    C. THE HELMET 6. AERODYNAMICS Wind noise is low with the R2 BASIC, both for race-riding and during long touring rides. The R2 BASIC produces practically no uplift even at speed. Note: Please note that the strong eddy currents that can occur as a result of the fairing on faired motorcycles may have a significant effect on the aerodynamic characteristics of a helmet.
  • Page 9 Note: With faired motorcycles, strong eddy currents occur at the edges of the wind shadow. These may significantly reduce the aeroacoustic performance of the helmet. The motorcycle fairing should be adjusted so that the turbulence created does not strike the bottom surface of the helmet.

    9. RETENTION SYSTEM The restraint system of the R2 BASIC consists of the chinstrap. For helmet sizes up to and including 54/55, a neckband is also available in the neck area. CHIN STRAP WITH DOUBLE-D-FASTENING The double-D-fastener allows for an easy and precise adjustment of the chin strap.

  • Page 16 C. THE HELMET If the anti-fog lens is not air-tight and the face shield mists up, either the visor is not correctly in place or the pressure on the seal is inadequate. You can regulate the pressure on the seal by adjusting the eccentric locking pins. To do so, remove the anti-fog lens, then use a flat object with no sharpedges to push the locking pins out of the face shield carefully from the inside;...
  • Page 17 When removing or fitting the anti-fog lens, it is always best to lay the face shield unit on a clean, dry cloth. Note: Due to the high air pressure caused while riding with an open visor, we generally recommend closing the visor to prevent dirt and moisture from getting in.
