From 2011, helmets will feature a new Zylon strip across the top of the visor to enhance protection significantly. The strip, which is 50mm tall across the full width of the visor, overlaps the top 25mm of the visor itself and extends 25mm above the helmet shell edge. The strip adds about 70 grammes to the helmet, but doubles the impact performance of the visor.
