The big manufacturers will pamper us with numerous brand new models in the coming year. Models already known from last year are also getting some updates, but of a more visual nature. This article focuses on completely newly introduced models. There are new helmets from the manufacturers Arai, Bell, Caberg, HJC, Nolan, Quin, Scorpion, Schuberth, Shoei, Skully and X-Lite.
Arai brings new jet helmet
Arai SZ-R VAS
The new Arai SZ-R VAS will be launched in 2019 with a new visor mechanism. With the help of the so-called “Variable access system” the attachment of the visor has been moved downwards, which should better protect the head in the upper area of the helmet. The ventilation channels on the top of the helmet have also been adopted from the Arai top model RX-7V. The front inner pads are also waterproof. Loudspeakers are planned to be installed inside the helmet. Optionally, the visor can be upgraded with a sun shield. The new SZ-R VAS is available in sizes XS to XXL. Prices start at a whopping 600 euros.
manufacturer
The SZ-R VAS is one of three new helmets from Arai.
Arai Profile-V
The new Profile-V should represent the entry into the world of Arai. The full-face helmet will be available in sizes XS to XXL in 2019. Arai has not yet named a price. This is also the case with Profile-V “Variable access system” for use. Arai equips the newcomer with numerous ventilation elements. A new locking system is used for the visor, which was adapted from the helmets of the Formula 1 drivers. The inner lining is removable and can therefore be cleaned easily. Arai opted for the double-D system for the chin fastener.
Arai Urban-V
Another newcomer is the Arai Urban-V. Unlike the previously presented SZ-R VAS, the open face helmet comes without a visor. Otherwise, the Urban-V has a more classic look. The shape is less aerodynamic than that of the SZ-R VAS. It is available in sizes XS to XXL. The jet helmet is currently not listed on Arai’s German website. In this respect, it is not yet clear whether and when the helmet will come to Germany and how much it could cost in this country.
Bell brings a new full-face helmet with a retro look
Bell Eliminator / Carbon
Bell remains true to its line and is bringing another full-face helmet in a retro look in 2019. Visually is the new one Bell not quite as conspicuous as the popular Bell Bullit. Nevertheless, the Eliminator should also find its fans. The holes on the top of the helmet are particularly noticeable. Incidentally, these can be covered with the help of a plastic part. This should also have the effect that air should be transported into the helmet from behind. Bell opted for the double-D system for the closure. According to the manufacturer, the full-face helmet should weigh around 1,500 grams. It will be available in sizes XS to XXXL. Prices start at around 400 euros. There will also be a carbon version of the helmet, which will cost around 600 euros.
Caberg Tourmax is coming in 2019
Caberg Tourmax
An enduro flip-up helmet with double homologation P / J – safely open and closed. The helmet is equipped with a scratch-resistant sun visor and a scratch-resistant, clear visor with pinlock. The Just-Speak-S communication system can be retrofitted. Matte black, matte metal, white metal and two colored versions are offered. Price: 279.99 euros.
HJC – four new models and Batman decor
HJC I 70
After six years and half a million copies sold, the successor to the IS-17, the I 70, is in the starting blocks. More compact helmet shells, a larger visor, integrated sun visor with a new operating system and wider goggle channels are just a few of the features. Price from 199.90 euros.
manufacturer
The HJC I 70 is the successor to the IS-17.
HJC I 50
The new HJC I 50 was primarily designed for use on the off-road route. The extended screen should keep out disturbing sunlight and also protect against dirt and stone chips. The chin section was designed to be extra large, which should have a positive effect on breathing comfort. A glasses strap guide and nine air openings are also on board. The new HJC off-road helmet will initially be available in five different designs. Cost: from 179.90 euros.
HJC C 70 and HJC C 90
Also new are the full-face helmet HJC C 70 and the flip-up helmet HJC C 90. Both helmets are further developments of earlier models. They are supposed to be the entry point to the flip-up and full-face helmets from HJC and are therefore priced at a more affordable level. The C 90 is available from 149.90 euros. If you want to call the C 70 your own, you have to invest at least 179.90 euros.
New helmets from the Marvel and DC universes
HJC fans can also look forward to some new designs from the Marvel and DC universes. New features include helmets in Batman and Flash designs.
