Features Interior Fit Shape Intermediate oval VAS Shield Mechanism New VAS mechanism with a variable axis incorporating a moving pivot point By combining the pin trajectory, which is based on an imaginary axis, with the two trajectories of the double pivot point slot, the shield opens and closes smoothly even with the much lower shield mount position A dual-function lever releases both the side cover/pod and shield pin for quick and simple shield removal Improved Shield Latch VAS latch captures and securely holds the shield closed to help prevent unexpected opening In addition to the de-mist function, the larger latch allows for intuitive and seamless shield operation Diffuser Type 12 Diffusers are 20mm longer and take in 19% more air than the previous design New air intake vents have three positions and are designed to help provide improved sealing which decreases road noise and water intrusion VAS Max-Vision (BV) Shield VAS Max-Vision shield is standard to provide better visibility in all seasons and for all types of riding A clear Pinlock insert is standard with the Corsair-X Chin Curtain New chin curtain accentuates the egg-shaped form of the outer shell Blocks the intrusion of turbulent air from the underside of the helmet and increases negative pressure to enhance the function of the chin vent by drawing more air from the mouth area Improved Glance-Off Ability VAS pivot cover is now smaller and lower than the previous design, yielding an average of 24mm more area above the cover The shell is now smoother along the Snell test line in the temple area, thus increasing the helmet's ability to glance off objects during an impact Compared with the shell of the Corsair-V, the smooth area around the temple is increased by an average of 24mm on the new VAS model PB-SNC2 Shell Created from super fiber and special synthetic fibers, and assembled by Arai experts, the shell provides both superb tensile strength and flexibility characteristics A variety of carefully placed materials, combined with newly developed resins result in strong shells with less weight
