The helmet's forehead area is reinforced by a super fiber belt, similar to the way bands strengthen a barrel. A PB-cLc? shell is assembled using an assortment of materials for a strong, impact-resistant construction. The VAS-A shield system is lowered to further improve "glancing off" ability, while the VAS-A Max-Vision Shield preserves the wide field-of-view and high level of visibility expected of advanced models. The optional Pinlock? insert for this model has advanced to resist fogging even in extreme conditions across the entire field of view.
A thoughtfully designed peak improves ventilation and high-speed flow-through performance, offers a greater range of adjustability for sun blocking, and is more resistant to buffeting—contributing to a more comfortable riding experience. The AR Spoiler is positioned for adventure riding to reduce fatigue from turbulent air on long rides and to help draw hot air out of the crown area.
Practical features include a VAS-A Shield System that allows the shield to be attached or removed without tools for faster shield swaps, and a peak that installs/removes with only one screw per side. A Mouth Shutter allows more fresh air without mesh vents; an Inner Shutter works in conjunction to direct airflow toward the mouth or the shield to help reduce fogging. The Front Logo Duct channels airflow that’s unaffected by rider position and permits forehead venting without compromising protection. An odor-resistant interior enhances comfort on extended rides.
