f. The helmeT

1. CONFORMANCE TO STANDARDS

The helmet conforms to the DOT 218 Standard. These test standards
guarantee conformity to defined safety requirements in respect of
impact absorption, penetration resistance, lateral rigidity, retention
system and field of vision. These homologations guarantee that you
have approval for the USA and all countries of the European Union as
well as countries which recognize the DOT 218 standard.

Warning:
The helmet has been tested and approved specifically to the
United States DOT 218 Standard and the European ECE-R 22.05
Standard. Therefore you ere allowed to use this helmet as head
protection for motorcycling purposes in the United States and
the European Union. As other countries (and even provinces*)
regulate the use of motorcycle helmets within their border
differently, please be sure to check the laws and regulations of
each country (or province*) prior to entry.
* i.e.: In Canada you are allowed to use a mototrcycle helmet with DOT homolgation
in all provinces except for New Brunswick, British Columbia, Prince Edward Island, and
New Fundland and Labrador. These provinces do have other regulations concerning
approved helmets and required standards.

3. OUTER SHELL

The outer shell of the C3 has an aerodynamically optimal shape
®
and consists of glass fibre reinforced vinylester (GRP) with
polyethylene fibre reinforced layers. The chin section is made of
polycarbonate (Lexan ), a highly developed, particularly impact
®
resistant thermoplastic material for extremely exacting applications.
This structure gives the helmet the high level of strength and rigidity
needed for your protection.*
* The helmet is designed to provide the safety performance required by the United States DOT
218 Standard in combination with the European ECE-R 22.05 Standard.
Warning:
A safety helmet is designed to absorb the effect of only one
impact. The helmet must be replaced after a fall, accident or any
other impact.
Note:
For cleaning instructions see section I.1. (maintenance and care –
Outer shell) of this manual.

4. INNER SHELL

For optimised impact absorption properties, the inner shell of the
helmet consists of several components. Complex multi-segment
foam padding of the main body makes for better absorption
and distribution of impact forces and gives you a high degree of
protection. The large side sections ensure the helmet provides
optimum fit and the greatest comfort.
