System 6 Helmet just arrived!
The time has finally come: the System 6 helmet has just been introduced. The helmet has seen numerous innovations over the years,
being the consistent continuation of the highly successful BMW Motorrad
folding helmet which dates back to 1981.
This light helmet is fitted with a double visor and –
for the first time – an integrated sun shield, too. This
can be conveniently adjusted to continuously variable
levels using a slider at the left-hand edge of the
helmet.
The design refers to some of the characteristic
features of the predecessor models but applies a new
interpretation. By means of an ingenious four-jointed
mechanism, the folding chin section moves in an
elliptical path and is thus closer to the helmet shell.
This gives the helmet a very attractive look when it is
open, too.
The outer shell in glass fibre reinforced plastic
(GRP) is manufactured in two different sizes. The
matching multi-section inner shell in expanded
polystyrol (EPS) is foam padded in various thicknesses.
This technology allows the best possible impact
absorption to be achieved. Depending on size, the System
6 helmet weighs between 1,570 and 1,670 grams, making
the new model 150 or 50 grams lighter than its
predecessor in spite of the new components “double
visor” and “integrated sun shield”.
The outer visor is three-dimensionally curved, has an
antiscratch coating on both sides and absorbs UV
radiation 100 per cent. The hydrophilic inner visor
offers the best possible antifog protection in damp
weather. In addition, the very effective and closable
visor ventilation ensures clear visibility even in poor
weather conditions.
On hot days, the large vent opening at the top of the
helmet in combination with the low-pressure ventilation
in the neck area ensures easily regulated but highly
efficient cooling. In terms of aerodynamics and
acoustics, too, the System 6 helmet is once again
pioneering: it is aerodynamically neutral and even when
the rider turns his head, only very slight torsional
forces are generated. With a noise level of just 86
dB(A) at100 km/h, the System 6 helmet is one of the
quietest folding helmets on the market.
For the chin strap a quick-release ratchet buckle
which combines the advantages of the double-D fastener
with those of a conventional quick-release buckle. The
integrated neck straps ensure that the helmet remains in
a position which guarantees the best possible protection
in the event of an accident.
The entire inner lining in high-quality Alcantara and Coolmax fabric (DuPont)
can be removed for washing along with the neck and cheek pads available in
various sizes.
The System 6 helmet is of course suitable for the installation of the
optional BMW Motorrad communication system and fulfils all the associated
statutory requirements.
The new System 6 helmet is available in the sizes 48/49 to 64/65 and in
three colours (Night Black non-metallic, Dark Grey matt metallic, White
Silver metallic) and in two decor versions (Cosmic, SharpEdged).
 | BMW Enduro Helmet The new Enduro helmet (R3662 from your local BMW dealer) is built on a lightweight shell of combined fibreglass, carbon fibre and Kevlar for tensile strength and crush resistance.
It has removable and washable head and cheek padding, and a double D-ring chinstrap with an integrated neckband to reduce the possibility of the helmet twisting in the event of an accident
Two adjustable openings in the top of the helmet provide ventilation and the inner is lined with DuPont CoolMax material to ensure moisture wicking and "breathability".
|  | BMW System 5 The fifth generation of the BMW System 5 is designed to be easily converted from a full-face helmet into off-road or open-face versions easily and without special tools. It's ECE-2205 approved with a glass-fibre, carbon and Kevlar outer shell. Chin and neck pads are available in various sizes to help find the perfect fit and a neck strap is included as a secondary fastening.
Ventilation uses BMW's Airflow system, and the interior anti-bacterial and breathable Dupont padding is removable and washable.
A wind tunnel was used to design a helmet that is stable and easier on the neck muscles and the noise levels inside the lid have been drastically reduced. At 100km/h, the noise inside the lid was measured at 86 decibels. The System 5 weighs 1690g, and comes with an anti-scratch and anti-mist visor.

Motorcycle Helmet Tips
When trying on a motorcycle helmet wear it at least 5 minutes and
then take it off. Concentrate on places which start to bother you.
If possible look in a mirror after to see if you have any red marks
on your face.
Check if your selected helmet has anti-scratch and a good anti-fog
treatment. Also look to see that the visor doesn't touch against the
helmet outer shell. This will result in scratches and unclear area
on your visor.
A lighter helmet will of course always be more comfortable than a
heavier version.
Give your chinstrap a quick consideration when checking your
motorcycle helmet (make sure it's not too long and can be tucked
away, so it doesn't keep hitting you on your chin). The strap is
often made of nylon (like a seatbelt).
Ventilation systems are a major cause of noisy helmets. The more
aero-dynamic the motorcycle helmet (and the vents) the less noise
you will have.
The comfort liner adjusts a bite to the form of your head. Generally
motorcycle helmets get more comfortable. But always make sure you do
start with a very good fit.
