SAFETY AND NORMS OF USE
IMPORTANT
- Before using the helmet read this booklet
and all enclosed documents carefully,
in that they contain very important
indications on how to use the helmet
easily and safely.
- Failure to observe these instructions
may reduce the protection provided by
the helmet and consequently put your
safety at risk.
USING THE HELMET
- The helmet has been specifically designed
for motorcycle and motorbike use therefo-
re it must not be used for other purposes
(or uses or scopes). Equal protection is not
guaranteed for any use different from the
intended one.
- In case of accident, the helmet
represents a protective element, which
reduces injuries and head damage. This
notwithstanding, it cannot alone prevent
serious and/or fatal injuries due to the
specific accident dynamics, therefore drive
carefully.
- When driving any motorcycle, always
wear the helmet properly fastened in order
to fully exploit its protection.
- Never wear scarves under the fastening
system nor caps of any sort under the
helmet.
- The helmet can muffle traffic noises.
However make sure that you can hear
essential sounds such as horns and
emergency vehicle sirens.
- Always keep the helmet away from heat
sources like the exhaust muffler, the bag
seat or the interior of a vehicle.
- Do not modify nor damage the helmet
or part of it for whatsoever reason. Use
only original accessories and/or spare parts
suitable for your specific helmet model.
- Damage resulting from accidental fall
may not be visible; helmets, which received
violent impacts, are to be replaced.
- In case of doubt about the helmet
integrity and safety, avoid using it and
contact an authorized dealer to let it check.
CHOOSING THE HELMET
SIZE
- In order to determine the correct helmet
size, try on helmets of different sizes and
choose the one which suits best the shape
of your head and which you feel firm once
worn and fastened, thus ensuring a great
comfort.
- Should the helmet be too big, it may slide
down covering the eyes or turn slowly to
the side while riding.
- Keep it on for a few minutes and make
sure there are no points of extreme
pressure that may cause pain or headache.
TAKING OFF THE HELMET
- With the helmet on and the strap securely
fastened, try to take the helmet off as
shown in Fig. A. In case of accident the
different forces at stake and their various
directions may result in helmet rotations or
they may even cause the helmet to slip off
if it is not securely fastened.
- The helmet should not rotate nor move
on the head and should not slide off.
Should the contrary happen, adjust strap
length or change helmet size. Repeat test.
RETENTION SYSTEM
- The retention system (strap) is factory-
adjusted at a standard length. Before use,
check that it is correctly pre-adjusted.
- Make sure the strap is properly fastened
and tightened so as to keep the helmet
firmly in place. Anyway, before riding,
make sure that the strap is well fastened
under the chin, as close as possible to the
throat, but without being uncomfortable.
- The correct strap tension should allow
normal breathing and swallowing, but
without leaving the space of a finger
between strap and throat.
Attention: the button which may be
present on the strap only prevents
its end from flapping once the strap has
been fastened properly.

MAINTENANCE
AND CLEANING
- Damage resulting from accidental
fall may not be visible; helmets, which
received violent impacts, are to be
replaced.
Attention: the helmet can be
seriously damaged by some common
substances with- out the damage being
visible. To clean the helmet, use only
lukewarm water and mild soap; dry at
room temperature, away from direct
sunlight and/or heat sources.
Attention: never use gasoline,
thinner, benzol, solvents or other
chemicals as they may irreparably
damage the helmet irreparably damage

