PRO GuIDe 'Devil' touring full-face helmet The new 'Devil' from Premier Helmets is a touring full- face helmet designed and developed for long-distance riding inspired by the world of racing. The visor has been extended by 11% to provide a larger visual range than previous Premier models and in addition to an anti-scratch polycarbonate visor, the helmet is equipped with a small internal dark retractable visor that allows optimum riding in any weather and light. It is activated with a lever on the shell's left side. To avoid fogging, it is provided with a Pinlock lens. Another detail is the visor closing mechanism, which is on the chin protection like on racing helmets, making the helmet safer and noiseless even at higher speeds, according to Premier. The ventilation system is composed of three elements: a wide air vent on the front side and one on the chin protection, allowing best ventilation both in the upper and lower part, while the extractor on the rear ensures exit of hot air keeping the interior cool. The "Advanced Padding System", a kit included in the package, enables the rider to customise the interior for a comfortable fit. The interior, completely removable and washable, has had sanitised treatment to make it hypoallergenic, and internal paddings are placed to leave enough space for glasses thanks to the Easy-Fit system. The 'Devil' has a micrometric strap that allows LSL 'Gonia' crash pads The original LSL crash pad design has rightly become regarded as a classic fall protector configuration. However, LSL's Jochen Schmitz-Linkweiler says that the ongoing development of modern motorcycles and their associated edgier design mean that such a design cannot stand still - a correspondingly "sharper drawn" product design is called for. The new 'Gonia' crash pads are "characterised by straight lines and the dynamics of the motorcycle," says Jochen. "The central shock-absorbing element is, as with our classic crash pads, a plastic insert embedded in the aluminium shell. "The rising contour of the crash pad head provides space effectively preventing roadway jumps when hitting manhole covers and other such surface obstructions. Just as accurately drawn as the outer shell, the black insert of the pad looks like a skid and keeps the motorcycle sliding in the FK Visors compatible with Momo Helmets The popular and respected FK Visors programme was created as a brand of Forbikes S.r.l., a leading Italian accessory vendor, and is one of the leading independent motorcycle helmet visor producers.

The inner shell is made of EPS, a particular pressed polystyrene that is put in several layers at different density so there is a very good performance in case of a crash, distributing energy uniformly. The outer shell is made using two different mould sizes from carbon aramidic fibre combined with last generation epoxy resin, so the shell is lightweight, but at the same time elastic and extremely crash resistant. The helmet is available in two carbon variants, both polished and opaque, and in three graphics (Gran Tourism, Predator, Electra) in different colours in a total of thirteen variants, with monochromatic versions in polished white and opaque black also available. It has ECE 22.05 certification, and all helmets of the Premier collection benefit from a 5-year warranty following purchase, subject to registration on their website.

The plastic absorbs the impact and brakes the speed of the vehicle with its coefficient of friction. In light slides it is only the plastic that gets scratched and that can be easily replaced.
