Product Questions
Is this the newer ECE 22.06 Race Star DLX Flex?
No. This listing is for the earlier Race Star Tracer certified to ECE 22.05. Specifications and included equipment should not be assumed to match the later DLX model.
Is an ECE 22.05 helmet legal for UK road use?
Yes. UK government guidance accepts helmets meeting UNECE Regulation 22.05, provided the helmet is in safe condition and otherwise complies with the applicable rules.
How should the Race Star fit?
It should feel evenly snug around the head without painful pressure points, and it should not rotate independently when you move it. A performance helmet can feel close-fitting when new, but the correct size and head shape remain essential.
Does the Tracer graphic change the technical specification?
No. Matte Black/Grey Tracer identifies this product's colour and graphic treatment. The technical features listed above apply to the Race Star model.
