This retro, urban jet helmet goes by the name BAYARD XP-18 S V2. While it may not be a household name for everyone, BAYARD has been developing motorcycle helmets with a strong price-quality ratio since 1970.
The BAYARD XP-18 S V2 jet helmet features a polycarbonate shell—lightweight and compact, with an integrated sun visor as well—bringing the total weight to just 1,100 grams. That’s an excellent figure, even for a lightweight open-face helmet. Given that these helmets are particularly popular in summer, it’s also convenient that you don’t have to search for a separate pair of sunglasses. Simply pull down or push up the sun visor.
The inner lining of the BAYARD XP-18 S V2 jet helmet is removable, making it easy to clean and to maintain. Additionally, all BAYARD helmets are compatible with Bluetooth communication systems, ensuring you can effortlessly receive instructions from your navigation system, smartphone, or other wireless device.
The motorcycle helmet’s edging, high-quality interior lining, and micrometric buckle closure all add to its refined design. And when you consider the price and the fact that it comes with ECE 22.06 certification, it’s clear that this helmet is a solid choice.
Maintenance tips:
- Are you reluctant to disassemble the interior of your helmet in order to wash it? You can also clean the interior without removing it with S100 Helmet Interior Cleaner.
- The outside and the visor of your helmet should be cleaned with S100 Helmet and visor cleaner.
Safety above all! Never ride with a scratched or dull visor. Especially at night, scratches cause blinding reflections of street lights and headlights of oncoming vehicles. This effect is even more pronounced in rainy weather. It is best to replace a worn visor as soon as possible. Planning a long trip? Then don't forget to take a replacement visor with you. Never ride in the dark with a tinted visor.
