Munich — BMW Motorrad has introduced its latest innovation for adventure riders: the GS Rallye Carbon Helmet, specially designed to complement the BMW GS motorcycle range. Combining bold off-road aesthetics with industry-leading safety and functionality, the new helmet sets a new benchmark for rider protection and comfort.

The GS Rallye Carbon helmet features an advanced shell crafted from a lightweight M-Forge™ Carbon and aramid fiber composite. This construction delivers exceptional impact resistance while keeping the helmet weight impressively low. Available in two shell sizes, the helmet is designed to offer a snug, efficient fit without unnecessary bulk.

Safety is a top priority, as demonstrated by the integrated MIPS Integra TX® system, which significantly reduces rotational forces during impacts to lower the risk of brain injuries. For emergency situations, the helmet includes a Pull-Rescue-System, allowing cheek pads to be removed without detaching the helmet.

To ensure maximum comfort in various riding conditions, the helmet incorporates a premium-quality interior and a sophisticated ventilation system. This includes top head vents with insect protection and chin ventilation equipped with a dust filter. A removable front flap enhances airflow during off-road use or hot weather rides.

Additional features include a removable helmet shield with a self-locking side mechanism and an infinitely adjustable sun visor. The helmet also boasts a user-friendly Quick Release visor mechanism, making visor swaps quick and convenient. A special visor setting tailored for city traffic is also included.

BMW offers a variety of Pinlock 120®-compatible visor options in orange, blue mirror, silver mirror, clear, and tinted finishes—all with scratch-resistant coatings for long-lasting clarity.

Further elevating the experience, the helmet is compatible with the BMW ConnectedRide COM P1 GS, a state-of-the-art communication system designed specifically for the GS series. This system integrates seamlessly into the helmet and can be operated via the BMW Multicontroller without taking hands off the handlebars.

Key elements of the communication system—battery, antennas, and control panel—are discreetly built into the helmet’s design. The Mesh 2.0 technology supports both Open and Group Mesh modes, while second-generation HD speakers and enhanced noise suppression ensure crystal-clear audio.

The BMW GS Rallye Carbon Helmet with ConnectedRide COM P1 GS is engineered to meet the highest demands of adventure riding, offering a fusion of safety, performance, and convenience tailored for the modern GS rider.
