Engineered for sport riding and long-distance comfort, this full-face motorcycle helmet pairs advanced safety engineering with rider-focused convenience. VAS Shield Mechanism — a variable-axis system with a moving pivot point — combines the pin trajectory (based on an imaginary axis*) with the dual pivot-slot trajectories so the shield opens and closes smoothly even with a lower mount position. A dual-function lever releases both the side cover and shield pin for quick, simple shield removal, and visible mechanism details make shield changes easier. The VAS latch captures and securely holds the shield closed to help prevent unexpected opening; its larger latch adds a de-mist function and intuitive, seamless operation.
Glance-Off Ability is enhanced by a smaller, lower VAS pivot cover and a smooth shell along the SNell test line in the temple area to help the helmet glance off objects during impact. The PB-SNC? Shell, built from super fiber and synthetic fibers, delivers high tensile strength with reduced weight for strong protection without excess mass. Diffuser Type 12 and IC Duct5 ventilation work together to manage airflow: multi-position air intake vents improve sealing to decrease road noise and water intrusion, while internal ducts provide targeted circulation; a three-position switch is easier to open and limits water ingress when fully closed.
Comfort features include a fully removable, odor-resistant interior liner that helps maintain a neutral pH level close to the skin, soft-frame materials, removable temple padding, and a replaceable crown pad for a customized fit. VAS Max-V (BV) Shield provides broad visibility for all seasons and riding conditions, and a clear Pinlock? insert is included as standard to reduce fogging. Designed to balance protection, ventilation, and everyday usability, this helmet supports confident riding from commuting to high-performance use.
