The Italian helmet brand Caberg has launched its new Tanami Ranger adventure-style lid, designed for riders who split their time between tarmac and trails. The helmet is built from fibreglass and certified to the latest ECE 22.06 safety standard, making it suitable for long-distance riding on mixed terrain.
The Tanami Ranger features an 'on-off' style full-face design, allowing riders to switch between a peak and visor depending on their riding conditions. This adaptability is ideal for adventure riders who need both practicality and protection on the road or off-road.
Two sizes are available, covering XS to M and L to XXL, with removable magnetic vent covers that can be taken off when extra airflow is needed. The ventilation system is designed to be adaptable, making it suitable for a range of riding styles and conditions.
The helmet also features provision for a hydration system, which is becoming increasingly common in adventure and rally-style helmets. This adds an extra layer of convenience for riders who need to stay hydrated during long rides.
Inside the Tanami Ranger, removable and washable liners made from breathable materials are provided, alongside accommodation for riders wearing glasses. An internal drop-down sun visor and double D-ring fastening setup complete the interior features.
The standout feature of the Tanami Ranger is its SOS Medical ID system, which uses NFC technology to store emergency contacts and medical information that can be accessed by first responders after a crash. This technology has significant implications for motorcycle safety and rider convenience.
Additionally, the helmet is prepped for Caberg's Pro Speak Evo comms kit, allowing rider-to-rider intercom use as well as smartphone connectivity for calls, music, and navigation. This feature adds an extra layer of connectivity and convenience for adventure riders.
The Tanami Ranger will be offered in two graphic options, with one designed to appeal to the adventure crowd and the other inspired by popular bikes like the Honda Africa Twin and BMW R 1300 GS.
With a price tag of €399.99, the Tanami Ranger is an affordable option for riders looking for a high-quality adventure helmet with advanced features. UK pricing has yet to be confirmed, but it's expected to follow shortly.
The integration of NFC technology in helmets like the Caberg Tanami Ranger represents a significant step forward in motorcycle safety and rider convenience. As this technology becomes more widespread, we can expect to see even more innovative features and applications in the world of adventure riding.
