Source: sena.com (verified 2026-08-01) · corroborated by rideapart.com. Sena's own US product page states a DOT-rated composite fiberglass shell weighing 1760 g±50 g in size M, a retractable internal sun visor, a Pinlock-ready external shield with a Pinlock 120 MaxVision insert included, a removable/washable comfort liner and cheek pads, an integrated rear taillight, and four vents (top, chin, two exhaust); it also confirms the built-in Harman Kardon-tuned Bluetooth 5.0 / Mesh 3.0 intercom that defines the model (bluetooth_ready=true, as the comm hardware is factory-integrated rather than a mount for a separate unit). The fetched product image (a white helmet with visible SENA branding and intercom controls) was visually confirmed as the genuine Impulse. rideapart.com's long-term review corroborates the model and states an approximately $699 MSRP. The page lists S–XXL labelled sizes but does not separately state a physical shell-mold count, so shell_sizes is null.
