TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Shoei’s extensive experience in off-road helmet design and manufacturing has led to the creation of a new standard in off-road helmets, the VFX-W. The aggressive shell design allows for a lightweight off-road helmet that offers incredible protection, form-fitting comfort, cooling ventilation and components that are easy to care for.

Lightweight, Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus Shell  

• Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus (AIM+) construction combines high performance fibers with organic fibers to create a shell structure that is lightweight, rigid and resilient
• Four shell and five liner sizes present increased fit options that help to comfortably fit most head sizes
• Aerodynamic properties are maximized through extensive wind tunnel and rider testing 

Flow-Through Ventilation System  

• Front intake vents combine with rear vents and a neck outlet vent to maximize flow-through ventilation
• Cool air passes through the front intake vents, cools the helmet interior and is exhausted through the rear vents by the force of negative air pressure

3D Max-Dry Removable Liner System 

• The helmet interior is constructed with a comfortable, Max-Dry material that absorbs and discharges moisture two times faster than traditional nylon
• The 3D Max-Dry removable liner system is thermomolded to match the liner perfectly to the helmet interior
• The cheek pads, upper liner and chinstrap covers are easily removed for cleaning and/or replacement
• The removable cheek pads are available in optional sizes so that each rider can personalize their fit

Sleek Visor and Sleek Mouthpiece 

• Aggressively shaped Sleek Visor provides incredible airflow for reduced drag
• Sleek visor is easily installed or removed with the use of three external screws for ease of access to center screw and tightening by hand
• No-clog Sleek Mouthpiece for enhanced flow-through ventilation
• Removable, washable and replaceable Sleek Mouthpiece filter
• Matte black anti-reflection for underside of visor is included (white and graphic models only)
• Unique chin strap clip keeps strap from flapping in the wind
• Ergonomically shaped mud guard
• Helmet sack constructed of soft, velvety fabric with drawstring closure