“D-RINGS” RETENTION SYSTEM
Your new helmet is equipped with the D-ring
retention system.
To ensure maximum protection and enjoy the
advantages of the D-ring retention system,
carefully read and follow the instructions on
this label.
In order to prevent improper use of the helmet
and, in particular, to prevent it from being
incorrectly fastened, the ECE 22-05 approval
standard requires that the helmet be put on and
removed without having to unthread the band
completely from the rings.
For this reason, this retention system, which
is only efficient when the band is threaded
correctly in the rings as illustrated in Fig. 1, is
supplied pre-fastened and is conceived in such
a way as to limit closing and opening to simple
adjustments of the tightness of the band.
THEREFORE IT IS SUPPLIED WITH:
- a band end fitted with the male side of a snap
button that prevents the retention system from
opening completely, and once the tightness is
adjusted, prevents it from fluttering when it is
fastened to the female side;
- a red quick release flap that facilitates the
loosening of the retention system.
To put on the helmet:
- Unhook the snap button by pulling on the band
end (see Fig. 2).
- Pull the red quick release flap until the band is
loosened completely without unthreading it from
the rings (see Fig. 3).
- With the help of your thumbs, bring the
pre-fastened chin band towards the forward part
of the helmet so that it does not get in the way
of your face while the helmet is being put on.
- Put on the helmet ensuring that it is the correct
size for you (see the attached instruction leaflet).
- Pull the band end (see Fig. 1) until you feel the
band tightly pressed against your jaw.
- Refasten the snap button on the band end
(see Fig. 2).
- Now try to remove the helmet by taking hold
of it by the rear edge and rotating it forward. The
helmet should remain well fitted on your head
(see the attached instructions). If the helmet
tends to come off your head, pull the chin band
again until the correct pressure is reached and
try again.
TO REMOVE THE HELMET:
- Unhook the snap button by pulling the band
end (see Fig. 2).
- Pull the red quick release flap until the band is
loosened completely without unthreading it from
the rings (see Fig. 3).
- With the help of your thumbs, bring the pre-
fastened chin band towards the front part of the
helmet so that is does not get in the way of your
face and remove the helmet.
WARNING: THE BAND MUST NEVER BE
UNTHREADED FROM THE RINGS.
THE SNAP BUTTON DOES NOT HAVE THE
FUNCTION OF RETAINING THE HELMET.
NEVER PULL THE RED FLAP WHILE DRIVING.
We suggest that you periodically clean the
D-ring release with lukewarm water and neutral
soap.
Do not use solvents. Do not grease.
Tampering with or unforeseen events that may
compromise the working order of the retention
system should not be ruled out. In this event
discontinue use of the helmet.

“CAMEL BAG” ARRANGEMENT
FOR THE HYDRATION SYSTEM
The helmet is designed to facilitate
installation of a hydration system (not
supplied) and fastening its hose. It includes
(Fig. 20):
- a side hose clip “A”, on the “READY FOR
CAMEL BAG” strap, useful for fastening
the hydration system hose;
- a deformable seat “B” on the lower edge
of the inner chin guard for positioning the
end of the hose with the suction valve near
the mouth.
The “READY FOR CAMEL BAG” strap and
the deformable seat “B” are on both sides
of the helmet.
If you do not use a hydration system,
we recommend removing hose clip “A”
(see instructions below) and positioning
the “READY FOR CAMEL BAG” straps
behind the pads of the removable cheek
pads. To do so, pull the bottom part of
the pad of the left cheek pad upwards
to release brackets “C” and “D” from the
corresponding plates between the outer
shell and the polystyrene cheek pad (Fig.
21).
Then place the “CAMEL BAG” strap against
the polystyrene cheek pad (Fig. 22).
Afterwards insert brackets “C” and “D”
in the corresponding plates between the
outer shell and the polystyrene cheek
pad, then press until they are fastened
(Fig. 21).
Repeat these steps with the right cheek
pad.

VENTILATION SYSTEM
The ventilation system of the helmet (Fig.
24) consists of:
UPPER AIR INTAKES:
the two openings located under the peak
capture and channel the air, directing it
dispersion-free in the upper area of the
rider’s head.
FRONT AIR INTAKES:
also with the contribution of the side
conveyors, two openings located under
the peak capture and channel the air,
directing it dispersion-free in the front
area of the rider’s head. Another two
openings are in the front area, near the
sealing edge of the window opening.
CHIN GUARD AIR INTAKE:
provides ventilation in the mouth area
while filtering its content.
AIR EXTRACTORS:
located on the upper rear part of the
helmet, in line with the rear base edge and
on the sides of the helmet so that warm
and stale air can flow out, thus ensuring
optimum comfort inside the helmet.

CHIN GUARD AIR INTAKE
FILTERS
The chin guard air intake is fitted with a fixed
external filter in metal mesh that allows easy
air intake while limiting the entry of insects or
small stones, and a second removable internal
filter assembled in the inner chin guard that
can be removed from its housing to increase
the flow rate of the air intake and/or to be
washed.
19. DISASSEMBLY OF
THE REMOVABLE INTERNAL
FILTER
To remove the removable internal filter, pry
its holding frame towards the inside of the
helmet near the upper right corner of the
frame. Unfasten the holding frame from the
deformable internal chin guard by slipping the
fastening flaps out of the slots on the internal
chin guard.
Completely remove the holding frame from
the chin guard and pull the filter out from its
housing in the internal chin guard.
Then reassemble the filter holding frame on
the internal chin guard by inserting, one by
one, the side and then upper fastening flaps
of the frame in the corresponding slots on
the internal chin guard applying light pressure
above (Fig. 25).
20. ASSEMBLY OF THE
REMOVABLE INTERNAL FILTER
To replace the removable internal filter,
remove its holding frame as explained above,
insert it and place it properly in its housing in
the chin guard. Then reassemble the holding
frame as explained above (Fig. 25).
WARNING: If you wish to use the
helmet without the removable internal
filter, it is recom- mended to always install
the filter holding frame.

