Glove-friendly controls with improved grip and function for operating vents and opening the shield on the helmet with riding gloves.

Dual-function chin vent has been re-designed to provide rider with fine controls of the airflow to the visor and the rider.

Updated brow vents increase the cooling airflow right where you need it for improved rider comfort when the going gets tough.

New peak design that improves aerodynamics by cutting through the wind cleanly with less drag which reduces neck strain and increases rider comfort.  The lower peak mounting points have been repositioned above the visor.  This design also makes it easier to remove the shield for cleaning, installing a pin-lock or upgrading to a tinted visor.

Improved quick-release mechanism for the peak utilizing metal threads for a reliable and secure connection. This allows the peak to be removed without using tools for riders wanting to put the helmet into ‘street mode’ for the best aerodynamics and reduced neck strain which is ideal for riding at higher speeds or street touring.

Improved visibility with expanded peripheral range of view and shape that better accommodates glasses.

Meets high standards for safety with both DOT and ECE 22.06 certifications.

Communication system friendly with embossed cavities and recesses for speakers, microphone, and wires.

 

Updated interior with completely redesigned moisture-wicking Coolmax liner that can be washed or replaced to keep the helmet feeling fresh. It’s also equipped with 3-dimensional pre-shaped cheek pads and an F.R.S emergency removal system. The underside of the cheek pads feature reflective panels to help riders be seen in low light conditions.

Cheek pads locked-in with a new lever system to prevent pads from coming loose inadvertently.

Fine tune your fit with the included Ergo Padding System which allows you to customize the fit to the unique shape of your head.

Carbon fiber superiority. Each helmet is crafted to exacting standards using X-PRO Carbon Fiber which provides uniform strength with its precise fiber distribution, all while keeping the weight low.

New styles. The helmet is available in new graphic versions with sexy carbon-fiber reveals in the design and in a painted black or painted white style.

Pin-lock visor insert included to reduce fogging of the shield for maximum visibility when riding in wet environments.

Double-D ring closure for secure fit and maximum safety.

Action camera friendly with mounting locations on both the top and sides of the helmet.

Whether you are riding a Backcountry Discovery Route, exploring the mountains at the Touratech Rally, or quitting your job to go full-time adventure, the Carbon PRO is the top choice for comfort and protection.

Tool-less Design to Transform Helmet Quickly

As ADV touring motorcyclists, we carry around enough tools already. Thankfully, the Aventuro can transform between its three personalities with no tools needed. The simple pods on each side of the helmet that hold the faceshield and sun visor are easily removed without tools. The mechanism stays firmly locked in place, and even after washing out in a sandbox around 50 mph and gently slapping the ground, nothing came loose. The other tool-less fastener is the one on the upper portion of the lid that holds the visor in place.

 The Aventuro Carbon also arrives with an assortment of camera-holding pods that easily attach to these three tool-less fasteners.

 

No Drag Sun Visor

Any motocross-style helmet with a sun visor is culprit to nasty head buffeting. Touratech addressed this with the “NO Drag” sun visor, which features strategically placed openings for wind to rush through it. At normal trail or fire-road speeds, and most posted speed-limit speeds on main roads, this ADV helmet produces barely any head buffeting – especially when the correct windscreen is utilized.

 At higher on-road or highway speeds, as expected some buffeting will occur. The solution is simple—take the visor off.

 The sun visor also features a handy extension in front that, with a simple tug or push, extends the visor about a half inch. This tiny extension helps much when the sun is blaring in your field of vision.

Optimal Ventilation

By default, dual-sport helmets provide great ventilation due to the open-bottom chin bar design. This is not good for cold weather, but the Aventuro Carbon combats this with a removable chin curtain.

 Additional ventilation is welcomed from the chin vent, which is removable to clean the bug-trapping screen behind it, two closable upper vents (top of head), two closable brow vents (for forehead) and two always-open exhaust vents. The brow vents can sometimes be hard to close due to their flush design, but with practice things get easier.

Also, when it’s raining these vents didn’t link a drop, and neither did the faceshield.

Pinlock Faceshield and Viewport

One of my major complaints with any type of motorcycle helmet, especially a dual-sport lid, is the lack of peripheral vision due to a narrow horizontal view. This helmet is not only wide horizontally, it’s also wide vertically, providing optimal vision for riders in many different situations.

 The Touratech Aventuro Carbon also arrives with a Pin-Lock ready and scratch-resistant faceshield, and every helmet includes a clear Pin-Lock. This is the only true way to battle fog; just watch you don’t scratch your Pin-Lock as I have zillions of times due to dumb mistakes like wiping a piece of dust off it with a glove on.

Comfort Issues: None

The inside material of the Aventuro, which is removable for washing days of sweat and dust away, is plush and comfortable on the scalp and skin. One word of caution: never pull the emergency yellow straps built into the cheekpads for emergency removal. This may distort the helmet; instead, learn how to remove them through Touratech’s video.

As for shape, it reminds me of Arai’s “intermediate oval,” which is what most riders have. I never felt any hot spots or discomfort issues due to tightness or looseness—of course that’s in my normal size of medium. Things felt a bit snug when I first put the helmet it on, but this is normal; it takes time for everything to break in. As for the Aventuro, it broke in after about two day-long rides.

Lightweight for added Comfort!

Just as the Aventuro Carbon states, the lid’s shell is built with Carbon Fiber. This construction aids in drastically less weight and more strength over typical helmet shells. The medium—with sun visor and faceshield attached— weighs just over three pounds.

The shell, which fits to size (Medium: 57-58 cm), is DOT and EC 22-05 certified.

 Concluding Thoughts

Designed from Germany’s maddest ADV riders, I didn’t expect anything less from the Aventuro Carbon helmet. Due to its features that were designed by real-world riders, the Aventuro has proven itself over and over the past two years, always excelling in the three criteria of ADV helmet superiority: lightweight, comfort and versatility.

To bad these lids only are recommended to wear for five years. But that’s also a good thing, and gives me an excuse to try the all-new version that’s also modular.
