On the left here, is the helmet’s interior temperature measured in degrees C through a thermometer placed in the top of the helmet. The liner is also meant to be adjustable, to give better fit across a range of different head shapes.Įnough said about this helmet, now let’s see how it actually performs on the road!įirst, just a quick reminder for how we’ve set up our road tests. In addition to this, the liner is also removable and washable. I’m not sure how much of this really makes a difference, but avoiding helmet hair doesn’t sound so bad. But this liner is very comfortable, it’s soft, and it has carbon filaments which are meant to help with temperature control and preventing static. It’s made of X-Lite’s “Carbon fitting racing experience comfort inner padding”, clearly X-Lite like to go for the more descriptive in terms of naming conventions. The liner on this helmet also looks and feels very nice. You’ve also got a nose guard here to help prevent fogging up the visor with the breath. However, and this is very unfortunate, the dark smoke visor is not ECE rated because it doesn’t transmit enough light, so this is really only good for very bright weather. It’s wide and it’ll give you a wide field of view, but it the helmet also comes with a dark Smoke visor in the box, even though it’s called a green visor, as well as being pinlock prepared and in the box, so you can already get kitted out for sunny weather and you can prevent any potential fogginess.

So, with a recommended retail price of about 600 euros, or around 660 US Dollars, let’s take a closer look. When we weighed it, the helmet came in at about 1390 grams in a size M. I don’t know how ultra the carbon in this helmet is, but the shell is made of carbon fiber, which should greatly improve impact resistance and just give you a lighter helmet overall. So, the X-803 RS Ultra Carbon, not only is it a mouthful to say, but it’s X-lite’s new full-face racing helmet meant to replace the previous X-lite the X-803.
