level of performance on the road and on tracks".

Three sizes of HPC (High Performance Composite)
shell are offered with type-approved scratch and UV
resistant 2D racing visor with quick release and eight
air vents to ensure optimal ventilation.
"A Pinlock lens is included; the GP 550 S is tear-off

removal of the cheek pads in case of emergency."
It weighs in from 1,310 g (+/- 50 g), has double D-
ring retention and removable and washable
hypoallergenic inner lining.
