why would you remove the chin section? It isnt vented enough for xc use. Oh and I have never heard of it, neither has google so it would seem. You really need a proper picture to look at. They say it meets all the necessary standards which is good, having said that most DH lids exceed these standards.
you could get a 661 comp or O'Neil Fury for example for around the same price.

I like the idea of useing the helmet mostly without the chin guard then fitting it when needed. Also tried googling it and found nothing.
i would spend the same money on a decent pisspot lid as you will get better use out of it, i use mine for everything including, xc, dh and sessioning the local jumps, i have a full face but its heavy and hot despite being carbon fibre.

Agree with sailor, there is nowhere near enough venting for XC use, your head will boil! Do you really need a full face helmet?
