Protection game is strong
The newest helmet from the South African brand features their in-house developed head and brain injury reduction system, 360° Turbine Technology. Simply put it consists in a number of “turbines” placed under the shell that reduce the rotational acceleration up to a 40% thanks to their movement in a crash scenario. The mentioned turbines also absorb the impact energy to the head and brain by up to 30%, considerably reducing the risk of concussion they say.
To top all that the helmet has a four-density impact foam to mitigate the forces to the head and brain even further as well as a visor with a breakaway point to reduce the forces to the head and neck. Additionally, it has an emergency cheek pad that can be removed to take the helmet off a rider without causing them any further injuries.
Keeping you cool and comfy
The 7.5 Moto Helmet features the same ventilation system found in the top of the range 8.5 and 9.5 helmets and a washable inner liner made of moisture-wicking and anti-odour fabric that helps in keeping your head cool and dry when the sweating starts.
Running your hydro pack’s tube to your helmet is quite common nowadays in enduro and this hasn’t gone unnoticed with a hydration side port with an optional hands-free kit for the drink tube.
