Premier launch VYRUS; 5-year
warranty on all helmets from 2018
Brand new from Premier for 2018, this full-face helmet
is for “all those who love long-distance travel but also
like to experience the pleasure and spirit of sports
riding. High quality for high performance - the result of
research by the Premier R&D Department”.
Called VYRUS, it boasts a “cutting edge design and
offers maximum aerodynamic performance without
compromising comfort. Thanks to our detailed study of
aerodynamics, VYRUS is as noiseless as it is possible to
get – ultra quiet – making it ideal for both touring and
sports use”.
Made from a thermo-plastic material that is
highly resistant to impact, with the ability
to dissipate the energy resulting from
any kind of impact, the inner shell is
moulded in variable density EPS to
ensure maximum protection and
absorption. The interior is
available in two different sizes.
The ventilation system involves
three adjustable air vents (one
on the chin and two on the
upper shell) with fresh air
channelled around the inside
before exiting via the adjustable
rear extractor, allowing internal
climate (temperature) tuning.
VYRUS comes complete with an accessory that is said
to increase safety margins during long trips in the sun
- the dark scratch-proof internal
sun shield eliminates the need
for sunglasses, but can
easily be disabled when
entering a tunnel thanks
to an ergonomic lever
located on the lower left
edge of the external shell.
The visor can be replaced
and adjusted without the
use of tools. Injection-
moulded in transparent
polycarbonate, it is 2.2 mm
thick, anti-scratch treated and suitable
for use with the Pinlock anti-fogging system - a Pinlock
lens is provided as standard. It has an external housing
through which the cables for Bluetooth technology can
be routed.
As with all Premier helmets, the interior is in sanitised-
treated, anti-allergenic fabric and fully removable and
washable, while the strap features a rapid-release
fastener for micrometric adjustment. A removable wind
stop and nose guard are included as standard. VYRUS
is homologated according to current standard ECE 22-
05.
As of January 2018, Premier says all its helmets “will
benefit from another important new feature, with
helmet warranty valid for a period of 5 years following
purchase, subject to registration on the Premier
website”.
