Fox Racing V1 Solid Helmet

Fox Racing V1 Solid Helmet

The V1 Helmet from Fox Racing delivers an array of elevated features to improve rider safety, fit and comfort, making it one of the most competitive, versatile, entry-level moto helmets on the market. The V1 has received the latest international certifications, including ECE 22.06 ECE 22.06 is a helmet safety rating that extends and increases the testing requirements of ECE 22.05 (with 22.05 being a more modern, more comprehensive European alternative to DOT). With 22.06, 12 additional impact points are analyzed (now totaling 18) and impact speed is increased (from 7.5 to 8.2 m/s). Unlike DOT, every ECE helmet model must actually be tested by an independent lab before it receives 22.06 certification. and DOT, as well as a slew of safety features to help you ride with ease. The helmet comes equipped with Mips® safety system How does the Mips® safety system work? The brain is typically more sensitive to rotational motion than linear motion because it has shear properties similar to water or gel. When different parts of the brain move relative to each other because of rotational motion, the tissues can stretch, which can cause concussions or other brain injuries. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions and more severe brain injury in oblique hits to the head. The Mips® safety system consists of a low friction layer mounted inside the helmet. In a crash, the low friction layer is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. This is intended to help reduce the risk of brain injury. , a protection system shown to reduce rotational forces by absorbing and redirecting energies and forces otherwise transmitted to the brain. Side shear-off screws allow the visor to purposely break away on impact. And the lightweight polycarbonate and ABS plastic shell is designed to disperse energy in the event of a crash.

Designed for comfort, the V1 features a robust venting system to channel fresh air in and hot air out to keep you cool and dry. The removable liner and cheek pads are washable, and the mouth vent and chin bar are padded for comfort. The V1 helmet is available in nine sizes, with four shell and six EPS sizes. You can further refine your fit with optional cheek pads, which come in either thick or thin versions. Thick cheek pads will tighten the fit by 5 mm, while thin cheek pads will loosen it by 5 mm. With a large variety of styles, nine sizes, and modern safety features, the V1 helmet is ready for any ride, including dirt bike, ATV, and side by side. Its cold-weather kit makes it ideal for winter activities like winter riding and snowmobiling.

Features:

• Lightweight injection molded polycarbonate and ABS shell construction
• Equipped with Mips® safety system
• Mips adds a low-friction layer between the helmet and the head
• Dual-density EPS liner Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a rigid, energy absorbing foam. In the helmet industry, EPS is the most common means of energy management to protect the brain. Generic EPS is often referred to as “Styrofoam” (a trademarked name owned by the Dow Chemical Company). Premium helmet producers utilize multi-density EPS liners to balance comfort, safety and performance. is deigned to protect by spreading the forces of an impact across a wider surface area
