This helmet has been designed and created to be a modern, high performing product, able
to satisfy the most demanding requests as for safety and comfort. This is made possible
by the helmet design, its being ergonomic, comfortable, extremely light and aerodynamic
and, last but not least, by its practical and easy-to-use controls.
SAFETY AND NORMS OF USE
• IMPORTANT!
- Before using the helmet read this booklet and all enclosed documents carefully,
in that they contain very important indications on how to use the helmet easily
and safely.
- Failure to observe these instructions may reduce the protection provided by the
helmet and consequently your safety.
• USING THE HELMET
- The helmet has been specifically designed for motorcycle use hence, for any use dif-
ferent from the intended one, equal protection is not guaranteed.
- In case of accident, the helmet represents a protective element, which reduces injuries
and head damage. This notwithstanding, it cannot alone prevent serious and/or fatal
injuries due to the specific accident dynamics, therefore drive carefully.
- When driving any motorcycle, always wear the helmet properly fastened in order to fully
exploit its protection.
- Never wear scarves under the fastening system or caps under the helmet.
- The helmet can muffle traffic noises. However make sure that you can hear essential
sounds such as horns and emergency vehicle sirens.
- Always keep the helmet away from heat sources like the exhaust muffler, the bag seat
or the interior of a vehicle.
- Do not modify nor damage the helmet or part of it for whatsoever reason. Use only orig-
inal accessories and/or spare parts suitable for your specific helmet model.
- Damage resulting from accidental fall may not be visible; helmets, which received vio-
lent impacts, are to be replaced.
- In case of doubt about the helmet integrity and safety, avoid using it and contact an
authorized dealer to let it check.
• CHOOSING THE HELMET
Size:
- In order to determine the correct size, try on helmets of various sizes, and then choose
the one, which fits firmly, but being comfortable.
- Should the helmet be too big, it may slide down covering the eyes or turn slowly to the
side while riding.
- Keep it on for a few minutes and make sure there are no points of extreme pressure
that may cause pain or headache.
Taking off the helmet:
- With the helmet on and the strap well fastened, try to take off the helmet as shown in
the figure (Fig. A). Indeed, in case of accident, the impacts tend to slide off the helmet
from the head.

- The helmet should not rotate nor move on the head and should not slide off. Should
the contrary happen, adjust strap length or change helmet size. Repeat test.
Retention System:
- The retention system (strap) is factory-adjusted at a standard length. Before use,
check that it is correctly pre-adjusted.
- Make sure the strap is properly fastened and tightened so as to keep the helmet firm-
ly in place. Anyway, before riding, make sure that the strap is well fastened under the
chin, as close as possible to the throat, but without being uncomfortable.
- The correct strap tension should allow normal breathing and swallowing, but without
leaving the space of a finger between strap and throat.
- Attention: The "Velcro" part or the button which may be present on the strap only pre-
vent its end from flapping once the strap has been fastened properly.
• VISOR:
- If the visor is damaged or deeply scratched causing reduced visibility, this means that
the protective treatment is probably damaged so the visor is to be replaced.
- Do not paint nor apply stickers.
- The visor can be used only for the intended helmet model.
• MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
- Damage resulting from accidental fall may not be visible; helmets, which received vio-
lent impacts, are to be replaced.
- Attention: Helmet and visor may be seriously damaged by some common substances
without the damage being however visible. Use only lukewarm water and mild soap to
clean helmet and visor, and then let them dry at room temperature away from sunrays
and/or heat sources.
- Attention: Never use petrol, thinner, benzene, solvents nor other chemicals which may:
• Irreparably damage the helmet
• Modify optical properties, reduce mechanical ones and weaken the visor protective
treatment.
