Comms ready ‘Uptown’
and ‘Droid’ flip-up
Caberg’s elegant new ‘Uptown’ classic jet style
helmet has been “conceived for the touring world,
while also being ideal for everyday urban use,”
according to the Italian manufacturer.
Available in two 1,150 +/-50gr polycarbonate shell
sizes, two front air vents and rear extractors deliver
excellent ventilation and features include Caberg’s
exclusive Double Visor Tech system with glove-
friendly inner sun visor. The extra wide aerodynamic
outer transparent visor is anti-scratch treated and
prepared to fit the Pinlock lens; lateral ratchets
‘Uptown’
‘Droid’
prevent the visor from rubbing against the shell.
The micrometric buckle makes for safe and easy
adjustments, and a ring means secure attachment of
the helmet to the bike. The removable and washable
lining is made from breathable fabrics and ‘Uptown’
is preset for use with Caberg’s ‘Just Speak S’
Bluetooth wireless communication system, which
allows the rider to communicate with the passenger
and their cellphone, to connect to a GPS system and
to listen to music through an mp3 player or mobile
phone. ‘Just Speak S’ uses the Bluetooth A2DP
profile.
Also seen here is Caberg’s ‘Droid’ flip-up – “a model
with an aggressive look and a distinct identity, with
avantgarde technical solutions for the most
demanding touring riders.”
Available in two 1,550 gr +/- 50 gr polycarbonate
shell sizes, the chin guard has two individually
adjustable air vents to drive air directly to the inner
surface of the visor, avoiding misting even during
extreme weather conditions, according to the
company. The glove-friendly ventilation system has a
wide adjustable front vent and inner air channels and
two additional chin guard vents.
Caberg say they were the first Italian manufacturer
to introduce a flip-up and that the experience gained
has resulted in a design that has received the dual
P/J homologation which, among other benefits for
the stocking dealer and their customers, allows the
helmet to be ridden with the chin guard open thanks
to the lever on the left side of the helmet – when in
the ‘J’ position this lever locks the chin guard in the
fully open position, avoiding accidental closing.
‘Droid’ is also equipped with Caberg’s exclusive
Double Visor Tech system with anti-scratch treated
inner sun visor and anti-scratch/anti-fog clear outer
with Max Vision Pinlock lens.
The ‘Droid’ has an entirely removable and washable
lining and is made with high-grade hypoallergenic
and transpiring fabrics, spectacle-friendly cheek pads
and is Caberg ‘Just Speak S’ comms system ready.
