Just arrived! A range of exceptionally light Carbon Kevlar Enduro helmets (as light as 1050g) manufactured by Uvex , a world leader in protection equipment for major brands. Also the Black and White, Poly Carbon Kevlar and High Visibility, Orange and Black Poly Carbon Helmets...all by UVEX! Uvex manufacture the BMW Enduro helmet , as well as thier own propriety brand. • Each and every production batch has sacrificial helmets. These units are subjected to an impact attenuation test whereby the helmet drops from a height of 3 m on a special steel anvil. The occurring accelerations on the test head are measured and compared with the permissible limits. • An outer shell made of high impact resistant carbon kevlar compound materials. • The inner shells expanded polystyrene (EPS) is produced with very small tolerances in several densities as a sandwich compound. • Chinstraps are woven on special weaving machines under pre-load and then tested with unique in-house equipment against stringent roll-off criteria. • Helmet buckles employ special polymers like POM ,Zytel and titanium which exceed the highest safety standards. • High speed impact tests according to EN 166 ensures every visor and google lens can withstand a 6 mm steel projectile striking the lens at 45 m/sec (162 km/h). This is over and above the features already mentioned above (Supravison, Makralon , Nano technology etc) • Upon completion every helmet undergoes an extensive quality check. This guarantees that all products are developed to the highest level of quality and safety. • Full European ECE safety certification. • Uvex are(to the best of our knowledge) the only helmet manufacturer that voluntarily submit their helmets to an independent testing laboratory , TUV Rheinland. These tests are over and above the ECE safety certification and are a further substitution that Uvex does not pay lip service to safety.