SÉCURITÉ ET INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
- Lisez ce manuel et tous les autres documents
inclus avant d’employer votre casque
parce qu’ils contiennent des informations
importantes qui vous aideront à employer
au mieux le casque, en toute sécurité et
simplicité.
- Conformez-vous scrupuleusement aux
indications, sous peine de réduire la protection
garantie par le casque et de compromettre
ainsi votre sécurité.
EMPLOI DU CASQUE
- Ce casque a été expressément conçu pour
l’emploi avec la moto et le cyclomoteur; il ne
doit pas etre utilisé pour d’autres usages (ou
emplois ou fins) puisque, dans de pareils cas, il
ne garantit pas la même protection.
- En cas d’accident, le casque est un élément
de protection qui permet de limiter les
lésions et les dommages à la tête. Malgré
cela, il n’est pas en gré tout seul d’éliminer les
risques de blessures graves et/ou mortelles,
qui dépendent des dynamiques différentes
spécifiques du choc, pour cette raison
conduisez avec prudence.
- Mettez toujours le casque bien fixé pour
conduire la moto, pour faire en sorte que sa
protection soit maximale.
- Ne portez jamais d’écharpes sous le système
de fixation ni n’importe quel type de couvre-
chef sous le casque.
- Le casque peut assourdir les bruits de la
circulation. En tous les cas, veillez toujours à
ce que vous puissiez bien entendre les bruits
nécessaires comme les klaxons et les sirènes
d’alerte.
- Gardez toujours le casque loin de sources
de chaleur, comme par exemple le pot
d’échappement, le logement du coffret ou
l’habitacle d’un moyen de transport.
- Ne modifiez et/ou altérez pas le casque
(même si seulement en partie) pour aucune
raison. Ne montez que les accessoires et/
ou rechanges originaux pour votre modèle
spécifique de casque.
- Les dommages au casque qui sont causés par
des chutes accidentelles ne sont pas toujours
bien visibles, si le casque subit un choc violent
il doit être remplacé.
- En cas de doutes sur l’intégrité et sécurité
du casque, abstenez-vous de l’utiliser et
adressez-vous à un revendeur agrée pour le
faire examiner.
CHOIX DU CASQUE
TAILLE
- Pour trouver la bonne taille, mettez
plusieurs casques aux tailles différentes et
choisissez celui qui s’adapte le mieux à la
conformation de votre tête. Ce casque doit
être parfaitement stable dès que vous le
mettez et convenablement attaché de façon à
garantir un confort optimal.
- Un casque trop grand peut descendre
jusqu’à couvrir les yeux, ou il peut tourner
latéralement pendant la conduite.
- Gardez-le sur la tête pendant quelques
minutes et vérifiez qu’il n’y ait aucune zone
de pression localisée, qui à la longue peut
provoquer des douleurs ou des maux de tête.
ENLÈVEMENT
- Après avoir mis le casque et après avoir
bien attaché la jugulaire, essayez d’enlever
votre casque comme le montre la figure
(Fig. A). En cas d’accident, plusieurs forces ainsi
que les directions de ces forces peuvent en
effet entraîner des rotations du casque, voire
l’enlèvement involontaire de celui-ci de votre
tête si vous ne l’avez pas attaché parfaitement.
- Le casque ne doit pas tourner, bouger
librement sur la tête ou s’enlever. En cas
contraire, réglez la longueur de la jugulaire
ou changez la taille du casque. Répétez à
nouveau l’essai.
SYSTÈME DE FIXATION
- Le système de fixation (jugulaire) est réglé
en série avec une longueur standard; avant
de l’utiliser veillez à ce que le pré-réglage
soit correct.
- Assurez-vous toujours que la jugulaire
soit bien fixée et étroite de façon à tenir
le casque bien immobile sur votre tête. En
tout cas, avant de partir, assurez-vous que la
jugulaire soit bien fixée sous le menton, le plus
arrière possible vers la gorge, mais sans être
inconfortable.
- La tension correcte de la jugulaire doit vous
permettre une respiration et une déglutition
normale, mais sans réussir à faire passer un
doigt entre la jugulaire et la gorge.

