Touratech just topped its own carbon helmet range again, and for once “the lightest one yet” isn’t marketing filler — this thing weighs less than a liter of the coffee I need before I can even think about pulling on riding gear.

Touratech Launches the Aventuro Gravel Carbon

Touratech has launched the Aventuro Gravel Carbon, a new range-topping adventure helmet built from X-PRO Carbon — a carbon-fibre composite with more than 60% fibre content — and priced at €749. It’s available now across Europe in two graphic options, in sizes S to 3XL across three shell sizes, and it’s certified to both ECE 22.06 and DOT standards.

The headline number is weight: a size L comes in at just under 1,500 grams including the visor and peak, putting it among the lightest ADV-style carbon helmets on the market. That matters more the longer the day gets — neck fatigue at hour six of a gravel loop is a real cost, not an abstract spec.

What’s Actually New Under the Shell

Spec Value
Shell material X-PRO Carbon (60%+ fibre content)
Weight ~1,500 g (size L, with visor and peak)
Certification ECE 22.06, DOT
Price €749
Sizes S-3XL, 3 shell sizes
Colours 2 graphics (black, white)

The standout feature is the Anti-Vibration EPS System: a flexible rubber strip sandwiched between layers of EPS foam that’s designed to damp vibration transmitted through the shell, which Touratech says cuts both noise and neck strain on long stints. The helmet also converts three ways without tools — full-face, with the peak off, or stripped down further for road-focused riding — and picks up an integrated action-camera mount, a 3D mesh interior for airflow, and an X-mart Dry liner fabric with fully removable, washable padding.

None of this is Touratech’s first carbon helmet — it joins the existing Aventuro PRO Carbon and Aventuro Travel Carbon in the range — but the Gravel Carbon is pitched squarely at riders who split their time between pavement, gravel, and proper trail, rather than long-haul touring or hardcore off-road. It lands into the same ECE 22.06 wave that just hit Shoei’s Hornet ADV, and if built-in comms is more your priority than shaving grams, Cardo’s Venture is the other recent ADV-helmet launch worth cross-shopping.
