State-of-the-art safety technology in a sporty off-road look and perfect communication technology for motorcycling.

The new BMW Motorrad, equipped with numerous safety features, presents itself in a design in a sporty off-road look that matches the BMW GS models
Helmet GS Rallye Carbon.

The helmet shell made of M-Forge™ Carbon carbon/aramid fibre mix makes it particularly light – with the best impact absorption values and optimum safety performance. Thanks to two helmet shell sizes, it is also only as large as actually necessary.

The Multi Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS Integra TX)® reduces the rotational movement of the head in the event of an impact, thus reducing the risk of injury. In the event of an accident, the pull rescue system also allows the cheek pads to be removed without having to remove the helmet.

The inner lining made of premium materials and the efficient ventilation system with top of head ventilation including insect protection and chin section ventilation with dust filter and removable flap for free air supply during off-road driving and driving on hot days ensure maximum functionality and optimum comfort. Other practical features include the removable helmet shield with lateral fixation and self-locking mechanism as well as the infinitely adjustable sun visor.

A specially developed visor mechanism with quick release ensures convenient and fast visor changes. In addition, the new BMW Motorrad GS Rallye Carbon helmet has a visor position specially designed for city traffic. In addition to the factory-fitted visor with Pinlock 120® inner lens, the GS Rallye visor with Pinlock kit offers a choice of different colours and tints. It is available in orange, blue mirrored, silver mirrored as well as clear and tinted. All visors have a scratch-resistant coating.

For an even more intense motorcycle experience, the new BMW Motorrad GS Rallye Carbon helmet can be expanded to include the innovative BMW ConnectedRide COM P1 GS communication system.

With the BMW ConnectedRide COM P1 GS, the latest generation of helmet communication systems can be perfectly integrated into all new GS helmet variants. It can be operated intuitively and graphically optimally with the multicontroller while driving. This means that the rider does not have to take his hands off the handlebars to use his communication system while riding, but can control everything via the multicontroller.

The battery and main unit are located under a back cover and the control panel is integrated into the helmet design in a recess on the left side. The battery and the 2 antennas arranged on the sides are invisible and well protected in the helmet design. In short: a robust, intuitive and optimally integrated system that is perfectly tailored to the needs of GS riders and offers seamless functional integration into the Connectivity Hub.

The BMW ConnectedRide COM P1 GS works with Mesh 2.0 for open and group mesh and offers the highest voice and sound quality thanks to optimised noise reduction and second-generation HD speakers. At the same time, the system meets the high requirements for robustness, which are expected of a GS helmet in particular.
