WHILE THE PAVILLON IS A CONTEMPORARY CLASSIC REMINISCENT OF "RETRO", EVEN HISTORIC FORMS, THE SIMPLE ADDITION OF THE VISOR AND ITS TWO ALUMINIUM PIVOTS TAKES THE RUBY HELMET INTO A RETRO-FUTURISTIC WORLD, WITH AN ALLUSION TO THE ROBOT STEREOTYPES OR THE HELMETS OF AMERICAN AND JAPANESE SCIENCE FICTION HEROES OF THE LAST CENTURY. EACH BELVEDERE COMES IN A TRADITIONAL RED RUBY BOX WITH THREE VISORS: ONE TRANSPARENT, ONE SMOKED AND ONE INTERMEDIATE SHADE. IT TAKES JUST A FEW SECONDS TO CHANGE THE VISOR: SIMPLY UNSCREW THE CHROMIUM-PLATED EYES THAT HOLD THE VISOR IN PLACE, THEN SCREW THEM UP AGAIN. THE ARTICULATION SYSTEM ALLOWS YOU TO OPEN THE VISOR IN THREE POSITIONS, PLUS AN EXTRA NOTCH TO HOLD IT FIRM AT HIGH SPEED.

THE BELVEDERE HAS ALL THE QUALITIES OF THE HELMETS MADE BY ATELIERS RUBY, MANUFACTURE AND FINISH OF COURSE, AND ALSO THE EXPERT CHOICE OF MATERIALS, STARTING WITH THE CARBON FIBRE SHELL WITH ITS SENSUAL BACKBONE. YOU’LL FIND ANOTHER TYPICAL RUBY FEATURE WITH THE QUILTED CARDINAL RED LINING AND ITS UNRIVALLED FIT, WHICH IS EXTENDED IN NAPPA LAMBSKIN ON THE SIDE OF THE FACE. FOR YOUR SAFETY, THE MOUNTING PARTS ARE MADE OF TITANIUM AND THE CHIN STRAP IS CLOSED WITH A DOUBLE-D BUCKLE (THE ONLY SYSTEM AUTHORISED IN COMPETITION) A LITTLE EXTRA FROM ATELIERS RUBY, THE REAR POCKET WITH VITAL INFORMATION IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. THE FINAL PRODUCT IS STILL SIGNED WITH THE RUBY EMBLEM IN METAL.

WITH THIS DESIGN, ATELIERS RUBY IS OPENING UP NEW HORIZONS FOR MOTORCYCLE (OR TRICYCLE) USERS, WHO CAN NOW TRAVEL AT SERIOUS SPEEDS IN A RUBY HELMET, WHATEVER THE WEATHER CONDITIONS.
