Info from BMW on System 6 helmet...
Following on from BMW's best-selling System 5 helmet, the System 6 improves on the helmet's already impressive aeroacoustic and aerodynamic credentials. The System 6 provides a highly attractive modern design with a number of advancements including superior size and weight.
The helmet will be available in two shell sizes weighing 1570g (small shell) and 1670g (large shell) - a significant drop in weight from the System 5 helmet. The helmet is constructed from an outer glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) with an impact absorbing inner shell EPS (expanded polystyrene). The interior is made of Alcantara® and DuPont Coolmax® and is all removable and washable.
The chinstrap contains an integrated neckband which prevents the helmet from twisting. This ensures that in the event of an accident the helmet remains in the best possible position to provide maximum protection. Very few helmets on the market incorporate this feature.
An anti-fog double glazed visor comes as standard with the System 6. An in-helmet drop-down sun visor is also included, easily operated by means of a slide control on the side of the helmet.
The aerodynamics of the System 6 are extremely efficient, making it one of the quietest flip-front helmets on the market. The System 6 helmet is also compatible with the BMW Bluetooth Communications System.

That looks nice, very nice
The BMW bluetooth system, is it any good?? Is it speakers and mic in the helmet or is it just a way of linking everything up?

Probably more than we'll want to pay.
I guess have a look at the similar Schuberth helmet and add on £100

Supprisingly not so
I tried both the System 6 and the C3 The fit is slightly different over the forehead. The System 6 comes out on top for my head, glad I tried it. Shame I'll have to waite till March though.
£325.- for plain, £355.- for patterned.
At last this trend for black white & gray flip fronts seems to be coming to an end. 6 years I've been looking for a good quality patterned flip front, when all there was where Black White & Blo*&y gray.
Role on March
