X-Lite 552pure carbon
26 June 2024 by Gareth G
Stunning Finnish and took my Cardo nicely, ear pockets fitted 44mm speaker's, snug fit but not uncomfortable. Visor ratchet system work really well to.
Had a few x-lite carbon helmets but now got an adventure bike so thought I would go for a peak and internal sun visor. Wind noise good and seal from the visor good. Can be a bit tricky to close the visor when fully open due to the peak but you get used to it, internal sun visor tab should be a little bigger. Build quality good and the internals for fitting speakers etc are very good, fitted my Cardo in no time with all the built in wire channels etc. I would have given it 5 but due to the visor being difficult to close and the internal sun visor closure tab should be a little bigger for gloves.
This is the second X-lite helmet that I have owned . My previous one was the X-551 The improved X-552 has certainly raised the bar. The internal visor comes down nice and low and is easy to operate. The visor has a really solid and positive adjustment mechanism. You get a good field of view and the peak is nice and solid with not much vibration. It's not the quietest of helmets but wear earplugs and the noise level is acceptable. Build quality is top notch. The interior padding is very comfortable and adjustable which is great. I'm very pleased with the helmet. Sportsbikeshop staff as usual were very helpful and friendly.

X-Lite X-552 Ultra Carbon is the new high-carbon-content full-face adventure helmet from X-lite. Its off-road look hides a road-going soul that makes it the ideal companion for the motorcyclist who loves riding on both tarmac and dirt roads.
X-lite came into being in 1998. A new brand for a second company and also a real challenge, since the Nolan Group pushed the boundaries of its own experience and know how, and moved into the composite materials sector. In the new special plant for the exclusive production of composite fibre helmets, the most advanced industrial technology goes hand in hand with craftsman's care and skills, which are typically associated with the processing of composite materials.
