KLIM, a specialist in motorcycle gear, has announced its latest helmet: the GT1 Expedition. This modular (flip-up) helmet is constructed from carbon fiber, making it lighter than its predecessor, the GT1. Development took five years to achieve the desired balance of weight, safety, and off-road capability.
What’s new in the GT1 Expedition?
The GT1 Expedition is designed specifically for off-road riding. It combines a low weight of approximately 1.5 kg with the versatility of a modular design, allowing riders to switch between full-face and open-face configurations. Internal ventilation has been improved for better airflow during long rides.
How much does the KLIM GT1 Expedition weigh?
Thanks to its carbon fiber shell, the helmet weighs around 1.5 kg, making it one of the lightest modular helmets in its class. This reduced weight minimizes neck strain during extended journeys.
What are the key safety features?
The GT1 Expedition is DOT and ECE certified. It features a titanium chin lock, an internal sun visor, and a removable, washable interior liner. It is also compatible with communication systems such as Cardo and Sena.
When will the GT1 Expedition be available?
First shipments are expected in Q1 2025 through authorized KLIM dealers in North America and Europe. Availability in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, is anticipated in the second half of 2025 via local distributors. Pre-orders may be available online.
How much does the KLIM GT1 Expedition cost?
KLIM has not announced an official price, but estimates place it between $800 and $1,000 (approximately SAR 3,000 to SAR 3,750). The use of carbon fiber and advanced manufacturing techniques justifies the premium pricing.
Is the GT1 Expedition suitable for Gulf climates?
Yes. The improved ventilation system helps manage heat, and the carbon fiber construction reduces weight, which is beneficial in hot conditions. The modular design also allows riders to open the face for more airflow when needed.