Nolan and X-Lite
Nolan N70-2X and Nolan N70-2GT
Nolan describes the two newcomers as so-called crossover system helmets. The two new Nolan helmets are aimed at touring riders who want to convert their helmet into a jet helmet in just a few simple steps, for example for use in the city. Both helmets are based on the Nolan N43 Air, which is very popular thanks to its modular design. Visually, the X version is more reminiscent of an off-road helmet than the GT.
manufacturer
The new X-903 is also available as a carbon version.
There are also differences between the two helmets in the front area. Nolan equips the X with a removable chin part. The helmet consists of a total of four modules: helmet shell, chin guard, shield and visor. All four components can be freely combined with one another, so that drivers can choose between eight application options. The GT has four different configuration options. A multi-stage adjustable sun visor is on board with both new Nolan helmets. The inner lining is removable. The adjustable neck pad is also removable.
Both new helmets are available in two outer shell sizes. The two newcomers are therefore available in sizes XXS to XXXL. Cost point: between 259.99 euros to 364.99 euros for the Nolan N70-2GT and between 289.99 euros to 389.99 euros for the Nolan N70-2X.
X-Lite X-903 / Ultra Carbon
The new Supertouring helmet X-903 impresses with two innovations: a magnet-assisted visor assembly and a height-adjustable interior – so the fit can be better adapted to your own head shape. The ultra-carbon version, which is available in ten designs, offers both. It also pleases with its lower weight: the carbon fiber version saves up to 110 grams. Different designs, sizes XXS to 3XL. Plain colors 459.99 euros, decor variants from 549.99 euros, ultra-carbon version from 529.99 euros.
Quin SpitFire Nero
Quin became famous with a cardboard bicycle helmet. Without cardboard, but with innovative features, motorcycle helmets are now also available: thanks to speakers and Bluetooth, they can be connected to the smartphone, and they also offer an automatic emergency call system in the event of a fall. Including shipping to Germany, the ECE-approved Quin SpitFire Nero will cost around 350 euros.
Scorpion with three new models
Scorpion EXO R1 Air
The Exo R1 Air is one of three new Scorpion models for 2019. The rather sporty-looking full-face helmet is available in three outer shell sizes, XS to M, L and XL. With the help of a small pump, the cheek pads can be adjusted, which should have a positive effect on the fit. The inner lining is removable and therefore easy to clean. A heavily tinted visor, together with a clear visor, is part of the basic equipment. When weight is there Scorpion 1,250 grams (size M). The R1 Air is closed using a double-D system. It will be available from December at a price of 369.90 euros.
manufacturer
Also new for 2019: the Scorpion EXR R1 Air.
Scorpion EXO Tech
The Exo Tech modular helmet is also new. Similar to the new R1 Air, the inner lining of the EXO Tech is removable. A sun visor is integrated. Scorpion opted for a micrometric ratchet solution for the closure. It will be available in sizes XS to XXXL. Prices start at just under 270 euros.
Scorpion VX-16 Air
Last but not least, Scorpion will bring a new cross helmet in 2019. The VX-16 Air is available in two shell sizes (XS to M and L to XXL). The side cheek pads can also be adjusted here using a pump. The inner lining is removable. The VX-16 Air is closed with a double D-ring lock. A strap holder is designed to prevent glasses from slipping. Prices start at around 130 euros.
Improved version of the Schuberth C4
Schuberth C4 Pro
The predecessor C4 is now followed by the improved Pro version and should do a lot well: Completely new fit, completely new interior, improved finish of the collar and significantly reduced wind noise. The flip-up helmet comes with an extra large lens, pinlock and sun visor. Seamless upholstery and glasses channels should contribute to the pleasant wearing comfort. Numerous color variants, sizes XS – 3XL, from 599 euros.
Shoei brings new sports touring helmet
Shoei GT Air 2
The new sports touring helmet from Shoei Efficient against impacts, the styrofoam core with different degrees of damping offer optimal protection. Compared to its predecessor, a larger sun visor and a new visor notch position have been installed. The Shoei GT Air 2 is prepared for the Sena SRL 2 communication system. Sizes XS – XXL, from 499 euros.
Skully Fenix AR finally available?
Skully Fenix AR
In 2019 it could actually be so far: the Skully Fenix AR with head-up display should finally be available. Pre-orderers have been waiting for the delivery of the modern motorcycle helmet for years because of problems in production and a change in the top management (we reported in detail about the course).
According to the new owners of Skully Technologies, pre-orders have been supplied since November 2018. In addition, the Skully Fenix AR can now be ordered on the official website. The helmet is listed on the website for a price of $ 1,899.
