Roof International

Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2023 , French helmet manufacturer Roof is also marking 30 years of evolution for its original ' Roadster ' helmet design . Looking back , Claude Morin ' s original design can now be seen as both avant garde and timeless - certainly it was ahead of its time as the first motorcycle helmet to feature both a pilot visor and a removable mast that could be attached to the shell . These days we ' d refer to Morin as having been a " disruptor " and the innovation of his design ideas continue to be felt 30 years later . For 2023 , the new ' Roadster ' iteration is still setting standards and trends - with a patented magnetic locking device for the mask . The fiberglass shell has a top lip seal , adjustable cheek pads and inner linings , antibacterial , ventilated and Quick Dry fabric , Venturi effect face and top closable air vent and a whole host of features that would been unheard of 30 years ago - which shows how far we have all come in three decades , and how far Claude Morin has come in that time . ' BOXXER ' is the contemporary heir of Roof International ' s iconic ' BOXER V8 ' modular helmet . " A high-quality composite fiberglass shell and a light and ventilated fabric complement the patented technologies - such as the reversible lip seal , the single-handed automatic locking and sequential unlocking chinbar , high-end comfort and silent lining , and active and passive defog . " The ' BOXXER ' carries double certification as a Jet
and full face helmet , has optimised aerodynamics in the Jet position , Venturi airvents and weighs just 1600 grams . Launched in 2020 , the E22.06 RO200 Carbon is now offered in three shell sizes and is still said to be the lightest racing full face on the market at only 1130 g
' Roadster '
fully equipped for the small shell - inclusive of Pinlock lens , windguard , noseguard - only 1070 g without the accessories . Even the large shell is only 1200 g , fully equipped . Finally , the new E22.06 certified intercom ready ' Suzuka ' from Roof International is offered in three multi-composite carbon shell sizes for a " comfortable , ultra-light and high protection level " helmet that has a 5-density , patented EPS for optimum protection . Features include ventilated , breathable , antibacterial and Quick Drying fabric ; fully removable , adjustable and washable silent comfort lining ; very wide field of vision ( horizontal : 210 ° and vertical : 100 °); top Venturi effect air vents ; six air intakes and two rear extractors ; patented dual function airbox for the ventilation of the face or visor ; optimised aerodynamics for high speed ; ultra-fast visor removal system ; EXITISY Emergency cheeks pads removal system and silicon lip seal for the visor and carbon side plates .
