X-Lite X-1005 Ultra Carbon flip-up full-face
Also available in a composite fibre shell, this is X-Lite's exclusive high-carbon content version of the new X-1005 flip-up helmet.
"Characterised by an elegant and dynamic design, a striking appearance and a wide range of innovative technical features", some of which are proprietary patented concepts, the carbon-rich construction comes in three outer shell sizes, has double P/J homologation, an ultra-wide visor, VPS sunscreen (adjustable in various positions and fitted with Nolan's automatic retraction system), elliptical trajectory rotation of the chin guard, exclusive double action chin guard opening mechanism, double lever Microlock2 retention system with micrometric adjustment, Carbon Fitting Racing Experience inner comfort padding (with an innovative net construction), exclusive Liner Positioning Control (LPC) system and is set up for the new generation N-Com communication system.
"The X-1005 Ultra Carbon is the most exclusive flip-up helmet for the most demanding of motorbike tourists - the dual homologation means 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.
"The large surface of the S/R (Scratch Resistant) visor makes it possible to have a broader lateral view, increasing active safety, and 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 need to remove it. The Full Silicone Border (FSB) allows for an increase in the size of the air chamber located between the helmet exterior and interior - further reducing the risk of fogging and reducing the risk of scratches to the visor."
The removable and fully adjustable moulded Lexan VPS sunscreen is scratch and fog resistant and offers UV protection up to 400 nanometres. It can be easily removed for maintenance and cleaning and is fully adjustable. The patented activation system allows for the automatic retraction of the sunscreen to a standby position.
The "Carbon Fitting Racing Experience" comfort inner padding features active carbon filaments that create a thermoregulatory, antistatic and dissipative element, and the liner features an innovative net construction that aids the movement of air around the upper part of the head.
An "Eyewear Adaptive" system has been designed for the comfort of eyeglass wearers. Subject to version, a patented Microlock2 double-lever retention system with micrometric adjustment consists of a thermoplastic ergonomic opening lever and of a second aluminium toothed holding lever. The toothed lever releases the micrometric strip, thus the chin strap can only be opened with a very broad rotation of the opening lever. This device minimises the possibility of unintentional opening of the retention system.
The helmet is set up for Nolan's award-winning N-COM Communication System and the helmet is approved for use with the N-Com communication system installed (compatible with the N-Com B902 and B601 X series).
The patented Elliptical Trajectory Chin Guard Rotation System has made it possible to keep the total size of the helmet's front section to a minimum when the chin guard is open. The infamous "sail" effect associated with "modular" helmets is therefore greatly reduced, with riding comfort and safety still guaranteed even when the chin guard is lifted.
The X-1005 is fitted with the exclusive and patented Nolan/X-Lite 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 is opened only by operating the first release lever (or safety lock) and then activating the second lever, in sequence.
A patent-pending Liner Positioning System allows for regulating 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.
The helmet has a moulded lining for the internal cheek pads in polystyrene, which allows for more precise fitting of the fabric inner cheek pads, and which also provides the housing for the earphones of the N-Com communication system; removable and washable integrated chin straps (in the cheek pads) improve fit, wearability and soundproofing; the single-piece expanded foam cheek pads are said to create superior even pressure and consistent performance over time. The pads can be removed from the lining for ease of washing.
