The Fly Racing Formula S Carbon Byte Helmet in Black Carbon/Teal/Lime, size XL, combines advanced impact protection with integrated connected safety technology for street, adventure, and powersports riders. Manufacturer and vendor part number 73-4453X identifies this helmet configuration. It is ECE and DOT approved and features a lightweight 12K carbon fiber shell designed for superior penetration resistance.
Quin® Race Sensor technology uses five scientific-grade sensors to continuously evaluate riding data and automatically detect a crash event. When paired with the Fly Smart App through Bluetooth 5.0, the helmet can record impact data, provide live GPS tracking, monitor speed and acceleration, and calculate a Q-Score. Crash Detection can notify emergency contacts, while the SOS Beacon allows riders to request assistance by tapping the helmet five times. A five-diamond monitoring center can dispatch local emergency services for APEX subscribers.
Protection is supported by RHEON Impact Energy Cells, which help manage low-speed linear and rotational impacts, and Conehead® EPS Technology, which uses a tuned cone structure to absorb impact forces efficiently. Six critical impact zones are optimized for progressive response, while expanded-volume EPS and an EPP chin bar provide additional energy absorption. A dedicated clavicle shell relief zone helps reduce the potential for clavicle injuries. True Functional Ventilation forces air through intake vents, aligned EPS channels, and rear exhaust vents to improve airflow while riding.
The washable, moisture-wicking, antimicrobial comfort liner and quick-release cheek pads support long-term comfort and maintenance. Integrated LED indicators show device status and flash red after a detected crash. The rechargeable battery supports fast charging through Micro USB and can provide up to 60 days of battery life depending on usage, with automatic sleep and wake functions. The helmet includes a premium helmet garage and an extra visor. Fitment is for riders requiring an XL helmet size; verify head measurement and local safety requirements before purchase.
