The motorcycle helmet market has always been occupied by carbon fiber, an ultra light material. Major brands have been constantly reducing the weight of helmets. Through the technical innovation of the helmet shell, it seems that the helmets made of carbon fiber materials have become the mainstream choice in the industry. And the concept of "the lighter the better, the lighter the more expensive" has been formed among motorcycle users, but is it really true?
In actual use, this kind of lightweight helmet has brought the riders an imperfect experience. The helmet can not be obedient to the outside, but is affected by the wind speed and constantly moves upward, posing a potential threat to riding. The pursuit of light weight while ignoring the stability and protection of helmets may be a major safety hazard brought about by the Fan Tech era.
Therefore, we can see that some brands have avoided a series of safety problems caused by taking lightweight as the product appeal point when launching new products. For example, AGV recently launched K5 series, whose shell is made of composite fiber and weighs 1390 ± 50g, more than 100g more than the previous carbon fiber helmet standard weight of 1200g. The integrated spoiler design greatly reduces the air flow resistance. The full anti fog design lens is matched with the built-in sunscreen. The lens adopts XQRS (quick disassembly system), which can be quickly disassembled without special tools.
1. Cleaning of helmet interior When the helmet is used for a long time, there will be dirt accumulation and odor in the helmet interior. In this case, it should be cleaned. It is better to use neutral detergent, and better to use shampoo. In order to avoid peculiar smell left by the detergent, its usage should be controlled. Do not use too much force when washing the inside of the helmet. Otherwise, the cushion material will deform and lose its cushioning function. After cleaning, wipe off the water with towel or paper towel and place it in a ventilated place for natural air drying. Do not use a hair dryer. The detachable lining of the permanent helmet solves the problem of cleaning the interior of the helmet.
2. The maintenance of the helmet surface is more likely to be dirty than the interior of the helmet, so wiping the surface is a regular job. When there is a stain on the helmet, first wipe the stain with a damp cloth, and then rub it with wax or polishing wax to make the helmet clean and bright. It can also use helmet specific brightener, with better effect.
3. Maintenance of helmet goggles Since the goggles are transparent devices, special care should be taken when wiping them. When cleaning the goggles, add neutral detergent into the water, scrub with hands, then thoroughly clean with tap water, and then wipe the water with cotton soft cloth or paper towel. Later, the wax or anti-static agent is rubbed on the outer surface of the device, which can reduce the adhesion of dust and speed up the flow of rainwater. The inside of the goggles should be coated with anti fog agent, which plays an important role in reducing fog adhesion at night. Of course, when you put down your goggles and drive in rainy days, you should also pay attention to your breathing method to reduce the fog on the mirror.
