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.
 
Tried on a System 5 at the NEC - but wasn't at all impressed - neither with the feel of it, nor, especially, the looks of it!!

What I did end up buying was a Shoei Multitech flip. Verdict? Fabulous!!

Never had a Shoei before, although my wife has a full-face one that she raves over - I did have an Arai f/f a few years ago - the noisiest helmet I'd ever owned - trouble is, you don't know this until you've handed over the folding stuff!!

The Shoei is really top quality - very impressed - and for £235 a bargain, at least I think so.
