Dark Division - style meets safety
Portuguese manufacturer NEXX Helmets' new Dark Division line of premium carbon fibre helmets is described by the company as "mysterious, aggressive and stunningly good looking" with 'Metal Black' being "the new black".
The colour is formulated using 1 part in 50 of aluminium powder, blended with black and dark titanium paint for a unique 'Metal Black' colour "coupled with striking electric yellow lines and the exquisite look of the carbon fibre - making it a winning colour scheme, the epitome of elegance and ready to match with a variety of sport bikes".
In order to maximise the night visibility and security level, both the X.R2 Dark Division and X.WST2 Dark Division include dark retro reflectors, "beautiful and discreet by daylight, this powerful retro reflective material efficiently reflects car and motorcycle lights in the dark, so it can be seen at night".

The outer shell is made with an ultra-lightweight carbon fibre that is said to feature "the latest technological advances used in Aeronautical Engineering and top level sport".
"Two exceptional versions are available: the X.R2 Dark Division for those who are looking for a fast, aerodynamic and sporty looking helmet with spoiler effect on the back, and the X.WST2 Dark Division, a more street version with an integrated drop-down visor and a high-tech militaristic design that is sure to be appreciated by many sport motorcycles fans".
The detailing is undoubtedly exquisite - even the 3D technoflex NEXX logo on the front features patented technology and delivers a refined contrast against the carbon fibre.
The handcrafted interior features a blend of "cut-and-sewn optic leather, sumptuous retro reflective inserts, distinctive yellow stitching, mesh panels and soft touch X.MART DRY fabrics that keep the interior cool, dry and comfortable".
Both helmets come with a visor with recessed cavity for a Pinlock lens, a panoramic eye port, reflectors, X.MART DRY fabrics and soft anti-sweat and anti-allergic fabric inner lining. Other features include a 3D-formed removable and washable pad, chin wind stopper and an aerodynamic shell and rim. They are homologated to ECE/22-05, DOT FMVSS 218 and NBR-7471:2001 standards.
