Eight new helmets from Givi
Givi Asia has officially launched eight new motorcycle helmets for the Malaysian market this year. Ranging between RM150 and RM990 in price, the range consists of five Italian designs and three local designs. The helmets offered are available in various colours; white, black, silver, and an option with graphics.
“All the helmets we are launching come in a variety of sizes; S, M, L and XL, depending on the model. Among these new releases is a helmet designed specifically for children. We hope that this will encourage parents who regularly have their children aboard their motorcycle, to be more proactive about safety. With such a broad selection of helmets our aim is to ensure that every individual motorcyclist is securely protected,” said Mr. On Hai Swee, Managing Director of Givi Asia Sdn Bhd.
Emphasizing the company’s stance in promoting usage of helmets of the correct size, Mr On said, “In Asia you often find items listed as ‘free size’. This is all well and good when it comes to purchasing cheap clothing/fashion accessories for yourself but for anything which plays a part in ensuring safety and protection; such as helmets, it is absolutely crucial that you buy the best fit for you. You can’t afford to compromise when it comes to safeguarding your life. What sets our helmets apart from others available to the Malaysian market is that each one is available in a variety of sizes and has been designed to be a blend of safety and style – not a cheap accessory produced just to comply with the law.”
The line-up of helmets launched are as follows:
Modular X.01 Comfort (Italy)
Lighter than most modular helmets, the X.01 Comfort includes removable summer and winter chin rests, caps for the jet version and anti-fog spray and anti-scratch visor. Double homologation enables the X.01 to be used without the chin rest. The ventilation system is available with three frontal air systems, two superior sides, one on the base of the chin rest and two rear extractors. Available in white, black and with racing graphics.
Fullface H 40.2 GT (Italy)
Designed for sport tourer owners in mind, the H 40.2 GT has a tri-composite fibre shell (fibre, carbon, Kevlar) with a ventilation system consisting of three air inlets and two air extractors. The helmet comes with a standard anti-scratch smoked sun visor (with an optional 75% smoked version), removable nose cover which prevents fogging and removable wind protector integrated in the chin guard. Available in white, black, with racing graphics and black demo graphics.
X.08 Modular (Italy)
The X.08 is a ‘flip-up’ type helmet, and it can be raised with one hand just by the operation of a central button on the chin rest. The visor can be opened independently and both the main anti-scratch and internal sun visors can be removed without the aid of tools thanks to Givi’s new bayonet system. It is double homologated both for use in jet and full face versions. Air ventilation is enhanced by chin rest vents; two at the front and an extractor at the rear. Available in white and black.
Jet X.07 (Italy)
The X.07 features a thermoplastic material shell, extra padding in the cheek area of the inners for a better facial fit. The aerodynamic shaping of the visor prevents turbulence under the chin and in conjunction with the enhanced inner padding, is said to contribute to a quieter ride. The new sun visor is also more protective for the eyes. Available in silver and matt black.
HPS Junior (Italy)
Designed specifically for children, the HPS Junior is light and can be personalized with PVC adhesives. The unique thermoplastic shell and chin strap with micrometric adjustment offers two sizes in one helmet. The rapid lock/unlock belt system designed for easy use by children. Available in white only.
M10.0 (Asia)
This urban jet helmet provides constant air flow with a ventilation system that uses one frontal vent and four air extractors on the shell. It features a double visor (internal smoked sun visor and transparent anti-scratch visor), anti-allergenic inners that are removable and washable and a quick release strap with micrometric adjuster. Available in silver with & without graphic and black with & without graphic.
M11.0 (Asia)
The M11.0 is essentially similar to the M10.0, but with a slightly different ventilation system that uses two frontal vents and three air extractors on the shell. Available in gun metal with & without graphic and solid white with & without graphic.
HPS 10.4 Roma (Asia)
Launched in 2009, the HPS 10.4 has been updated with two brand new graphic designs. Available in pearl white, solid white with graphics, matt black, metallic black with graphics, gun metal and metallic silver.
