Riding Safe and Legal: Understanding ECE 22.06 Compliance in Racing
Safety is a priority for every rider, but for competitive racers, it’s also a requirement. The ECE 22.06 standard is one of the most rigorous safety certifications, ensuring helmets provide optimal protection. For riders who want to record their performance, the CamShell X1 offers a solution that’s both compliant and innovative.
What Is ECE 22.06?
ECE 22.06 is the latest European safety standard for helmets, focusing on:
- Rotational Impact Testing: Evaluates helmets for rotational forces to prevent brain injuries.
- Higher Speed Testing: Ensures protection at more severe crash speeds.
- Enhanced Durability: Tests for visor strength and retention systems.
The Problem with External Mounts
External mounts for cameras can cause:
- Structural Weakness: Adhesives and clamps compromise helmet integrity.
- Disqualification: Racing regulations often ban helmets with modifications.
- Aerodynamic Issues: Mounts disrupt airflow and balance.
How CamShell X1 Solves It
- Integrated Camera Design: The built-in compartment is compliant and doesn’t weaken the helmet.
- Race-Legal: Fully meets ECE 22.06 standards, making it ideal for competitive use.
- No Compromise on Safety: Maintains the structural integrity and aerodynamic performance.
