Indian riding gear manufacturer Axor has launched an updated MX Carbon helmet. Built on improved shell technology over the previous MX Carbon, according to Axor, this is the world’s lightest, triple-certified helmet with ECE 22.06, ISI and DOT certifications.
The updated MX Carbon’s shell is made of a tri-composite (3K carbon fibre, aramid fibre and aerospace-grade fibreglass) to achieve a lighter weight than before. Available in three shell sizes, the MX Carbon weighs 1,040g (±50g depending on the size) and is available in four sizes (M, L, XL and 2XL). Axor also sells another off-road helmet, the Retro Moto X, but it’s not meant to rival the MX Carbon.
The only other off-road helmet closer to its price range is the KYT Skyhawk. However, it is heavier (1,200g) and costs more at Rs 27,000. It also only gets ECE 22.05 and ISI certification. The next-closest competitor is the LS2 MX700 Subverter Evo, but that’s not available for purchase anywhere.
The MX Carbon helmet is manufactured in India and is available for pre-order now at Rs 20,060, making it Axor’s most expensive helmet at the moment. Deliveries for it are set to start soon.
