Engineered for safety, comfort and all‑day performance, this full‑face helmet combines advanced shield mechanics, proven shell construction and a refined ventilation system. VAS Shield Mechanism — a variable axis design with a moving pivot point — pairs pin trajectory and a double‑pivot slot 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, tool‑free removal; the VAS latch securely captures the shield and includes a de‑mist function plus a larger, intuitive latch for seamless operation (positive stop resists unintentional opening yet lifts easily with a slight pull). A clear Pinlock? insert is standard and the VAS Max‑V shield provides reliable visibility in varied conditions.
Impact‑focused shell technology blends strength and lightness: PB‑SNC? and PB‑SNC2 shell constructions use super fiber and special synthetic reinforcing fibers, with Z Resin bonding and an internal structural net plus Peripheral Belt to boost rigidity without excessive weight. Glance‑off ability is enhanced by a smaller, lower pivot cover and smooth shell contours along the Snell test line.
Ventilation and comfort are dialed in — an Internal Air Channel and IC Duct5 work with ducted channels behind the cheek pads to pull hot, moist air from the eye‑port and exhaust it through side cowl vents, helping to keep the rider cool and reduce fogging. IC Duct5 and intake diffusers use three‑position slide gates (Diffuser Type 12 and a three‑position switch) to improve sealing, limit noise and reduce water intrusion; vents are lightly mounted to remain frangible in an impact to minimize snagging and rotational forces.
Interior features include an odor‑resistant, fully removable comfort liner, soft frame materials, removable temple padding and a replaceable crown pad for a customizable fit. Designed around an intermediate oval shape to suit the majority of head profiles, this helmet balances protection, airflow and rider convenience.
