Quick, easy, and intuitive, the Variable Axis System (VAS) shield mechanism enhances the shell shape for improved field of view and safer impact performance. A smaller, lower VAS pivot cover yields more area above the cover while a larger latch and VAS latch capture securely hold the shield closed to help prevent unexpected opening. Smooth shell profiling along the Snell test line in the temple area helps the helmet glance off objects during an impact, and Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-CLC) balances light weight with superior strength. The shell flares 5 mm around the base to make the helmet easier to put on and take off while remaining secure with the FCS2 cheek pads.
Fit and comfort are fully adjustable with an adjustable perimeter liner and cheek pads so riders can custom fit to exact requirements. The intermediate oval shape fits the majority of head shapes in North American markets. A soft-brushed, removable liner makes cleaning simple and delivers long-wearing comfort. FCS cheek pads — the contoured shape combined with multiple layers of varying foam densities supported by a foam spring — cradles the face and helps block wind noise for a quieter ride.
Ventilation and aerodynamics are optimized for real-world use: a one-piece exhaust vent improves exhaust performance and aerodynamic stability, while a top exhaust vent remains open at all times to assist heat extraction and relieve moisture build-up in the eye port area, helping to reduce shield fogging. Together, these features deliver a high-performance full-face motorcycle helmet focused on safety, fit, comfort, and airflow management for riders who demand lightweight impact protection without compromising on performance.
