BMW MOTORRAD GS RALLYE CARBON HELMET

Quite the title and quite the helmet, this is aimed primarily at the GS rider, but also any adventure rider wanting a high spec lid, and it is not only light, it has the very latest technology inbuilt for safety, comfort and comms. The blend of M-Forge™ Carbon shell, as in a carbon / aramid fibre blend and MIPS Integra TX wraps a super-comfortable liner that can be integrated with BMW’ s ConnectedRide COM P1 GS system that lets you use the bike’ s controller to navigate the intuitive comms system without taking your hands off the‘ bars. The system can mesh with your mates, leapfrogging throughout the group and maximising range.
