Carbon Zero is a new Tech-Series line of carbon fibre helmets by Portuguese manufacturer NEXX featuring new X-Zero technology.
NEXX R&D engineers have been working on their new X-Zero technology for three years and describe it as combining the best of existing helmet manufacturing and construction techniques with new technologies and materials research used in aeronautical engineering and top level sport.

The innovative process is said to have several advantages over traditional methods. NEXX say it gives a shell with "higher technical characteristics benefit gains in terms of reduced weight and improved impact resistance". The balance between carbon and the major technical characteristics introduced by the use of epoxy resin "provides a smoother and rounder surface so, obtaining a better surface finish, there is no need for so many coats of varnish. The result is a light and strong helmet with more efficient use of materials and greater environmental sustainability".
The X.R2 Carbon Zero and the X.T1 Carbon Zero are super light helmets with a weight of 1,300 and 1,350 grams. They are ECE/22-05, DOT and NBR-7471:2001 approved and feature X.MART Dry fabrics. The X.R2's shell is available in two different sizes, has two inlet and four outlet air vents (Air Dynamic System), a soft anti-sweat and anti-allergic fabric inner lining, as well as 3D removable and washable lining. Further features include removable neck padding, anti-noise cheek pads, a chin windstopper, a double D-ring fastening strap and a UV-resistant shell.

The PC Lexan shield is anti-scratch, with a new and easy locking system, the visor comes with a recessed cavity for a Pinlock visor, and the flat visor is prepared for tear-off. There is a visor ventilation system, a removable breath guard, aerodynamic trim and aerodynamic rear spoiler, reflectors on the front, sides and back. The Ergo padding system allows a perfect fit for different head shapes, the Pinlock lens is included and the cheek pads have an emergency strap.
The X.T1 is also Pinlock-ready and has a micro-metric buckle, a panoramic eye port, 3D lining and cheek pads with an emergency strap system. The helmet is prepared for the X-COM - NEXX intercom system, has a removable breath guard and an 80% tint inner sun visor. The PC Lexan shield is clear with a new Block'N'Seal system (with dual resistance visor seal) and features the X-SWIFT quick release system.
Other features are a chin windstopper, night vision reflectors, chin ventilation, six air vents and an aerodynamic shell and trim. The shell is available in three different sizes, has an Ergo padding system and a visor with a recessed cavity for Pinlock.
