Engineered for high-speed performance, protection and rider comfort:
VAS Shield Mechanism — Being able to see the shield mechanism allows for easier shield change. A dual-function lever releases both the side cover and shield pin for quick and simple shield removal. The VAS mechanism with a variable axis incorporates a moving pivot point; by combining the pin trajectory, which is based on an imaginary axis*, with the two trajectories of the double pivot point slot, the shield opens and closes smoothly even with the much lower shield mount position. Shield Latch — The VAS latch captures and securely holds the shield closed to help prevent unexpected opening. In addition to the de-mist function, the larger latch allows for intuitive and seamless shield operation. Glance-Off Ability — Smaller and lower VAS pivot cover and smooth shell along the SNell test line in the temple area increases the helmet's ability to glance off objects during an impact. PB-SNC? Shell — Created from super fiber and synthetic fibers, the shell provides tensile strength and flexibility characteristics: a strong shell with less weight. Diffuser Type 12 — Air intake vents have three positions and are designed to help provide improved sealing which decreases road noise and water intrusion. Odor-Resistant Liner — Fully removable interior comfort liner helps maintain a neutral pH level close to the skin. Soft frame material is more comfortable and features removable temple padding and a removable/replaceable crown pad to allow for a customized fit. VAS Max-V (BV) Shield — VAS Max Vision shield is standard to provide visibility in all seasons and for all types of riding. A clear Pinlock? insert is standard with this helmet. IC Duct5 — Provides air flow; the switch features three positions, is easier to open, and limits water intrusion when fully closed.
