India is a world of intense colours and flavours, a land of ancient traditions that can touch the soul, just as it happened to Emilio and Cristina. This year our friends at “Moto e Viaggi have, in fact, undertaken a motorbike trip to discover Tamil Nadu. One of the most fascinating and historically rich regions, Tamil Nadu is located at the southern tip of India.  This adventure allowed Emilio and Cristina to fully immerse themselves in the culture, nature and spirituality of this state.

To travel safely and with maximum comfort, Emilio and Cristina have long relied on Caberg helmets. On this trip to India, in particular, they were accompanied by LEVO X, top-of-the-range modular helmet with a wide panoramic visor.

Without the right equipment, however, this exciting journey would not have been possible. So, let’s now discover something more about Caberg’s LEVO X.

LEVO X: all the comfort of a top-of-the-range flip-up

To accompany them on this journey, Emilio and Cristina have chosen the Caberg helmet LEVO X. This flip-up helmet has proven to be essential to ensure maximum protection and total comfort.

LEVO X has passed all the tests required by the ECE 22.06 regulation both with the chin guard closed (P configuration) and with the chin guard open (J configuration). This ensures safe use, even in case of a raised chin guard. Its high quality also allows you to wear it comfortably for long hours.

The helmet is equipped with a panoramic visor that offers a wide view, allowing motorcyclists to fully enjoy every panorama. The Double Visor Tech system, with integrated sun visor, and the standard Pinlock Max Vision anti-fog lens make it perfect to use in any weather.

LEVO X is designed to accommodate the Caberg Pro Speak Evo communicator and the main universal communicators on the market.

The breathable interiors and the helmet’s ventilation system finally made the intense Indian heat a bit more bearable.

In conclusion, Emilio and Cristina’s journey to the south of India allowed them to discover the beauty of the region and its cultural and spiritual depth. Tamil Nadu has left an indelible mark on their hearts, and the stories and images of these days will stay with them forever, thanks also to LEVO X which has proven to be an excellent adventure companion.
