“One of the world’s lightest flip fronts”Based near Nice in southern France, the Sifam Group (founded in 1994 by Pierre Manuel) has a fast-growing own brand apparel range that we have featured in IDN recently (S-Line). They are also one of the largest France based distributors with a wide range of famous name and own brand hard parts available from their 3,900 m sq headquarters warehouse.
The S-Line S550 helmet is described as “setting a new standard for quality and price of flip-up helmets. The S550 is mechanically and functionally excellent, approaching high-end segment assets, including the super-ergonomic double screen with sun visor and installed Pinlock system”.
Said to be one of the world’s lightest flip fronts and offered at “an unbeatable price”, Sifam says “it combines low weight with optimal stability. The special shape of the polycarbonate helmet shell and its aerodynamics make it perfectly stable and give the S550 a perfect acoustic”.
Additional features include ventilation via frontal intakes and rear extractors; removable and washable liner; micrometric buckle closure system; air and sound chin protector and removable nose protector. Weighing in at 1,550 grams, it is available from XS to XXL.
