DESIGN CONCEPT
Fully loaded with next-level performance, safety, style and progressionProudly boasts the SHOEI-exclusive Motion Energy Distribution System [M.E.D.S.]All-new V-470 visor provides a seamless connection with the shell, optimal roost protection, and secure positioningOptimally-designed vents, an aerodynamic shell, and cooling EPS channels yield superior airflow
MOTION ENERGY DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM [M.E.D.S.]Proprietary, SHOEI-exclusive rotational energy absorption technologyAnchored by larger center column, inner EPS layer swings during impactStrategically-designed perimeter columns absorb rotational energySignificant reduction of rotational forces to the rider's headPreserves the lightweight, impact-absorbing characteristics of SHOEI's traditional EPS systems
DUAL-LAYER / MULTI DENSITY EPS LINERProvides enhanced impact absorption by utilizing varying densities of foamAllows cooling air to travel unrestricted through tunnels created in the EPSPrecise placement of multi-density EPS material yields a more compact, lightweight designM.E.D.S. technology absorbs and reduces rotational energy
MULTI-PLY MATRIX AIM+ SHELLProprietary technology integrates a six-ply matrixHand-laid interwoven layers of fiberglass with lightweight organic and high-performance fibersSHOEI's strongest, lightest, most elastic shell provides optimal impact absorption
CHIN BAR EPSHigh-quality EPS liner material throughout entire chin bar for enhanced impact absorption
SHELL DESIGN + AERODYNAMICSExclusive, state-of-the-art shell forming technologyIncorporates the aerodynamic advantages of a spoiler into the shellConsistent shell thickness guarantees proper strength and weightShell-integrated goggle channel forms a perfect goggle retention system
LARGE EYEPORTProvides a massive peripheral field of visionLarge eyeport facilitates oversized goggles
V-470 VISORFine-tuned by SHOEI's professional motocross and off-road racing teamSpecially designed for a seamless connection with the shellProvides superior roost protection and channels cooling air into helmetUtilizes highest point of adjustability as its standard “home” positionNew flange mechanism to easily find home position and prevent unexpected movementHigh-grade polycarbonate screws are capable of shearing off during impact to reduce forces to the rider's head
ADVANCED MOUTHPIECEEqual parts style, functionality and safetyWind tunnel-refined for optimal coolingReinforced by a strategically-placed strip of AIM+ shell materialAluminum mesh screen and removable, washable foam filter prevents roost, rocks, mud, and dust from entering helmet
VENTILATION PERFORMANCEBoasting sixteen (16) intake and exhaust vents in totalWind tunnel-tested for optimal vent port shapes, sizes and locationsImproved negative air pressure suction for enhanced cool-air intake and hot-air expulsionCooling air channels in the dual-layer EPS liner further enhance airflowOptimized to excel in the demanding confines of off-road and motocross environments
EMERGENCY QUICK RELEASE SYSTEM [E.Q.R.S.]Allows emergency medical personnel to easily and safely remove the cheek pads from an injured rider's helmetHelmet can be gently removed from an injured rider's head with minimal load placed on his/her neck
3D MAX-DRY INTERIOR SYSTEMFully removable, washable, replaceable, and adjustableMax-Dry liner material absorbs and dissipates sweat 2X faster than traditional nylon interiorsSoft yet durable lower cheek pad fabric for a plush fit and feelMulti-layer cheek pads for maximum comfort and superior helmet stabilizationThree-dimensionally shaped to match the contours of a rider's head
