The Baden-Württemberg-based manufacturer is launching the Pacer 2.0 as an addition to the previous Pacer model. The new model is aimed at touring cyclists and commuters. The Air Channel Technology is designed to ensure sufficient ventilation despite reduced ventilation openings. An optional rear light can be retrofitted for road use.

Construction and equipment

The CFS adjustment system allows stepless height adjustment over 360 degrees. A Steplock lock secures the adjustment. The strap guide makes it easier to put the helmet on. A C-clip distributor is used to adjust the straps. Reflective details increase visibility. The insect protection net is foamed in and the visor can be removed.
