Fox Racing V3 RS Syz Helmet (SM) - Black/White/Red

Fox Racing V3 RS Syz Helmet

Fox Racing's most advanced helmet, the V3 RS Helmet Series has been revised to include 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. and Fox's updated MVRS system to provide podium-proven performance and safety. The highly ventilated shell is constructed of a carbon resin and FRP blend for a balance of weight savings and strength. Beneath the shell are emergency quick-release cheek pads, dual-density Varizorb 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. and carbon fiber D-rings. Diving one layer deeper, the Multi-Directional Impact Protection System  manages rotational forces on impact through low-friction layer between the helmet and the head. This additional impact layer also functions to disperse added impact energy - protection every racer needs. Safety and performance go hand-in-hand with this pro-level,  race-ready helmet. Worn and refined by the fastest racers on the planet, the V3 RS is made for motocross champions.

Features: 

• Mips® safety system
• Improved Magnetic Visor Release System (MVRS) with center post magnet and shear-away side screws
• Dual-density Varizorb™ EPS liner is meant to provide improved protection by spreading the forces of impact across a wider surface area
• MCT (Multi Composite Technology) Shell construction that blends carbon and FRP resins to provide a light yet rigid external shell
• Injected Mesh vent screens provide superior ventilation and airflow, while maintaining protection from dirt and debris
• EPP chin bar maintains lower weight while helping to manage energy during impacts
• EPS liner is compatible with Eject Helmet Removal System® 
• Emergency release cheek pads
• Removable, washable X-Static® comfort liner and cheek pads are antimicrobial and manage odor while wicking moisture away from the head 
• 4 shell and EPS sizes for best in class fit
• Carbon fiber double D-ring closure
• Meets or exceeds DOT and ECE 22.05 The ECE 22.05 (Economic Commission for Europe) standard is quite a bit younger than the current DOT standard, and in many ways offers a more comprehensive battery of testing than its American cousin. ECE standards test for safety features that can contribute to avoiding an accident altogether, such as the optical quality of approved face shields and safety factors not directly related to impact, such as shell rigidity. Unlike the DOT, every ECE 22.05 certified helmet model must actually be tested against the standard by an independent lab before it is available for sale with an ECE sticker. standards
