Carbon construction and supplied equipment
The Roadster3 Carbon is specified with two shell sizes and multi-density internal protection. Carbon is the shell material, not evidence that its fit suits every rider. Try the helmet securely fastened and check the visor opening with any glasses or eye protection you normally use.
A pinned anti-fog insert and helmet bag are listed with this version. Confirm the correct visor and insert combination, and follow the installation instructions rather than substituting a similar-looking insert. Ventilation inlets and a removable washable lining are useful care features; neither establishes a measured temperature or noise result.
Protection and construction
The listed approval is ECE 22.06. Check the exact helmet label and specification for the version you are buying, particularly if you need it for a track event.
Fit and adjustment
The chin-strap fastening is Double-D. Make sure you are comfortable operating that fastening and adjusting it securely before choosing the helmet.
Comfort and everyday use
The interior is removable for cleaning. Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions and refit the pads in their original positions.
Versions and options
The checked listing links to these options: Golden Blue, Full Carbon. Check the selected version and available sizes before ordering; the linked price may apply to a particular option.
