Indian riding gear manufacturer Axor has launched an updated MX Carbon helmet. Built on an improved shell technology from the previous MX Carbon, according to Axor this is the world’s lightest, triple certified helmet with ECE 22.06, ISI and DOT certifications.
- Available in three shell sizes
- Uses a tri-composite shell
Updated Axor MX Carbon has a lighter shell
Pre-orders are open now
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 sizes) 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 in its price range is the KYT Skyhawk. However, it is heavier (1,200g), more expensive (Rs 27,000).
It also only gets ECE 22.05 rating, but does have ISI certification. The next closest competitor is the LS2 MX700 Subverter Evo but that’s not available for purchase anywhere. The helmet is manufactured in India and is available for pre-order now at Rs 20,060 with deliveries starting soon, making the MX Carbon Axor’s most expensive helmet at the moment.
