Features long oval shape, created by increasing the space of the EPS liner front to back and decreasing the space side-to-side, designed for riders with a narrow head and a more pronounced forehead. 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, while the larger latch provides intuitive de-mist function and seamless shield operation. The VAS shield system lowers the pivot point by an average of 24 mm, making the shell surface area in the critical temple area much smoother and better able to reduce impact energy getting into the helmet.
Peripherally Belted - Super Complex Laminate Construction (PB-SCLC) shell design combines multiple materials and techniques to deliver balanced performance and value. 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, a side vent still serves as an exhaust vent. FCS cheek pads feature a contoured shape and multiple layers of varying foam densities supported by a foam “spring” to cradle the face and help block wind noise. A water-repellent, removable ES chin cover enhances the helmet’s egg shape while increasing exhaust from the mouth area. Odor-resistant liner material resists bacterial build-up so the interior stays fresher longer. Includes VAS-Max Vision (MV) shield that accepts the VAS-MV Pinlock lens; Pinlock 120 MaxVision included for superior anti-fog protection.
