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 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. The visor for the X-803 is actually giving you some great options there. The liner will also help out a little bit there. So the X-lite X803 RS Ultra Carbon gives you some good versatility here. Adding the smaller spoiler in the box gives you the possibility to ride in a Sport-Touring position. The deep channels in the EPS shell carry a lot of cool air into the shell and extract the warm air via the spoiler at the back. And you can really feel this when wearing the helmet. The aerodynamics of this helmet is very-high end. If we look in the back, then you can see the air come out the exhausts in the back there.
You’re also getting two more adjustable vents at the top of the head. When you ride, the brow vents on the XLite X803 RS Ultra Carbon really enable you to feel the cool wind on the forehead which is very comfortable. So, you’ve got an adjustable vent in the chin and the brow. Ventilationįor ventilation, you’re getting similar options to the previous X-lite helmets. Mid-Range helmets usually come in 3 or even 2 shell sizes. Suppose you have a size L, then you will have the same shell size as a size XXL which isn’t too great. The more shell sizes, the more compact the helmet is. This is okay but you can see that its competitors have 4 shell sizes. You can also see that the chin has been made longer to give you more space and comfort. This spoiler is also removable and can be replaced by the smaller spoiler which you will find in the box as well. One of the biggest difference between the X803 and the X-Lite X803 RS Ultra Carbon Full-Face Helmet is the large spoiler in the rear, which’ll provide stability at higher speeds. It was tested in a wind tunnel, which is a characteristic of a quality helmet. Another nice feature is the aerodynamics of this helmet. This results in a very lightweight shell. A great advantage of carbon is that you need less material to reach the same strength as glass fiber.

Apart from that, the lid sports a plain exposed carbon look with a glossy finishing coat plus burgundy strikes on the helmet’s vents and logos. Let’s also not forget its status as a FIM-homologated helmet too.Īptly, in this form, the X-Lite X-803 RS Iridium Edition sees its centrepiece, by which we mean the iridium visor, do most of the styling work. The RS in the X-803’s nameplate stands for “Racetrack Setup,” and this claim is solidly backed by the work X-Lite has put in, specifically in terms of aerodynamics, weight, and ventilation especially for use during a full tuck, hard braking, or high-speed elbow-down cornering. This iridium visor-equipped edition is a play on the gold and silver editions that the Nolan-owned brand launched prior, with all three again adding an iridium lens to the existing dark smoke and clear visor flavours present.
