Carbon X is a light, efficient helmet in two versions, jet and full-face. It has EN 1385 certification for canoeing and other water sports. Read more...
Its outer shell in carbon provides excellent levels of lightness and safety, along with a fantastic appearance. This makes it a good choice for other sports in which lightness is an important consideration, such as parachuting, paragliding, street luge and similar pursuits for which a specific certification is not required. Carbon X is a modern development of another Icaro2000 helmet, Cut3, that was very successful in years past. Of course the new helmet incorporates all the benefits offered by the latest technology and our advanced design expertise.
Full carbon
The outer shell is in carbon fibre, a material that offers the best possible combination of lightness and strength.
Two versions, jet and full-face
The jet version is lighter and ensures the greatest possible visibility. The full-face version offers even greater protection by means of the chin guard.
Very light
While not making any compromises on safety, we have dedicated special attention to saving weight in all parts of the helmet, making it a good choice for water sports, parachuting and paragliding.
Certification EN 1385 for water sports
It is also ideal for many other sports in which a specific certification is not required, such as street luge.
Carbon X’s stylish lines are the result of design by Ignazio Bernardi in collaboration with Felice Manzoni, Italy’s most prestigious helmet development company.
The outer shell is 226 mm width, the total lenght of the integral helmet is mm 328
Carbon X is made in full carbon, tough and light.
Carbon is the most prestigious material for a helmet's outer shell, lighter and offering a higher performance when compared to polycarbonate and fibreglass. Carbon fibre offers optimum shell strength for greater safety particularly in high-speed impacts, and in fact Carbon X is a helmet constructed with the same technology used in military applications. The lower weight of the helmet reduces neck strain and whiplash potential and so also contributes to safety. These tangible benefits are enhanced by the unique appearance of carbon that makes Carbon X a spectacular, eye-catching object, with no need for extra graphics: the beautiful fibre texture and its unique colour make it attractive in itself.
The inner shell in expanded polystyrene plays a fundamental role in terms of shock-absorbency.
In Carbon X this layer is very thick, xxx mm, with density xxx g/cm3, enabling it to pass the stringent tests required for EN 1385 certification. These include the shock absorption tests, in which the deceleration is measured for impact with flat and kerbstone (corner) surfaces, and penetration tests with a pointed cone.
