EXO-491 full-face helmet: affordable touring for everyone

A premium full-face touring helmet should remain affordable without sacrificing essential features. That is exactly the promise of the EXO-491, which combines everything you expect from a touring helmet in a sleek package at an affordable price.

Its injection-molded polycarbonate shell provides reliable impact resistance and is available in three shell sizes for a precise fit. The scratch-resistant visor is prepared to accept the Pinlock MaxVision lens (sold separately), with a custom fit on the pre-drilled visor ensuring effective anti-fog protection. The Ellip-Tec mechanism allows for quick visor changes in under 10 seconds, with a tight seal against the gasket to maximize waterproofing and reduce noise.

The EXO-491 also features a retractable SpeedView sun visor, a rare feature in this price segment, which effectively protects against direct sunlight without the fear of cold sweats. The KwikWick C interior, which is fully removable and washable, is hypoallergenic and moisture-wicking, ensuring effective moisture management. The KwikFit system makes it easy to fit eyeglass temples, and the ventilation system allows a refreshing airflow through the helmet. It also features an emergency cheek pad removal system and is ECE 22.06 certified.

Comfort and heat management

The moisture-wicking KwikWick C interior lining, combined with the helmet's ventilation system, allows a refreshing airflow to circulate, limiting the sensation of heat even during long summer rides.

Maintenance tips
