Product: 2018 Shoei VFX-WR Helmet

8 years ago

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.

Key Features

  • Motion Energy Distribution System [M.E.D.S.]
  • Dual Layer/Multi-Density EPS Liner
  • 16 intake and exhaust vents in total
  • Fully removable, washable, replaceable, and adjustable liner
  • Multi-layer cheek pads
  • Max-Dry liner material absorbs and dissipates sweat 2x faster than traditional nylon interiors
  • Large eyeport facilitates oversized goggles
  • Emergency Quick Release System [E.Q.R.S.] Allows emergency medical personnel to easily and safely remove the cheek pads from an injured rider’s helmet. The helmet can be gently removed from an injured rider’s head with minimal load placed on his/her neck.

Price & Availability

This helmet is available from all good motorcycle stores or head over to www.mcleodaccessories.com.au for more information.
The Shoei VFX-WR is available in sizes XS – XXL for RRP $849.90
