C. 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.

VENTILATION DEVICE 5 –
INTERIOR AIR EXTRACTION
The E1 is equipped with an innovative air
extraction system. Fresh air flowing in
through the head vent is directed via the air
channels in the inner shell to the back of the
helmet. The reduced pressure that prevails at
the back of the helmet ensures that the air is
constantly sucked out through the air vents
and special netting material fitted to the neck
pad, thus guaranteeing a pleasant climate
inside the helmet.
VENTILATION DEVICE 6 – MINIMUM
LEVEL OF FRESH AIR
The special shaping of the top of the chin vent
provides the helmet with a guaranteed minimum
ventilation function that ensures a constant supply
of fresh air. The air entering in this way is regulated
so that the rider barely notices it, but it provides an
effective supply of fresh air from a speed as low as
30 kph (provided the helmet is positioned fully in the
air flow when travelling). This function counteracts
any build-up of mist on the visor and any excessive
concentration of CO , even when the helmet is fully

closed.
