For optimum safety, the helmet has neck straps integrated in the chin straps which are claimed to prevent the helmet from twisting.

The standard visor is three dimensionally curved and offers almost 100 percent UV protection as well as anti-scratch coating.

There’s a low pressure ventilation system in the neck area and forehead offer an effective cooling system, and the removable lining is made from Alacantra and Coolmax.

The Carbon Enduro Helmet is available from all BMW Motorrad dealers. It is priced at £795 and comes in sizes 53 to 64.