FIG. A
ATTENTION: le bouton éventuellement
présent sur la jugulaire n’a que la
fonction d’empêcher le flottement de la
partie terminale de la jugulaire même, après
l’avoir fixée correctement.
ENTRETIEN ET NETTOYAGE
- Les dommages au casque qui sont causés par
des chutes accidentelles ne sont pas toujours
bien visibles, si le casque subit un choc violent
il doit être remplacé.
ATTENTION: le casque peut être
sérieusement endommagé au contact
de certaines substances communes sans que
le dommage ne soit visible. Pour le nettoyage
du casque, utiliser uniquement de l’eau tiède
et du savon neutre ; laisser sécher à tempé-
rature ambiante, à l’abri du soleil et/ou de
toute source de chaleur.
ATTENTION: ne jamais utiliser
d’essence, de diluant, de benzol, de
solvants ou toutes autres substances
chimiques car elles peuvent endommager le
casque de façon irréversible endommager
irrémédiablement le casque.

La visière peut être réglée dans plusieurs
positions en la faisant pivoter vers le haut ou
vers le bas (Fig. 1). Le casque est également
équipé d’une casquette qui peut être réglée
dans trois positions différentes. (Fig. 2A).
ATTENTION: Pour l’utilisation sur
route, la visière doit être réglée dans la
position « 0 » de hauteur maximale (Fig. 1) et
la casquette doit se trouver dans la position
« 0 » d’extension minimale (Fig. 2A).
“D-RINGS” SYSTEME
DE RETENTION
Votre nouveau casque est doté du système
de fixation par anneaux, D-Rings Retention
System. Pour obtenir la plus grande protection et
apprécier les avantages du système de fixation
«D-Rings», lire attentivement les instructions de
cette fiche et s’y conformer.
Le standard d’homologation ECE 22-05 permet
de mettre et d’ôter le casque sans devoir retirer
tout le ruban des anneaux, ce qui prévient
l’usage impropre du casque et évite notamment
que celui-ci ne soit mal attaché. Ce système de
fixation, qui n’est efficace que lorsque le ruban
est correctement introduit dans les anneaux (voir
Fig. 1), est donc fourni pré-bouclé. Il a par ailleurs
été conçu de sorte à limiter les opérations de
fermeture et d’ouverture à de simples réglages
de la tension du ruban.
Il est donc équipé d’:
- un ruban dont l’extrémité de la partie mâle
présente un bouton automatique qui évite non
seulement l’ouverture complète du système de
fixation mais aussi son flottement, après réglage
de la tension, lors de sa fixation sur la partie
femelle;
- une languette rouge d’ouverture rapide qui
facilite l’opération de desserrage du système de
fixation lui-même.
POUR METTRE LE CASQUE :
- Débloquer le bouton automatique en tirant sur
l’extrémité du ruban (voir Fig. 2).
- Tirer la languette rouge d’ouverture rapide
jusqu’à desserrer complètement le ruban sans le
faire sortir des anneaux (voir Fig. 3).
- À l’aide des pouces, amener la jugulaire pré-
bouclée vers l’avant du casque, au moment
d’enfiler ce dernier, de manière à ce qu’elle
n’interfère pas avec le visage.
- S’assurer que la taille du casque est la bonne
au moment de le mettre (voir le manuel
d’instructions en annexe).
- Tirer l’extrémité du ruban (voir Fig. 1) jusqu’à
ce que la jugulaire s’appuie contre la mâchoire.
- Bloquer de nouveau le bouton automatique de
l’extrémité du ruban (voir Fig. 2).
- Essayer à ce point de retirer le casque en
le saisissant par le bord postérieur et en le
faisant tourner vers l’avant. Le casque ne doit
pas bouger (voir le manuel d’instructions en
annexe). Si le casque est lâche, tirer de nouveau
la jugulaire jusqu’à obtenir la bonne pression et
répéter l’essai.
POUR ÔTER LE CASQUE :
- Débloquer le bouton automatique en tirant sur
l’extrémité du ruban (voir Fig. 2).
- Tirer la languette rouge d’ouverture rapide
jusqu’à desserrer complètement le ruban sans le
faire sortir des anneaux (voir Fig. 3).
- À l’aide des pouces, amener la jugulaire pré-
bouclée vers l’avant du casque de manière à
ce qu’elle n’interfère pas avec le visage et ôter
le casque.
ATTENTION: LE RUBAN NE DOIT
JAMAIS SORTIR ENTIÈREMENT DES
ANNEAUX. LA FONCTION DU BOUTON
AUTOMATIQUE N’EST PAS CELLE DE FIXER LE
CASQUE. NE JAMAIS TIRER LA LANGUETTE
ROUGE PENDANT LA CONDUITE. Nous
conseillons un nettoyage périodique du système
de décrochage « D-Rings » avec de l’eau tiède et
du savon neutre. Ne pas utiliser de solvants. Ne
pas lubrifier. Ne pas utiliser le casque en cas
de manipulations ou d’évènements particuliers
pouvant compromettre le bon fonctionnement
du système de fixation.
