14. VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Ventilation device 1 – face shield setting
The C3 Pro has a face shield that adjusts to several positions.
Depending on your road speed and the tendency of the face
shield to mist up, open the face shield sufficiently wide to stop
it misting up but so that it still protects your eyes from excessive
draft.
Urban position
In its second locking position, the face shield is automatically in
urban position. Air entering through the bottom gap flows over
the inside of the face shield and escapes through the opening at
the top.
Ventilation device 2 – inlet vent in chin area
(face shield ventilation)
To ventilate the face shield, the C3 Pro
is provided with an inlet in the chin
area. Irrespective of riding posture,
around 80-90% of the central
airstream flows directly into this
inlet when open. A deflector ensures
that the air current ventilates the face
shield effectively even at low road
speeds. You can open and close the
inlet by pushing the vent upwards or
downwards.

Ventilation system 3 – head ventilation
There is a large air inlet cowl with a
three-stage adjustable ventilation
system on the top of the helmet shell
for ventilating the top of your head.
Air entering the helmet through this
inlet cowl is directed via channels
to the top of the head. Inside the
helmet, the head padding system
enables direct contact between
incoming air and the surface of the
head, thereby conducting the heat
away from the inside of the helmet
quickly. The ventilation is adjusted
by means of a slide on the air inlet
cowl that is easy to operate even
when wearing gloves. Moving the
slide backwards to the first locking
position produces partial ventilation,
moving it further back opens the air
inlet to its full extent.
Summer and winter adjustment flaps
The ventilation of the C3 Pro can
also be adjusted to suit the seasons,
weather conditions or your personal
preferences. While you will prefer the
cooling air current to flow directly on
to your head in summer,
