or the modalities indicated in this booklet.
Before using the helmet, carefully read this manual. Keep it at
hand for future reference.
For further information, contact your Distributor or Suomy.
Use this helmet in compliance with the instructions contained in
this manual. Compliance with these instructions will make your
helmet last longer and will assure maximum product performances.
Modifications and/or alterations to the helmet and/or any of its

All the Suomy products are constantly subject to a continual
improvement process, that's why Suomy reserves the right to make
changes, without prior notice, to the product object of this manual.
It is therefore not possible to exercise any rights on the basis of the
information, illustrations and descriptions contained in this manual.
SPEEDSTAR was developed and tested to assure, together with
the safety features, the best level of comfort and noise reduction
during ordinary conditions of use. However, the particular

configuration of the vehicle and/or the position of the rider or both
factors can entail situations that could not be foreseen during the
manufacturing of the product that may generate aerodynamic
rustles or hissing sounds. Suomy therefore, cannot be held
responsible if this should occur.
SPEEDSTAR is not designed to be used with earphones and/or
similar devices.
Features
The internal shell can be totally removed. It is made in excellent
anallergic fabric with anti-bacteria treatment.
All the parts in contact with the face are easily washable.
Interchangeable side cheek pads, available in different sizes, as
accessories to assure the best fit for all head sizes.
The SPEEDSTAR ventilation system along with the particular shape
(Suomy patent) of the internal polystyrene shell,
optimizes outside and inside air flows, fed by three air intakes,
which exploit the Venturi effect thus optimizing internal ventilation.
The four back air inlets release the air flows.
This assures a more uniform and continuous flow of air inside
the shell, which is also enhanced by the extraction grid
on the back part.
The strap has a D-ring retention system in anti-corrosive stainless
steel, and a button on the strap. The fastening stud is positioned
in a completely free and accessible area.
The stud is easy to lock and unlock even with gloves.
When the automatic button is fastened, the strap forms an eyehole
that can easily be used as «ring» to pull the tab and release the
D-ring fastening system.
General Rules
For maximum safety, SPEEDSTAR must fit tightly and be correctly
and securely fastened, so it cannot be taken off neither by pulling
it nor by rotating it around the head (see figure 1). If it is too big it
may slide down over the eyes or turn in a lateral direction due to
movement during riding, thus blocking visibility.
FIGURE 1
Do not use scarves or neck guards which could make the strap
slide and the helmet fly off in case of crash.
SPEEDSTAR was designed to be used with most of the eyeglasses
on the market. In any case check how the helmet fits with the
glasses before purchasing it.
The function of the helmet is to reduce stress on the user's head
in case of crash; this happens through a partial destruction and/or
deformation of its components (mostly the external shell and the
internal polystyrene shell). In this way part of the energy generated
by the impact is absorbed by the components of the helmet, thus
reducing the vibrations on the user's head, eliminating or limiting
the risk of traumas. The protection capacity of the helmet is not
endless and certain crashes may generate such high stress that
even the energy absorbed by the helmet is not enough to protect
