RO200 - dual size multi-composite shell
Last year saw French manufacturer Roof Helmets launch its RO200 CARBON. It was very well received by the press at EICMA and announced as the "lightest weight racing full-face helmet in the world".
For 2021 Roof is taking the same technologies as seen on the CARBON - the sporty design and the safety and comfort features - and is releasing a new version of the RO200 made from fibreglass and weighing it at just 1,280 g or 1,370 g (subject to size). Roof says this is also the lightest full-face helmet in its class and it comes as standard with an additional DAYNIGHT Pinlock ready visor and a 100% MAX VISION Pinlock lens.

Features include many patents from the shell to the EPS and the visor articulation mechanism, chinstrap anchors and air vents. The EPS is a 5-density technology to optimise energy dissipation, with a ventilated, breathable, antibacterial and quick drying, sound absorbing and fully removable, adjustable and washable lining fabric.
The RO200 has a very wide field of vision - horizontal is 210° and vertical is 100° (measured on size 58); there are top venturi effect air vents and six air intakes and two extractors in total; a patented dual function airbox for the ventilation of the face or of the visor, depending on the user’s needs - just the one air intake for the two tasks.

There is an ultra-fast visor removing system and a specific (keychain) tool comes as standard with the helmet and the visor is very secure to reduce neck rotation. It features emergency cheek pads removal, has optimised aerodynamics, a silicon lip seal for the visor and the side plates for a perfect sealing, is glasses and comms ready, has an aluminium Double-D chinstrap and wind guard and nose guard as standard.
Also seen here, the BOXXER CARBON CAGE is a 1,000 helmet limited edition with a 100% exposed carbon shell, "accentuated by a cage of carbon cells that evokes the premium specifications of this limited edition".
Additional features include leather added to the inner lining and an additional iridium silver visor, exclusive packaging and a foldable backpack.
