THE Metropolitan-1 is said to combine "amazing flexibility and individual design options with maximum safety and optimum comfort" according to German manufacturer Schuberth.
Equipped with integrated speakers and concealed microphones for the latest generation of the optional SRC-System intercom, the clear standard visor can be replaced with optional 40 percent or 80 percent tint versions, visors in a silver or blue mirror finish and a choice of five different sun visors.
The removable visor can be replaced with an accessory peak, available in titanium or matt black. Riders can also choose a top ventilation scoop in titanium (standard) or matt black.
The shell is made of a composite matrix with a weight of just 1,395 g, but despite this low weight Schuberth say the helmet achieved "outstanding" shock absorption figures. EPS in varying degrees of hardness is used for the inner shell "to ensure the best possible fit, comfort and safety".
The multi-piece inner shell incorporates integrated ventilation channels that create a controlled flow of air. The patented A.R.O.S. (Anti-Roll-Off-System) is designed to ensure the helmet remains securely in place in an emergency.
The removable inner lining is said to be the first one ever to be completely seamless, and is antibacterial, breathable and quick-drying.
The optional SRC Communication System allows wireless communication with pillion or other riders features a built-in antenna and includes a hands-free function for mobile phone, music streaming and playback of voice commands from satnavs.
