{"product_id":"mt-helmets-track-sv-questor-b9-matt-sand-helmet","title":"MT-Helmets Track SV Questor B9 Adventure Helmet – Matt Sand","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Track SV is the only helmet MT Helmets makes that carries an independent safety rating. SHARP — the UK Department for Transport's testing programme — gives it four stars out of five. Questor B9 is that helmet in matt sand and khaki, with a peak, and it is the one we would point an adventure rider at first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat four SHARP stars actually means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSHARP buys helmets anonymously at retail and destroys 32 of each model across seven impact sites at three speeds, then publishes a rating from one to five. It is not a pass mark — every helmet it tests has already passed ECE — it is a comparison of how much energy each one absorbs beyond that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour stars puts the Track SV in the upper band, above a great many helmets costing several times as much. And the honest caveat: SHARP rates linear impact absorption. It does not measure rotational loading, comfort, noise or how a helmet ages. It is one strong signal, not the whole picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne more thing worth saying plainly: this rating belongs to the Track SV alone. No other MT model in our range shares it, and we do not lend it to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Questor B9 finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatt. The base is a warm sand beige broken by khaki-brown and grey panels that run diagonally across the flank, with QUESTOR lettered in tonal type along the side. The peak and the chin bar are the darker tone; the MT logo sits in cream on the flank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSand is an unusually sensible colour on an adventure helmet. Dust does not show on it — which is the single most common thing an adventure helmet gets covered in — and a light shell runs measurably cooler under a summer sun than a black one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe peak, and what it costs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Track SV wears a proper adventure peak. It shades your eyes when the sun is low and ahead, it keeps roost off the visor on a gravel road, and it is a large part of why this helmet looks the way it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also catches air. Above roughly 120 km\/h with your head turned, a peak generates lift and a side load that a plain full-face does not, and on a naked bike in a headwind that becomes tiring. Every adventure helmet has this trade — it is not a fault of this one — and it is the reason we would not recommend a peaked helmet to someone whose riding is mostly motorway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGoggles or visor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe helmet takes the HS-12 visor, and the eye port is cut to also accept goggles with the visor removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the whole dual-sport argument in one detail. Visor for the ride out, goggles for the trail, one helmet for both. The visor comes off without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eERS — the emergency release system\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Track SV has ERS: red tabs that let a first responder pull both cheek pads out sideways, so the helmet can be eased off a casualty without the head being lifted or twisted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the feature nobody thinks about when buying and everybody wants afterwards. Off-road and on remote roads you are the rider most likely to be found by someone with no medical training, and a helmet that comes off in stages rather than in one pull is a genuinely different object in that moment. The Braker and Stinger in our range do not have it. This one does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eECE 22.06 — and no DOT\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Track SV clears ECE 22.06, the current European standard: 18 impact points rather than the 22.05's five, several speeds, an oblique impact against an abrasive anvil for rotational loading, and a Brain Injury Criterion limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike MT's jets, no DOT marking is published for this model, and we do not claim one. If you need DOT for a specific reason, check before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe MT-ESP sun visor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA retractable MT-ESP sun visor is built in, with an extended coverage field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn an adventure helmet the shade earns its keep in a specific way: trail riding puts you in and out of tree shadow constantly, and stopping to change a screen every time is not realistic. A shade you can drop and lift with a thumb without taking a hand far off the bar is the right tool for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAnti-fog\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HS-12 is prepared for Pinlock DKS 623 and for FogOff inserts. Neither is supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorth budgeting for if you ride off-road in the cold. Slow, effortful riding produces a great deal of breath and very little airflow, which is the exact condition in which a visor fogs — and a fogged visor on a rocky descent is worse than one on a motorway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe liner\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemovable and washable, in an antibacterial quick-drying fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is not marketing on this model specifically. An adventure helmet gets more sweat into it than a road helmet does, because the riding is physical and often slow, and quick-dry fabric is what lets you wash a liner in the evening and ride the next morning on a trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRetention, and why the double tooth is there\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strap closes on a micrometric ratchet with a double tooth. The single-tooth objection to ratchets is real — a strap fastened on one notch can walk loose under vibration — and a second engaged tooth is the structural answer to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a reason this matters more off-road than on. Vibration on a corrugated gravel road is an order of magnitude worse than anything tarmac produces, and it is exactly the condition that persuades a marginally fastened strap to let go. Set it one notch tighter than feels necessary before a trail section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does not have\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo DOT marking published.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Pinlock insert supplied — the visor is prepared for one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo goggles supplied.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA peak costs you at speed.
