Product Description
Vemar VTXE Alkon Helmet
  • The VTXE features a mid oval shell shape which offers a more generous fit front to back and more snug fit ear to ear. The cheek pads are designed to perfectly follow the shape of the riders face and are molded from a proprietary material that has more memory then the foam used by the competitors, and consequently they are able to maintain their shape longer.
  • The exterior shell is constructed of a lightweight yet incredibly strong carbon fiber – aramidic – fiberglass blend. Exterior shell is aerodynamically shaped for ease of cutting through the air with less buffeting and wind noise, thus lessening the stress on the rider’s neck muscles after a long ride. Three sizes of outer shells cover the 8 helmet sizes for the ultimate in a light weight yet proportional fit. The VTXE features a double density high impact inner shell.
  • An anti-fog, non-scratch 2.2mm thick quick release clear shield is standard.
  • The VTXE visor mechanism has two key features. It is very easy and smooth to open and close while at the same time being very secure on the helmet in the event of a crash resulting in increased rider safety.
  • Removable and washable ultra plush non-deformable high density expanded polyurethane inner liner. Inner liner is manufactured from a technical fiber that provides life-long treatment against odor, fungus and bacteria, and extraordinary wicking capabilities that result in enhanced rider comfort. Chin and top of head ventilation system.
  • Padded chin strap with a micro adjustable closure buckle for fantastic comfort, easy operation and maximum safety. Padded wind deflector and removable breath deflector in the chin piece. Chin and top of head ventilation system. A fine screen is in the chin vent for insect protection.
  • A medium VTXE helmet weighs only 1520 grams or 3.3 pounds.
  • High quality, hand laid graphics under a thick layer of UV protective clear coating. Every Vemar helmet comes with a high quality helmet bag and a detailed user guide.
  • Five (5) year warrantee from manufacturing date, which equates to the full usable life of the helmet. DOT certified.

Ben Bryant Philadelphia,  PA Dubious Quality It's a beautiful helmet and fits well, but the top air vent doesn't close easily and the mouth ventilation needed to be removed and the holes actually poked through. There's not enough ventilation anyway. If they resolved these minor quality and ventilation issues the helmet would be perfect. It's comfortable on the cheeks, which is a major problem with full face helmets, the visor works properly, and the unique chin strap design is ideal. I'd buy it again, but not if I lived in a hot climate.

Arthur Pappas Vancouver,  BC VTXE Review PROS - chin strap securing mechanism makes putting on or removing the helmet very quick, even with gloves on. This makes it very handy for couriers or people that like to stop & take pictures & need to handle SLR cameras, etc - build quality is right up there with Shoei/Arai/etc - quiet - good quality visor - included 2nd smoked visor (never used so far) - visor retention system - fantastic liner CONS - does not flow much air, but it's still spring so... - top vent difficult to open/close - visor sometimes rattles when turned away from 12 O'clock position (relative to bike) if at anything other than the full open position - visor tends to not stay open if at anything other than the full open position

Ed Mission Viejo,  CA Thumbs up Italians! The Vemar VTXE is a great helmet. I took a chance ordering on-line for size and fit but I have no regrets at all. For my oval shaped head the fit is perfect. No more hot spot forehead after a long ride. IMO it is as comfortable as any $500+ helmet. The helmet is extremely quiet and provides excellent airflow. The shield release mechanism and chin strap buckle are easy to use, even with full fingered gloves. Although a small flaw, the only criticism I have is the graphics on the back of the helmet are not centered, about an 1/8" off, possibly due to placing a standard size graphics on a small helmet shell. Otherwise, the overall fit and quality is excellent.
