Frequently asked questions
Here are the most frequently asked questions to help you choose your motorcycle equipment, helmet or accessory.
-
Are there vintage glasses that can be worn with prescription glasses?
Yes, it does exist. The Climax brand offers CLIMAX 521 eyewear for spectacle wearers. The Climax frame is designed to facilitate the passage of eyeglass temples, and the lenses are offset to make room for the corrective lenses.
-
Can I use a bowl helmet on the road?
Bol helmets as we imagine them are not approved for road use. You can find them used or new, but they won't be approved for use on public roads. You can use them at events or private gatherings.
There are, however, vintage-style jet helmets without screens that are approved for road use. You'll find them at Bell, Nexx, Stormer, etc. They offer better coverage than the old bolt-on helmets of our grandparents, and are therefore more protective.
At Ixtem Moto, we've decided to list only approved motorcycle helmets.
-
Can I ride with an unapproved vintage motorcycle helmet?
The answer is no. Even if you ride an old one, your vintage motorcycle helmet must be approved. The standard currently in force in France is ECE 22-05, soon to be replaced by ECE 22-06. The good news is that, with the craze for cafe racers, vintage motorcycles and other stylish preparations, motorcycle helmet manufacturers have developed helmets with an old-fashioned look, even from the 70s, with recent technology and therefore approved.
