SHOEI VFX-EVO Helmet - Pinnacle TC-5

The world’s most evolved motocross helmet has evolved. Fully loaded with next-level performance, safety, style and progression, the all-new VFX-EVO proudly boasts the SHOEI-exclusive Motion Energy Distribution System [M.E.D.S.]—strategically engineered to reduce rotational acceleration energy to the head in the event of an accident. Completely reimagined and re-engineered without sacrificing an ounce of the quality and performance that have given SHOEI motocross and off-road riders championship-worthy confidence for nearly a decade, the all-new VFX-EVO defines the future of performance.

DESIGN CONCEPT

• Fully loaded with next-level performance, safety, style and progression
• Proudly 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 positioning
• Optimally-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 technology (patent-pending)
• Reduces rotational acceleration to the rider’s head by 15% without compromising any safety and impact performance*
• Anchored by larger center column, inner EPS layer swings during impact
• Strategically-designed perimeter columns absorb rotational energy
• Significant reduction of rotational forces to the rider’s head
• Preserves the lightweight, impact-absorbing characteristics of SHOEI’s traditional EPS systems
• The M.E.D.S. mechanism becomes effective only when subject to an impact

VENTILATION PERFORMANCE

• Boasting sixteen (16) intake and exhaust vents in total
• Wind tunnel-tested for optimal vent port shapes, sizes and locations
• Improved negative air pressure suction for enhanced cool-air intake and hot-air expulsion
• Cooling air channels in the dual-layer EPS liner further enhance airflow
• Optimized to excel in the demanding confines of off-road and motocross environments

CHIN BAR EPS

• High-quality EPS liner material throughout entire chin bar for enhanced impact absorption

V-470 VISOR

• Fine-tuned by SHOEI’s professional motocross and off-road racing team
• Specially designed for a seamless connection with the shell
• Provides superior roost protection and channels cooling air into helmet
• Utilizes highest point of adjustability as its standard “home” position
• New flange mechanism to easily find home position and prevent unexpected movement
• High-grade polycarbonate screws are capable of shearing off during impact to reduce forces to the rider’s head

MULTI-PLY MATRIX AIM+ SHELL

• Proprietary technology integrates a multi-ply matrix specifically designed
• to meet both SNELL M2020 and DOT standards
• Hand-laid interwoven layers of fiberglass with lightweight organic and high-performance fibers
• SHOEI's strongest, lightest, most elastic shell provides optimal impact absorption

DUAL-LAYER / MULTI-DENSITY EPS LINER

• Provides enhanced impact absorption by utilizing varying densities of foam
• Allows cooling air to travel unrestricted through tunnels created in the EPS
• Precise placement of multi-density EPS material yields a more compact, lightweight design
• M.E.D.S. technology absorbs and reduces rotational forces

LARGE EYEPORT

• Provides a massive peripheral field of vision
• Large eyeport facilitates oversized goggles

ADVANCED MOUTHPIECE

• Wind tunnel-refined for optimal cooling
• Reinforced by a strategically-placed strip of AIM+ shell material
• Aluminum mesh screen and removable, washable foam filter prevents roost, rocks, mud, and dust from entering helmet
• Equal parts style, functionality and safety

EMERGENCY QUICK RELEASE SYSTEM

• Allows emergency medical personnel to safely remove the cheek pads from an injured rider’s helmet
• Helmet can be gently removed from an injured rider’s head with minimal load placed on his/her neck

3D MAX-DRY INTERIOR SYSTEM

• Fully removable, washable, replaceable, and adjustable
• Max-Dry material absorbs and dissipates sweat 2X faster than nylon interiors; soft, durable lower cheek pad fabric for a plush fit and feel
• Multi-layer cheek pads for comfort and helmet stabilization
• Three-dimensionally shaped to match the contours of a rider’s head
• Optional interior components available in different sizes for a customizable fit
