Engineered for riders who demand top-tier protection, comfort and performance, this motorcycle helmet combines advanced shell construction, refined aerodynamics and thoughtful ventilation to keep you focused on the road. Features intermediate oval shape which fits the majority of head shapes in the North American markets. Internal Air Channel * Improved ventilation with an enhanced air extraction system pulls hot/moist air from the eye port area through ducted channels behind the cheek pads and exhausts out the side cowl vents, keeping the rider cool and helping to reduce fogging. PB-SNC2 Shell * Z Resin developed and blended in-house bonds the many layers and materials of the shell more securely using less resin, improving shell strength as well as reducing weight. Super Fiber and special synthetic reinforcing fibers allow for a stronger, yet lighter shell with excellent Glancing Off properties. The addition of the internal Structural net and Peripheral Belt further strengthens the shell with minimal increase to weight or thickness. Shield Latch * The Variable Axis System (VAS) latch captures and securely holds the shield closed to help resist unexpected opening. VAS Shield Mechanism * By combining the pin trajectory with the two trajectories of the double pivot point slot, the shield opens and closes smoothly even with the much lower shield mount position. Dual-function lever releases both the side cover/pod and shield pin for quick and simple shield removal; larger latch allows intuitive operation even with heavy gloves. Shield has a positive stop to resist unintentional opening but lifts easily when needed. IC Duct5 * Uses a three-position slide gate to improve sealing for reduced noise and water intrusion. Vents are lightly mounted to remain frangible and easily come off in an impact so as not to snag on obstacles or cause excess rotational force.
