Press Release:
If you’re looking for comfort, functionality, style and safety all under one lid, look no further than BMW’s brand new System 6 helmet.
Key features:
• Low weight: 1570 g (smaller shell), 1670 g ( larger shell)
• Extra neck band to prevent the helmet from twisting
• Excellent aero-acoustics
• Chin guard with quadruple-joint mechanism
• Double visor as standard
• Drop-down sun visor
This light helmet is the latest item to be unveiled by BMW Motorrad. In addition to boasting a minimal weight of 1570g for the smaller shell, it is one of the quietest flip-fronts on the market, has a drop down sun visor and pride’s itself on a stylish design. It is smaller and more compact than the System 5 with a cleverly designed chin bar pivot which moves in an elliptical path keeping it close to the helmet shell.
With safety at the forefront of BMW designs, the System 6 is no exception to the rule. It has exceptionally high standards of impact-absorbing qualities and has an extra neck band to prevent the helmet from twisting on impact, ensuring it remains in the best possible position on the rider’s head.
This innovative piece of BMW Rider Equipment also boasts outstanding quality. An anti fog, three dimensionally curved double - glazed visor comes as standard, absorbing 100% of UV radiation and ensuring clear visibility even in poor weather conditions. The helmet also out performs the System 5 in terms of noise control with a mere 86 dB (A) at 100 km/h.
In hot weather the helmet’s design and technical capabilities are sure to keep the rider’s head cool. A large vent at the top of the helmet combined with low-pressure vents in the neck and four air channels in the inner shell, provide significant air-flow. The helmet is also aerodynamically neutral- when the rider turns his head, only slight torsional forces are generated, thanks to exhaustive wind tunnel testing.
BMW Motorrad’s latest Bluetooth Communication System is also available for the System 6.
BMW Parts and Accessories Manager, Dave Alexander said:
“We are extremely pleased to see that the development process of the System 6 Helmet has paid off. Years of effort have gone into producing this piece of BMW Rider Equipment and we are delighted with the end result which is both safe and comfortable.”
The System 6 helmet is priced at £325 in single colours and £355 for the patterned versions. It is now available in BMW Motorrad Dealerships.
