Ensure the Race Air system you choose is compatible with your specific helmet. Most systems offer adapters for popular helmet brands and models, so confirm fit before purchase. Race Air systems may vary depending on your Polaris Xpedition model year or configuration. Double-check compatibility to guarantee a seamless installation.
Consider the airflow strength you need. If you typically ride in scorching deserts, prioritize a system with a high cubic feet per minute (CFM) rating for maximum airflow. Some Race Air systems can simultaneously pump air to multiple helmets, and as such, are perfect for group rides. Choose a system that accommodates the number of riders you typically adventure with.
While the Race Air system keeps you cool, consider the fan's noise level. Opt for a system with a noise rating that falls within your comfort range, especially for long rides. Evaluate the installation process. Some systems require minor modifications to your UTV, while others offer a more plug-and-play approach. Choose a system that suits your comfort level with DIY projects. Consider the ease of cleaning or replacing the air filters. A system with readily accessible and replaceable filters ensures optimal performance on dusty trails.
Verify how the Race Air system connects to your Polaris Xpedition's power source. Some systems connect directly to the battery, while others may utilize the cigarette lighter outlet. Does the system allow adding extra pumps or outlets if you ride with multiple passengers?
Single Pumper Systems: This is the most basic option and is ideal for solo riders or those prioritizing affordability. A single pump unit connects to your Xpedition's power source and delivers a cool air stream to your helmet through a hose and attachment.
Dual Pumper Systems: These systems feature two pumps, providing a dedicated cool air stream for driver and passenger helmets. This ensures everyone enjoys a comfortable, breathable ride.
