You might recall the black 661 EVO AM that we featured in our trail\/ AM helmet shootout, that helmet came out on top of the bunch. But if the sleek dullness of the black and blue detailed helmet didn’t satisfy your desire to stand out on the trail, then the “Le Mans” edition may be more to your liking.<\/p>\n

Based on the name and the colouring, it would seem that the design was influenced by the famous Martini Racing<\/a> livery, which won a number of Le Mans titles with Porsche.<\/p>\n

The Le Mans 661 EVO AM will be available in South Africa next year through your local 661 retailer<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
