C. THE HELMET
12. SUN VISOR
Sun visor
The sun visor is tinted grey and has a 3D shape. Thanks to the
sun visor's 1.5mm thickness, it provides protection against small
stone chips or insects when riding with the visor up. It is also
scratch-resistant and offers effective UV protection* with
its special polycarbonate structure.
* Tested in accordance with the Australian sunglasses standard AS/NZS 1067:2003 lens
category 3.
Operation
The sun visor is operated by means of the slide positioned on the
left in the chin area, which is easy to use even when wearing
gloves.
Moving the slide towards the back
lowers the sun visor, moving it
forwards retracts the sun visor inside
the inner helmet shell and locks it in
position.
The sun visor can be operated irrespective
of the position of the face shield.
Note:
Only use the slide to operate the sun visor.
Caution:
Never ride in the dark or in conditions of poor visibility with
the sun visor down. Always raise the sun visor before entering
a tunnel

Caution:
Riding without the face shield or with an open face shield
can result in injury to the eyes and face from stones, dust,
insects and other fl ying objects. The sun visor, when lowered,
will offer a certain amount of protection from light impact
from stones or insects but does not provide protection against
all hazards.
REPLACING THE SUN VISOR
The sun visor can be replaced without tools.
Tip:
To avoid fi ngerprints and scratches, use a soft, clean cloth (we
recommend a microfi bre cloth) to hold the sun visor when
removing or installing it.
Tip:
Changing the sun visor is easier when the chin section is
open and locked in place. It is also helpful if you place the
helmet on a fl at surface or on your lap while seated.
Note:
Try to prevent the sun visor coming into contact with the
helmet's inner shell when removing or fi tting it.
Removing the sun visor
1. Open and lock the chin section in
place.
2. Pivot the sun visor down.
3. Bend the middle snap connection
with locating pegs gently outwards
until the sun visor is released from
the visor holder.
4. Repeat this step for the other side.
