Designed with an intermediate oval profile to fit the majority of North American head shapes, this motorcycle helmet combines advanced safety, comfort and aerodynamic performance. Quick, easy, and intuitive, the Variable Axis System (VAS) shield mechanism was developed to enhance the shape of the shell; the VAS latch captures and securely holds the shield closed to help prevent unexpected opening. VAS pivot cover is smaller and lower, yielding more area above the cover, while a larger latch allows for intuitive and seamless shield operation. Smooth shell along the Snell test line in the temple area increases the helmet's ability to glance off objects during an impact. Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-CLC) shell is developed to be both light and stronger. Adjustable perimeter liner and cheek pads allow owners to custom fit to their exact size requirement; soft-brushed, removable liner allows for easy cleaning and provides incredible 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. One-piece exhaust vent improves exhaust performance and aerodynamic stability, and the top exhaust vent remains open at all times to assist extraction of heat and relieve moisture build-up in the eye port area that can cause shield fogging. Shell flares 5 mm around the base, making it easier to get the helmet on and off while remaining secure with the FCS2 cheek pads.
