Drift Evo full-face
Bergamo , Italy based helmet specialist Caberg has added to its full-face line-up for 2021 with an updated Drift Evo range that " raises standards for even the most demanding of sports style riders . This helmet is the result of the experience gained by the company ' s racing department and the riders who wear the Drift Evo in many championships around the world ".
The shell is produced in two sizes that , " together with an innovative inner lining , offer the perfect balance between comfort and fit . The rear spoiler gives a sporty and aggressive look and enhances aerodynamics and reduces turbulence at higher speed . " The cheek pads have been redesigned to offer a closer fit and different sizes can be installed and changed for a custom fit . The quick release visor mechanism allows visor self-adjustment to guarantee a close contact of visor and window beading . A spring double movement prevents manual regulation in order to avoid incoming water or air . The left side visor lever allows a 0.5 cm gap from the beading to avoid or eliminate fogging . When the lever is lifted , the visor is locked to avoid sudden opening during a ride or fall ". Features include a transparent anti-scratch visor , an adjustable Pinlock Max Vision lens and an integrated and adjustable anti-scratch DVT ( Double Visor Tech ) sunshade visor . There is a lower chin guard vent , top vent and rear exhaust . The shell is available in fibreglass or two carbon versions - the Drift Evo Carbon and Drift Evo Carbon Pro . All are equipped with removable and washable lining ( including the chin strap padding ), double D- ring retention and are comms ready - including the new Caberg ' Just Speak Evo ' communications system . In additional news , 26-year-old Italian European Supersport Champion Kevin Manfredi has chosen the Caberg Drift Evo for 2021 .
