With the arrival of spring and summer on the horizon, it’s an ideal time to consider a new helmet. Harley-Davidson’s Ultra X16 2-in-1 helmet presents a versatile option, offering both full-face and three-quarter open face configurations. The helmet’s adaptability allows for enhanced protection and comfort, especially in warmer conditions when removing the chin guard.
Key features include a fully retractable, anti-fog face shield, beneficial for cooler weather rides, and compliance with ECE R22.06 safety standards. While it’s not the quietest helmet available, it offers a comfortable fit for long rides. Priced at $487, it provides good value, balancing reasonable noise levels with solid comfort.
The helmet’s ventilation system includes a front vent and perforations in the chin guard for improved airflow. Its removable, washable liner is made from moisture-wicking fabric and accommodates glasses comfortably. Fastening is secured with a reliable double-D ring strap.
Constructed from a thermoplastic shell, the Ultra X16 2-in-1 weighs approximately 1400g with the mask and 1250g without, ensuring a lightweight feel. It’s an affordable helmet that offers more than expected, appealing to Harley-Davidson enthusiasts with its retro design. Available in various sizes and designs, it caters to a wide range of preferences.
