If you’re a sucker for a good blacked-out look—and we’re talking gear, not just motorcycle design—then you might want to consider adding this Nexx lid to your collection. The Portuguese premium helmet maker gives us the X.R2 Dark Division Carbon helmet—a sleek, all-black version of the X.R2 introduced in 2015.

The X.R2 Carbon lid features, as the name suggest, a carbon fiber outer shell, available in two sizes (2XS-LG and XL-3XL). The design integrates the Air Dynamic System that includes five air intakes (three vent and two air curtains) on the front of the lid four air exhausts at the back for optimal air flow. A helmet destined to be used in sportier applications also features a new spoiler design meant to reduce turbulence.

Under the shell, the helmet uses a multiple density EPS (three different layers) for impact absorption, lined with a removable and washable CoolMax 3D lining and the Ergo Padding System that ensures a more universal fit. The helmet is also designed with speaker cutouts to accommodate a comm system.
