.
The System 6 helmet is also compatible with the BMW Bluetooth Communications System.
Enduro Carbon helmet :drif:
A new carbon version of the current Enduro helmet will be available shortly. Based on the technology used to create the SportIntegral Carbon helmet, the Enduro Carbon helmet will be extremely lightweight, while maintaining maximum rider safety.
The helmet's slim sporty shape, unpainted carbon shell and aerodynamically perfected visor create a superb look and make the perfect enduro accessory. With ECE 22-05 certification the helmet is suitable for use both on and off-road.
The design has been developed using a wind tunnel to create a helmet that is unrivalled in terms of aerodynamic streamlining. This also ensures that wind noise is kept to a minimum, maintaining a safer, more comfortable environment for the wearer.
The helmet is constructed from high-quality carbon with a total weight, including visor and peak, of a mere 1,070 grams for the small helmet shell, or 1,170 grams for the large helmet shell. In addition to being the only carbon enduro helmet with both a visor and peak, it is also the lightest enduro helmet on the market.
The low weight of the helmet is due not only to the carbon and aramide outer shell, but also the impact-absorbing, single-section plastic inner shell or EPS. While it is lightweight the helmet still provides a high level of safety performance.
All inner fittings are made from high-quality Alcantara and Coolmax fabric (DuPont) and can be removed for washing. An efficient ventilation system provides simple but effective climate regulation.
The visor offers almost 100 percent UV radiation absorption with an antiscratch coating. An additional antifog coating and the removable chin spoiler ensure optimum visibility even in damp weather or when used for sport riding. A tinted visor and visor with reflective coating are also available as accessories and are easily fitted with no need for tools.
