1.How do I take care of my ROOF helmet?

IMPORTANT :

>>> For safe cleaning, never use alcohol or solvent hydrocarbon and glass cleaning products, only clean your helmet with warm water and mild soap. Do not apply any varnish or adhesive.

A well maintained and well used helmet is the assurance of effective protection!

 

#Usage

We take all the necessary care to provide you with high quality and high protection helmets. Once in hand, always make sure that your helmet always gives you this protection.

Thus, if your helmet has fallen, we invite you to replace your helmet with a new helmet to be sure to have effective protection. Shocks can make internal changes that are not necessarily visible to the naked eye.

It is also for this reason that we advise you not to reuse a helmet in 2nd hand.

A crack, a damaged interior or an old helmet cannot guarantee your safety. We invite you to focus on your safety and replace your old helmet with a new one.

It is advisable, between each use, to store the helmet in its specific fabric bag, making sure beforehand that its interior is dry. Do not store the helmet next to a source of heat or UV radiation or in a wet place, or with high thermal amplitudes at the risk of altering the color quality of the paints, the eps system or the inner liner.

Specifically for the BOXER models: in order to optimize the operation and tightness between the visor and the chin bar, it is advisable to store the helmet with the visor closed and the chin bar locked in order to put the foams in place.

 

 #Cleaning

Cleaning your helmet properly will help you preserve its quality.

IMPORTANT: For safe cleaning, never use alcohol or solvent hydrocarbon and glass cleaning products, only clean your helmet with warm water and mild soap. Do not apply any varnish or adhesive.

#RO9 BOXXER / RO9 BOXXER CARBON / RO32 DESMO


Our BOXXER, BOXXER CARBON and DESMO  are equipped with specific locations for installing intercom kit headphones.

IMPORTANT : Just make sure that a microphone with a rod is delivered as standard and not a microphone to stick on the front of the chin strap since they are versatile hemets.

At the bottom of each comfort cheek pad you will find a foam mounted on a velcro. This foam can be removed to obtain more space at the ears and thus position the headphones.

We advise you to position the headphones at the top of the "Y" shape of the chin strap to avoid the cover of the earpeace. You can even slightly slide the earphone under the lining, between shell and lining, for even more comfort, as in the photo of the BOXXER below:

For the ear part, place them in the middle of the comfort cheek pads. To do this, take off the mid-cheek foam, then unclip the cheeks to pass the thread of the headset between the liner and the cheek pads and bring out the headset in the middle of the cheek.

We can then replace the mid-cheek foams or, if we want more space for the ears depending on its morphology, it is possible to completely remove the foams to free space.

COMFORT, FITTING AND COMFORT REPLACEMENT
1.Can we change inside a helmet?

In order to increase the comfort of your headphone you can choose a more or less thick inside according to your body

BUY ON WEBSITE ROOF.FR
1.What you should know to choose the right size of ROOF helmet

First of all, if you have a store near you, we invite you to go there. Your dealer will provide you with quality advice and will be your preferred intermediary with ROOF. You can also try our helmets directly, choose the right size for you and leave immediately.

Some small details for your head measurements and to choose your helmet size:

In principle, your ROOF helmet size corresponds to your head circumference in cm at the forehead (do not "over-tighten" or "over-release" the tape measure during measurement).
Your head should be held in the helmet, without having strong pressure that can lead to discomfort on the road. For our ROOF helmets, we normally recommend to opt for a size 60 if you have just 60.5 cm of head circumference for example. If not, round to the nearest unit.

But it is true that nothing can replace a test to be sure that it suits you, each head having its own morphology.

Specific information RO200 22-05: on the RO200 (E22-05), there are two hulls, the small hull goes up to size 58 and the large hull starts from size 59. The caps are therefore not interchangeable between size 58 and 59.  The size 58 is in the small shell, the cheeks in 58 are therefore already the thinnest for this shell. In addition, this size 58 in this model size " small ", we advise thus those who have 58,5 or + of turn of head to pass on the 59 generally it suits better. It may sometimes be more comfortable to opt for a size 59 in the large shell, or even with cheek pads 59+ (optional, available on the site or ordered from your dealer).

Note that we have adjusted the size 58 for our new RO200 Carbon models in E22-06: there are now 3 sizes of shells for a better fit to your head circumference.

ADDITIONAL COMFORT FOAM

Some helmets like our BOXXER modular have additional foams included in the accessories supplied as standard with these helmets. You can insert/remove these foams in the cap of these helmets to perfect the fit of your ROOF helmet to your head.

COMPATIBLE WITH GLASSES AND INTERCOMS

Also note that all our helmets are predisposed for the glasses and to accommodate the market intercom kits. However, we invite you to try and check the comfort and size in case of very thick frames or a very large intercom kit for example. Depending on the size of your helmet and your head morphology, you may have more or less space and prefer to change to a larger size according to your feeling.

