• Aero Blade with Injected Carbon: additional component to reinforce the structure and improve aerodynamics thanks to the material reinforced with carbon fibres, it is particularly sturdy and lightweight at the same time
• Acti Cage: allows larger ventilation openings combined with high stability thanks to foamed-in structural reinforcement
• Forced Air Cooling: the ventilation openings are connected to each other via channels on the inside to guide incoming air through the helmet and thus ensure maximum air circulation and a pleasant head climate
• Lower edge protection: polycarbonate (PC) outer shell covers the lower edge of the helmet and protects against scratches, impacts and signs of wear and tear
• Zoom Spin adjustment system: rotary wheel at the back of the head for individual adjustment of the helmet to the head size
• Ponytail Fit: thanks to the opening in the height-adjustable adjustment system, the helmet is also suitable for long hairstyles such as ponytails, buns, or braids
• Front Eyewear Port: defined recess on the front of the helmet to position glasses in a secure and aerodynamic holding position while riding
• Floating Pad: padding on the inside of the helmet, which is clicked into place via several attachment points, making it more flexible and offering better ventilation and greater wear comfort
• Removable, washable pads: can be removed and washed by hand or replaced if necessary
• Flow Straps Pro: aerodynamic straps for low flow resistance, less noise and high wear comfort the upper section is slightly thinner to minimise the contact surface on the skin

• In-mould process: production process in which the inner cushioning material made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) is foamed directly into the outer shell made of polycarbonate (PC) this creates a durable and robust connection
