System 6 Helmet
The System 6 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).
 | Arai Profile The Profile's Long Oval interior shape was specifically developed to give the most comfort and best fit for riders with longer, narrower head shapes. Externally, like all Arais, the Profile's shell shape was hand sculpted by Arai craftsmen, not a computer. Then, the hand-formed model is scanned by the most advanced Laser Scanner technology to create a production model with the tightest tolerances in Arai's already legendary history.

The helmet you'd build if you wanted to treat yourself to a dream. Every feature optimized for the conditions, speeds and environment of the real world. A helmet for others' top-of-the-line models to envy.
|  | Arai Vector The Vector came storming out of the box, fast becoming one of Arai's best sellers.

|  | BMW Sport This BMW helmet makes no bones about its racing origins. Its bold lines and dynamic design reflect its excellent aerodynamic performance, and its aerocoustics are similarily outstanding. To ensure optimum fit for all head sizes, the lightweight shell is available in a choice of two sizes. The option of airflow all around the head means that it is one of the best-ventilated helmets on the market, while the liner is made of high-quality moisture-wicking Hydroplus. A practical ratchet lock ensures it can be opened easily even with gloves on, and safety is further enhanced by a neck strap and double visor designed to extend the field of peripheral vision.

|  | Shoei Hornet-DS One of the fastest growing segments of the motorcycling family over the past few years has been the dual sport market. As legal off-road riding areas become harder and harder to find, dual sport riding has been filling the gap for many riders that want the freedom and excitement of riding in the dirt without the headaches of loading their bikes in a truck and driving for hours to find legal off-highway riding areas. With a dual sport bike, any dirt road that a motorcyclist spots in their travels suddenly becomes an opportunity for adventure. Up until now, the dual sport rider was stuck with two options. Most chose to wear an off-road helmet with goggles and fight with a visor that is constantly buffeting in the wind while enduring all the road noise and wind entering the front of the helmet. A few others would endure the stares of other motorists as well as the blinding glare of the sun as they rode with a street helmet aboard their dual sport bikes. Shoei has changed all of this with the introduction of their dual sport specific helmet, the Hornet-DS.
|  | Shoei Multitec The recent popularity of flip up helmets is a clear indication of the market's demand to combine the convenience of an open face helmet with the comfortable, secure feeling of a full face helmet. When Shoei set out to design the new Multitec, we didn't only want to meet our customers' expectations; we wanted to blow them away! The Multitec represents the pinnacle of flip up helmet design and technology.

Combining customer and dealer requests with advanced technology, modern testing practices, and 50 years of helmet-building experience, SHOEI is pleased to deliver the finest sport-touring helmet that money can buy. The all-new, groundbreaking RF-1100–where aggressive styling meets SHOEI’s unrivaled attention to detail, and the evolution of perfection is once again met.

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.
