X-LITE X-1005 Ultra Carbon

X-LITE X-1005 Ultra Carbon (DYAD N-Com 001)

The X-Lite X-1005 Ultra Carbon is the next top-level modular helmet from X-Lite. The new motorcycle helmet comes featuring a substantial redesign in its interior, ventilation, visor mechanism, and design for a sleeker look and improved aerodynamics. With this all new range of technical features should offer a more comfortable touring experience while still bringing you that X-Lite quality.

It will also be coming at a slight and welcome in reduction in price since the new X-1005 Ultra Carbon will be coming with a recommended retail price of about 600 Euros, which is about 20 euros less than its predecessor. At this price point, the helmet will be competing with the Shoei Neotec 2, Schuberth C4 Pro, HJC RPHA 90S Carbon, AGV Sportmodular, and the Shark EVO GT.

FEATURES :

• P/J HOMOLOGATION : The helmet can be used either with the chin guard open (J configuration) or closed (P configuration), as the protective chin guard has passed the homologation tests required by UN/ECE regulations for full-face helmets.
• DUAL ACTION (PATENTED) : Exclusive DUAL ACTION chin guard opening system. Positioned in the centre of the chin guard, it allows for easy, one-handed opening. The dual action opening mechanism reduces the risk of accidental opening: the chin guard can be opened only operating the first release lever (or safety lock) and then activating the second lever.
• CHIN GUARD ROTATION WITH ELLIPTICAL TRAJECTORY : The chin guard rotation movement with elliptical trajectory makes it possible to keep the total size of the helmet’s front section to a minimum, when the chin guard is open. The “sail” effect is consequently highly reduced and riding comfort is still guaranteed, even when the chin guard is lifted.
• ULTRAWIDE VISOR : The large surface of the S/R (Scratch Resistant) visor makes it possible to have a broader view, also lateral, thus highly increasing active safety.
• P/J HOMOLOGATIONPINLOCK® FOG-RESISTANT INNER VISOR : Thanks to the patented adjusting system, the stretch of the Pinlock® inner visor can be adjusted, acting from the exterior of the visor, without the necessity of removing. The Full Silicone Border (FSB), adopted under licence from Pinlock®, allows first of all for an increase in the size of the air chamber located between the helmet exterior and interior, thus further reducing the risk of fogging; secondly, it reduces the risk of scratches to the visor.
• VPS SUNSCREEN : Moulded out of LEXAN™*, it is S/R (Scratch Resistant) and F/R (Fog Resistant) treated and offers UV protection up to 400 nanometres. It can be easily removed for maintenance and cleaning and is fully-adjustable. The activation system (patented) allows for the automatic retraction of the sunscreen in a standby position, thus simplifying emergency manoeuvres required to quickly obtain the maximum level of visibility offered by the visor. * LEXAN™ IS A TRADEMARK OF SABIC
• MICROLOCK2 (PATENTED) : It is a patented double lever retention system with micrometric adjustment. It consists of a thermoplastic ergonomic opening lever, and of a second aluminium toothed and holding lever. The toothed lever releases the micrometric strip, thus the chin strap can only be open with a very broad rotation of the opening lever. This device minimizes the possibility of unintentional opening of the retention system.
• “CARBON FITTING" COMFORT INNER PADDING WITH INNOVATIVE NET CONSTRUCTION : The comfort inner padding is made with active carbon filaments, a thermoregulatory, antistatic and dissipative element. The liner, with an innovative net construction, aids the movement of air around the upper part of the head which thus stays cool and dry.
• LPC - LINER POSITIONING CONTROL : This system, patent pending, allows for the regulating of the position of the liner. This permits the positioning of the same-sized helmet to be adjusted for different heads, consequently adapting to various requirements and head shapes.
• SINGLE-BLOCK CHEEK PADS : The internal padding in expanded foam for the cheek pads has been designed in order to provide superior even pressure and consistent performance over time compared to traditional padding. It can also be removed from its fabric coverings in order to make washing of the latter easier.
• EYEWEAR ADAPTIVE : This system has been designed for the comfort of eyeglass wearers. In a quick and easy way, it allows to obtain a space in the cheek pads for the glasses temples. It is reversible, so the cheek pads can be returned to the initial configuration.To further facilitate the washing, the cheek pads are equipped with expanded foam inner padding which can be taken out from the fabric covering.
• INTEGRATED CHIN STRAPS : Removable and washable, they are integrated in the cheek pads, favouring the helmet’s fit as well as its wearability and soundproofing.
• SET UP FOR N-COM COMMUNICATION SYSTEM : The helmet is ready and approved with the N-Com communication system installed. The system allowing for the installation and the compatible N-Com product itself, have both been designed with the aim of facilitating the assembly of the system into the helmet.
