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
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
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 energy
MULTI-PLY MATRIX AIM+ SHELL
Proprietary technology integrates a six-ply matrix
Hand-laid interwoven layers of fiberglass with lightweight organic and high-performance fibers
SHOEI’s strongest, lightest, most elastic shell provides optimal impact absorption
CHIN BAR EPS
High-quality EPS liner material throughout entire chin bar for enhanced impact absorption
SHELL DESIGN + AERODYNAMICS
Exclusive, state-of-the-art shell forming technology
Incorporates the aerodynamic advantages of a spoiler into the shell
Consistent shell thickness guarantees proper strength and weight
Shell-integrated goggle channel forms a perfect goggle retention system
LARGE EYEPORT
Provides a massive peripheral field of vision
Large eyeport facilitates oversized goggles
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
ADVANCED MOUTHPIECE
Equal parts style, functionality and safety
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
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
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
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 liner material absorbs and dissipates sweat 2X faster than traditional nylon interiors
Soft yet durable lower cheek pad fabric for a plush fit and feel
Multi-layer cheek pads for maximum comfort and superior helmet stabilization
Three-dimensionally shaped to match the contours of a rider’s head
