Fox Racing V3 RS Optical Helmet

Fox Racing V3 RS Optical Helmet

Seeing is believing and the V3 RS Optical Helmet graphic is split right down the middle between safe and steady vs. wild and full gas. Yin and yang, darkness and light—with a turn of your head you can change the game. As the most technologically advanced motocross helmet out there, this industry-leading helmet is packed with next-level features including Mips Integra Split impact protection and a 4K carbon fiber shell that bumps up the impact resistance further, all while keeping it lightweight.

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. —an impact technology that manages rotational forces on impact to add a low-friction layer between the helmet and the head, the V3 puts your protection front and center. Featuring a hydration routing system so you can keep the H2O flowing as you rip, ride comfort is enhanced further with induction vents to aid ventilation plus the Ionic+ moisture-wicking liner and cheek pads to keep you cool.

This helmet also comes complete with speaker recess compartments, compatible with most helmet communication systems, and spare parts and internals to help get the best fit. Safety and performance go hand-in-hand with this pro-level and race-ready dirt bike helmet. Worn and refined by the fastest racers on the planet, the V3 RS is made for motocross champions and provides the podium-proven performance serious riders demand.

Features:

• Mips® safety system
• 4K carbon fiber shell provides increased impact resistance while reducing weight
• Induction vents on the top of the helmet are strategically placed to pull air in and aid in cooling
• 3-position visor with custom anodized shear-away hardware
• MDEPS  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. protects by spreading the forces of impact across a wider surface area
• Proprietary Eject compatible cheek pad removal system
• Ionic+ moisture-wicking liner and cheek pads with a built-in cooling effect
• Speaker recess compartments are compatible with most helmet communication systems
• The hydration routing system allows you to hydrate while on the move
• Carbon fiber D-ring fastener
• Includes a spare visor, spare visor screws and washers, removable mudguard visor extension, spare comfort liner, and spare cheek pads in both thick and thin options for a customizable fit
• Meets DOT and 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. standards
