D. THE HELMET
VENTILATION SYSTEM 4 –
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 chan-
nels to the top of the head. The head padding system
inside the helmet allows for direct contact between
the incoming air and the surface of the rider's head,
which in turns allows the heat from the helmet's
interior to be discharged more quickly. To regulate
ventilation, the air inlet cowl is easily operated while
wearing gloves. Push the air inlet cowl back to the
first latch position for partial ventilation. To open the
inlet fully, push the air inlet cowl further back.
Summer and winter adjustment flaps
The ventilation of the E1 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 in autumn/winter you can reduce the
volume of incoming cold air, or divert it, by covering
the ventilation channels with the flaps of the crown
liner. To do so, raise the middle section of the crown
liner slightly and fold out the fabric flaps located
behind the front section.
