The helmet comes with high-impact ABS shell with an aerodynamic spoiler for stability. It also comes with a silicone-coated dual visor system comprising a clear outer visor and an inner smoked sun visor. According to STUDDS, a specialised anti-fog film has been bonded to the inner face of the visor which resists fogging for 100 seconds, maintaining clear sightlines in cold, humid and wet conditions.

The helmet’s impact liner is constructed from regulated density expanded polystyrene with zones of varying density that is said to distribute and absorb impact energy differently depending on where a collision force is applied. The outer shell is injection moulded from high-impact engineering thermoplastic, selected for its ability to withstand external forces while keeping the overall weight of the helmet in check.

The interior liner uses hypoallergenic material that minimises the risk of skin irritation during extended wear, a consideration for use in hot and humid conditions. The liner is removable and can be swapped out when needed. Dedicated recesses in the cheek pads have been designed to accommodate spectacle arms without creating pressure points for riders who wear glasses to use the helmet comfortable through long rides.
