Engineered for a long-oval head shape, this helmet increases EPS liner space front-to-back and reduces it side-to-side to better fit riders with a narrower head and a more pronounced forehead. The Variable Axis System (VAS) shield mechanism was developed to enhance the shell shape; its VAS latch captures and securely holds the shield closed to help prevent unexpected opening, while the larger latch provides an intuitive de-mist function and seamless shield operation. The VAS shield system lowers the pivot point by an average of 24 mm, smoothing the shell surface in the critical temple area to better reduce impact energy transfer. Peripherally Belted - Super Complex Laminate Construction (PB-SCLC) shell design combines multiple materials and techniques to deliver both performance and affordability. Advanced ventilation includes QVF three-position intake and QVR exhaust ducts for excellent air intake and exhaust performance when riding—even when the front shutter is closed on the top duct, a side vent still serves as an exhaust vent. FCS? Cheek Pads * The contoured shape—combined with multiple layers of varying foam densities supported by a foam *spring*—cradles the face while helping to block wind noise. A water-repellent, removable ES chin cover enhances the helmet's egg shape and increases mouth-area exhaust. Odor-resistant liner material resists bacterial build-up to help the helmet stay fresher longer. Includes VAS-Max Vision (MV) shield that accepts the VAS-MV Pinlock? lens; Pinlock? 120 MaxVision* included.
