LEVO , the flip-up ( modular ) helmet by Caberg , features " innovative design and avantgarde technical solutions , developed for the most demanding touring riders ". The shell is made of composite fibreglass , with full carbon for the LEVO CARBON version - both in two sizes . Caberg obtained the P / J dual homologation for full-face ( P ) and ' Jet ' ( J ) helmets when the first LEVO designs were introduced in 2018 . The ventilation system offers " optimal comfort even during the most extreme conditions thanks to two front air vents , two rear air extractors and the built-in air flow channels in the design of the EPS inner shell . " LEVO is equipped with a panoramic ultrawide , anti-scratch visor that allows the best field of vision , ensuring maximised visibility in the front part equal to 82 °. The helmet is also equipped with the Pinlock Max Vision lens to avoid misting and a glove-friendly integrated anti-scratch sunshade DVT visor ( Double Visor Tech ). The entirely removable and washable lining is made with " the best available hypoallergenic and transpiring fabrics to grant maximum freshness "; the cheek pads are designed to accommodate glasses , and mic and speaker routing means LEVO is ready to be equipped with the main communication systems on the market ,
including Caberg ' s own JUST SPEAK EVO communicator . The LEVO weighs in at 1,550 g for the small fibreglass shell and 1,450 g for the small carbon shell (+/ - 50 g ). Caberg was founded in Bergamo , northern Italy , in 1974 , with the name Ca-Berg derived from Caschi di Bergamo ( helmets from Bergamo ). The 1974 offer featured two full-face designs ; highlights during its 47- year history are said to include being the first Italian company to develop a then revolutionary flip-up helmet in 1992 .
