Anyone thinking of using full-face helmet must consider one the important of it that is the weight. I’m interested in this X-Bon helmet by X-Dot after reading about in the Kapcai magazine December issue.
The greatest thing about it is that it features carbon fiber shell! This is NOT stickers, but actual carbon fiber that is made into the shell of the helmet.
Carbon fiber (CF) are known for its lightweight and super strong construction that exceed the strength of metal. I don’t know the actual weight of this helmet, but CF is definitely something that can help the helmet to become lighter to the rider’s head.
After that, I’m thinking, what about the price? We all know that real CF doesn’t come cheap, but after looking for it inside the X-Dot website I was surprised to see that it priced at RM950. That is just a little bit expensive than the AGV K3 Celebr8 at RM850, but this AGV is not made from CF.
What is more amazing is that X-Dot are now offering Photochromic Visor! What is Photochromic Visor you might ask. It is a technology of the visor plastic or glass that enables it to adjust the darkness of the visor colour automatically. It means that, this visor will be dark when you exposed it to sunlight, and become clear when you use it at night. So, no need to have double visor since that one photochromic visor can be dark or clear by itself.
Good job X-Dot!
