Product description

Perfection in its fifth generation. The design of the BMW Motorrad System 5 helmet incorporates the latest features in function and design. Once again, the expertise shown by BMW Motorrad in the field of helmet construction has proven to be highly advanced. The System 5 helmet's modern design has been visibly coordinated with the dynamic form and sports language of the BMW Motorrad motorcycle models. It has been subjected to a series of comprehensive tests in the BMW wind tunnel and the results are quite impressive. The aeroacoustically optimised form, the reduction in the amount of openings and edges, and a range of further technical features all come together in a functional and dynamic design, to make the System 5 helmet one of the quietest on the market. The noise level of only 86 dB(A) at 100 km/h is 8-10 dB(A) below that of most other manufacturers. Such a significant reduction in the constant noise level,means that the rider is more concentrated and relaxed, and of course, safer.

Features

The aerodynamics of the System 5 helmet are also on a high level. It remains neutral within the air stream, whatever the head posture, taking the strain of the rider's neck muscles, which is relatively low to start with, thanks to what is a surprisingly low weight for a flip-up helmet of less than 1700 g. The inside has been developed in line with a new norm that has been drawn up to guarantee the highest level of comfort as well as the perfect position for the majority of riders. The additionally available neck and cheek pads are are extremely helpful in this respect. Whatever the type of trip you prefer, you are sure to benefit from added enjoyment. And on the subject of safety, the System 5 helmet is as uncompromising as you would expect. It offers an extraordinarily high level of impact resistance. The inner shell of the helmet is made of EPS (expanded polystyrene) and is divided into eight separate segments. This allows the respective damping parameters to be individually set for each zone (forehead, chin, etc.). The System 5 helmet is homologised in accordance with the European ECE 22-05 norm.

The helmet's can be easily handled with one hand and is readily convertible into a Jet helmet. The extensive range of accessories (such as the various neck and cheek pads, tinted or dual-pane visor) is standard for BMW.