3.ROOF helmets and intercoms

You want a ROOF helmet and you wonder if it is compatible with intercoms?

You are wondering which intercom to choose for your ROOF helmet?

Our answer in one sentence:

All ROOF helmets are compatible with intercoms and you can freely choose your communication kit according to your needs and expectations in terms of intercoms (phone, duo talk, gps connection, style...).

Here are some additional details that may be useful to you:

All our helmets are predisposed to be worn with glasses and to accommodate the market’s intercom kits.

Of course as any helmet on the market, we recommend you to try and check the comfort and size in case of very thick glasses frames or a very voluminous intercom kit for example. Depending on the size of the helmet and the morphology of your head, there may be more or less space and you may prefer to change to a larger size or adjust the inner comfort according to your feeling.

BOXXER 2 / BOXXER 2 CARBON

Regarding the BOXXER 2 or BOXXER 2 CARBON (E22-06), please note that they are Intercom Ready

  • Here is the direct link to the video explaining the  intercom mounting on our Boxxer 2 E22-06https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMcIboQuTmY
  • Small tips, the Boxxer 2 also has a specific housing to accommodate the battery of the Sena 10R (because our teams liked its design and ergonomics that combine so well with our helmet). But you can choose the kit of your choice without problem.

Here are some models of intercom that our teams or fans use with our Boxxer, for example
:  Sena 50S, SENA 10R, Cardo Packtalk Slim etc. But many models are on the market and new ones arrive every year, you have to discover them.

BOXXER / BOXXER CARBON

Our BOXXER and BOXXER CARBON E22-05 are also equipped with specific slots to accommodate the earphones of intercom kits.

Tutorial for the assembly: At the bottom of each comfort cheek, you will find a foam mounted on a velcro. This foam can be removed to give more space at the ears and thus position the earphones. We advise you to position the earphones at the top of the shape of " Y " of the jugular to avoid overlaying the earphone. You can even slide the earphone slightly under the calotin, between shell and calotin for even more comfort.

BOXXER V8

For the BOXER V8, here is an example of intercom assembly tutorial:

  • Remove comfort cheeks by pulling on the two pressures located on each side. The earphones can be inserted into the hole provided for the passage of the chin strap. The earphones can be placed in the headphone slot on the comfort cheeks of the BOXER V8.
  • Then slide the chin strap back into the cheek hole and reattach each cheek to the helmet.
  • Then disassemble the comfort inner lining to pass the wires behind it. The cables connecting to the CPU run over the edge of the shell to join the unit which is attached to the outside side of the helmet.

DESMO

Our DESMO are also compatible with intercom kits. At the bottom of the comfort cheeks of DESMO, where the ears are placed, you will find a triangular foam that is fixed by Velcro.

This foam can be removed to accommodate the earphones of the hands-free kit. Each kit is really different from one model to another, so the tutorial may vary a bit.

But here is for example a tutorial to mount the Sena SMH5 kit on a DESMO. This kit with a microphone mounted on rod and not a system to be glued in the chin strap, we advise you to do so:

  • For the ear piece, place them in the middle of the comfort cheeks.
  • To do this, you must peel off the foam from the middle of the cheek, then unclip the cheeks to pass the thread of the oreillette between the calotin and the cheek and make the oreillette come out in the middle of the cheek.
  • You can replace the foam in the middle of the cheek or, if there is not enough room for the ears, remove the foam completely to free space.

RO200 / RO200 CARBON

Our RO200 et RO200 CARBON are also predisposed to receive an intercom.

In general, the earphones can be placed in the intercom recess.

However, depending on the models of headphones and the size of your headset, you can choose to move the headphones down for better comfort: the placement of the headphones is not limited to the area in the outer shell, You can position the earphones lower, behind the comfort cheeks, if you feel the need. The earpiece will be positioned between the comfort cheek and the shock absorber.

ROADSTER

For the ROADSTER, we recommend the same installation recommendations as our modular BOXXER.

It is also advisable to opt for a microphone with a rod and not a microphone to be stuck on the front of the chin strap, since it is a MASK.

Our ROADSTER are equipped with specific slots to accommodate the earphones of intercom kits. At the bottom of each comfort cheek, you will find a foam mounted on a velcro. This foam can be removed to give more space at the ears and thus position the earphones.

We advise you to position the earphones at the top of the shape of " Y " of the jugular to avoid overlaying the earphone. You can even slide the earphone slightly under the calotin, between shell and calotin for even more comfort.

We hope that all these tutorials and explanations will be useful and help you to easily mount your intercoms on your ROOF helmets.

All our teams are available for any further information on this subject.

Enjoy the ride!
