[DUCATI-RIDER]

Hey guys. I really want to buy this helmet, but can't seem to figure out the engine picture of the side. Is it a picture of the 1098/1198 engine?

It's a Ducati desmo valve system. Not specific to any particular model.

 

[Crarrs]

That valve angle is definitely not a Testastretta head. Looks like a 2 valve head to me.

Its all these things

What prices are you finding on this lid? Cheapest so far I've found is $599

Wow I can only guess that you just got into Ducati. So I will help out.

The pic is of the Desmo valve system in a the motor.
Its what makes a Ducati a Ducati.

Do a search on this forum or Google on Desmo valve system and
you will understand.


Hope that helps and welcome to the fold.

Mine was $899 CAN, excellent helmet.

The First picture of the helmet def has a 2 valve head on the side of it, but the one that was posted after it def has a 4 valve head on it

 

[marxred749s]

Indeed, the last picture definitely is a testastretta head (Narrow valve angle I believe is what it means) although comparing those two pictures is pretty cool, our modern ducs have indeed come a long way.

Very cool helmets!

Yes it is a 4 valve head...yes it is a Testastretta head(1098) and yes it is on sale for approx $590(if in stock). It is the RX-7, and I have them in stock...........hehe...plug.

 

[woodyracing]

so I wonder whats the deal with getting a 2V vs. 4V design on the helmet???
Not that I could afford a $600 helmet (I go through a lot of helmets lol) but I'd be interested to know if there is a choice between the two?
