EXO-Tech flip-back helmet
Scorpion says that its new EXO-Tech is an
alternative to modular flip-back helmets,
but with a "unique full-face design". The
helmet has a reduced shell size, a chin
opening mechanism, a large upper air
intake easily opened with a tension spring,
"guaranteeing good air flow when the
helmet is in full-face mode". The Pinlock-
ready visor "offers great visibility", while a
large retractable internal sun visor can take
40 mm speakers through a Bluetooth
communication kit.
The helmet's aerodynamic shape reduces
wind noise, with further turbulence
reduction provided by the shell aligning
perfectly with the chin opening when open.
The removable and washable interior is
made from soft 3D foam covered with
hypoallergenic, antimicrobial and
breathable KwikWick III material. An
internal bearing system allows easy
application of most types of glasses.
The weight is 1,700 g (+/- 50 g) and the
helmet is guaranteed for five years. Solid
colour options include black, white, opaque
black and opaque anthracite, with 'Pulse'
and 'Time-Off' graphic options also
available.

engines. They are compatible with Vespa PE, PX and
200 Cosa. EVS Technical Under Gear (TUG) products are built
to enhance overall riding experience. TUG products
feature technical details designed to integrate
seamlessly with protective riding gear for enhanced
mobility and all-day comfort. Soft touch KWIK-DRI
fabrics wick sweat from skin and help regulate core
temperatures.
The perforated fabric of the air mesh impact vest seen
here allows air to flow unimpeded, while still
providing protection from abrasion and sunlight.
Race collar compatible, the reactive memory foam is
soft and pliable in its natural state but hardens when
force is applied to it, providing a protective barrier.
Strategically placed impact pads add an extra layer
of protection in key areas, and for maximum comfort
the under-jersey design uses pliable RMF roost
deflection technology. It is made in compression-fit,
breathable and moisture-wicking mesh and meets
CE 14021 standards.

Polini "Advanced" Vespa
crankshafts
Italian specialist Polini has these "Advanced"
crankshafts available - developed specifically for the
iconic Vespa PE200. They are recommended for all
applications, but Polini says they "deliver their
maximum potential when used with our upgrade
cylinder kit".
They are suitable for street and race engines, with the
connecting rod machined from a solid block of
aluminium alloy to increase its resistance to stresses.
The position of the intake has been modified to
improve engine performance, and the design of the
crankshaft has been optimised to reduce vibrations
- "safe and reliable, this assembly is recommended
for original and tuned engines".
Two versions are available - 57 stroke, as an OE
replacement, and a longer 60 stroke for upgraded

Alpha T for 790 Duke
Chino, California based Yoshimura R&D of America has a new Alpha T slip-
on available for the KTM 790 Duke. Yoshimura's Erick Bartoldus told IDN
that the KTM 790 Duke has been "one of the most anticipated bikes to
come from KTM in years. This parallel twin-engined naked bike is built for
excitement on the streets, and we couldn't wait to see what we could add
to this new orange machine. Known for its racing prowess and its ability
to deliver performance, we developed an Alpha T works finish slip-on for
the new 790. The aesthetics are perfect, and the sound was enhanced
along with the performance. Peak horsepower was increased by as much
as +4% and the Alpha T removes 3 lbs (nearly 1.4 kg) compared to the
stock system".
