Product: 2018 Shoei VFX-WR Helmet

Shoei’s famous motocross helmets have evolved even further, coming equipped with top-of-the-line performance and safety features. New to the Shoei line up, the VFX-WR is equipped with a rotation energy management system they are calling “Motion Energy Distribution System [M.E.D.S.]”. M.E.D.S. is strategically engineered to reduce the effects of severe head injuries in the event of a crash. Here are the official product details from Shoei…

The new VFX-WR has been completely redesigned and re-engineered without sacrificing any of the quality and performance that Shoei is famous for. The all-new VFX-WR is definitely taking steps forward into the future of performance off-road helmets.

What is the Motion Energy Distribution System?

M.E.D.S. is Shoei’s exclusive rotational energy absorption technology
Anchored by larger centre column, inner EPS layer swings during impact, strategically designed perimeter columns absorb rotational energy in the event of a crash, meaning a significant reduction of rotational forces to the rider’s head.

Ventilation Performance

Developed in Shoei’s in-house wind tunnel to realise optimal vent port shapes, sizes and locations, the VFX-WR’s advanced ventilation performance has been optimised to excel in the most demanding conditions.
