As a streetfighter fan, I am also a big fan of unique helmets. For years I have drooled over some of the sweet "Jet" style helmets and fancy full-face helmets that our brothers across the pond have had access to. Well Finally, we get our moment to shine. The amazing folks over at WebBikeWorld have posted a very thorough review of Givi's X.01 modular helmet.
I think this is such a great idea for a helmet. The flip-up "modular" helmets I've seen seem to me to have made too many compromises to do the whole flip-up thing. The X.01 looks pretty amazing.
From WBW:
Why is the X.01 different? It is a true modular helmet in every sense of the word. I'm not talking about a "flip-up" helmet, which is sometimes called a modular helmet but isn't modular at all.
The word "modular" is defined as "capable of being easily joined to or arranged with other parts or units", so if you want a true modular, the X.01 is it. In fact, Givi calls it a "Modul-Air" system. Get it?
As I stated in my Gmax review, living in Florida means that you need a cool helmet if you don't want to hard-boil your brains. Well it looks like this helmet is as good as a full-face helmet is ever going to get.
