{"product_id":"mt-helmets-atom-2-sv-pure-a1-matt-black-helmet","title":"MT-Helmets Atom 2 SV Pure A1 Flip-Up Helmet – Matt Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eMatt black is the version that lets the shell's structure show — the chin-bar seam, the rear spoiler and the pivot covers read as geometry rather than as reflections, which on a modular helmet is a lot of visible hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA chin guard that opens — and the P\/J question\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The distinction worth understanding before buying any flip-up. „P\" is the full-face protective category, „J\" the open-face one. A helmet holding \u003cstrong\u003eboth\u003c\/strong\u003e has been tested and approved in both positions and may legally be ridden open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMT publishes ECE 22.06 and DOT for the Atom 2 SV and does not state P\/J. We are not going to imply a certification we cannot document.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the matt black finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA flip-up carries more visible joints than any other helmet type, and gloss draws a highlight along every one of them. Matt shows the outline instead, which pulls the shell together visually. Practically, a flat finish absorbs the handling a touring helmet gets — opened at every stop, carried by the chin bar, set down on tank bags. 🔵 The trade is conspicuity, on a helmet bought for long distances on unfamiliar roads. Matt also holds dry dust more visibly than gloss, and it is washed rather than polished — there is nothing to buff a mark out of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHIRP, ECE 22.06 and DOT\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 What a thermoplastic shell means in practice: it is injection-moulded rather than laid up by hand, which makes it cheaper to produce and heavier than a composite of equal strength. On a modular helmet the difference matters more, because the format already carries a weight penalty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt around 1.7 kg the Atom 2 SV is typical for a thermoplastic flip-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMT-ESP — a sun visor that meets the nose deflector\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 How far a sun visor drops decides whether it is useful. One that stops short leaves a bright band at exactly the height a low sun sits — which on a westbound evening road is the only place it matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMT's \u003cstrong\u003eExtended Sunvisor Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e programme is the answer, and on this helmet the shield lines up with the nose deflector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMT-FSOS, MT-ESLS and the Pinlock in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The automatic anti-fog position is the feature you will use most on a winter commute. Rather than holding the visor open with a gloved thumb, one movement puts it in a defined cracked position that clears the mist and stays there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn top of that, a \u003cstrong\u003ePinlock DKS512\u003c\/strong\u003e lens is supplied — unusually, at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe double-hook closure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 A double-hook engagement is the specification worth having on a modular helmet. A ratchet with a single shallow hook can be worked loose by a glove or a luggage strap; a double-hook design is considerably harder to release by accident.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMT calls it \u003cstrong\u003eMT-MDTC\u003c\/strong\u003e, within the MT-Micrometric+ family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA spoiler that hides the exhaust\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 A visor ventilation position is worth more than a vent count on a modular helmet. Cracking the visor into a defined position moves far more air than any intake, and it is instantly reversible when the weather turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMT-ESLS provides that position; MT-FSOS provides a separate anti-fog crack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior, fit and the chin curtain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The supplied \u003cstrong\u003echin curtain\u003c\/strong\u003e is the single most effective thing you can fit for noise, because most perceived helmet noise enters from below the chin bar rather than around the visor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes out without tools in summer if you prefer the airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIntercom preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Check your speakers against the recesses before committing. Diameter is the number everyone quotes; depth is the one that decides whether a speaker presses on your ear over a six-hour day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Atom 2 SV is intercom-ready; the system itself is a separate purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it sits in MT's range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Against MT's own full-face helmets the trade is convenience against weight. The \u003cstrong\u003eThunder 4 R SV\u003c\/strong\u003e is around 200 g lighter and cannot open at a stop; this one can, and charges you for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are HIRP shells; only the Atom 2 SV adds DOT approval alongside ECE 22.06.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen something wears out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 On a flip-up there is one extra item to inspect annually: the chin-guard pivot and its seals. Dust and water are what seize a modular mechanism, and a seized hinge ends the helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything else — visor, lens, lining, cheek pads, chin curtain — is a replaceable part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMT Atom 2 SV helmet — Pure A1 (HIRP shell)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear \u003cstrong\u003eMT-V-35\u003c\/strong\u003e visor, fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePinlock® DKS512\u003c\/strong\u003e anti-fog lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChin curtain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🔵 No intercom — the helmet is intercom-ready; the system is a separate purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead circumference\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53–54 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55–56 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e57–58 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e59–60 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e61–62 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXXL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63–64 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eModel\u003c\/em\u003e — MT-Helmets Atom 2 SV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePart number\u003c\/em\u003e — 133500PA1203\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eColour\u003c\/em\u003e — Pure A1 — Matt black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eHomologation\u003c\/em\u003e — \u003cstrong\u003eECE 22.06\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eDOT\u003c\/strong\u003e; MT states the helmet exceeds both\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e🔴 P\/J dual homologation\u003c\/em\u003e — \u003cstrong\u003enot documented by MT.\u003c\/strong\u003e P\/J is what makes riding with the chin guard raised legal in most of Europe — check the approval label on the helmet before relying on it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e🔴 Safety rating\u003c\/em\u003e — none — SHARP has never listed the Atom 2 SV, and modular helmets are rarely tested by the programme.
