Shoei Qwest Ascend Full Face Helmet

Shoei Qwest Ascend Full Face Helmet - Features

• AIM+ shell construction: Shoei's proprietary AIM+ technology combines fiberglass with organic fibers that are so strong they can only be cut with a laser. The end result is a stronger, lighter shell that will absorb and distribute the force of an impact safely and efficiently
• Aerodynamic properties are maximized through extensive wind tunnel and professional riders’ feedback
• Dual-layer EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) liner: Dual layer liner yields enhanced impact absorption by adjusting thickness and density in key areas. Inner liner features air channels for efficient cooling. Impact-absorbing EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) liner throughout the entire chin bar
• 5 shell sizes: While some competitors rely on foam padding for fitting a wide range of customers, Shoei offers five shell sizes to ensure a custom fit for heads between the sizes of XS-XXL
• Q.R.S.A. (Quick Release Self-Adjusting) base plate system: Need to change from clear to tint? Shoei's Quick Release Self-Adjusting (QRSA) base plate system includes a locking mechanism that allows you to do just that in a snap—no tools, no hassle, no problems! Shoei's spring loaded technology featured in the QRSA eliminates the need to adjust base plates for proper sealing. Every time the shield is lowered, the spring-loaded base plates pull the shield back to contact the window beading evenly, ensuring a wind and waterproof seal
• Shell-Integrated Spoiler: New shell forming technology created during the development of Shoei's groundbreaking VFX-W motocross helmet has allowed Shoei to eliminate the need for a plastic spoiler on the QWEST. This technology has allowed Shoei to incorporate the aerodynamic advantages of a spoiler into the shell of the helmet, while maintaining consistent shell thickness to guarantee proper strength and weight. This shell-integrated spoiler works to reduce lift during high-speed riding, just like the spoiler on a sports car
• Ventilation system: Utilizing Shoei’s wind tunnel to help reveal the optimal balance between airflow and silence, Shoei engineers equipped the QWEST with a larger Lower Vent Shutter for easier use with riding gloves; a strategically positioned Upper Vent for optimal air intake, and uniquely positioned Upper Exhaust Vents to take better advantage of negative pressure suction — all yielding dramatically improved cool air intake and hot air expulsion
• Breath Guard: Can be inserted into the upper edge of the chin bar to help reduce fogging by diverted exhausted breath down out the bottom of the helmet
• Interior System: Equipped with a fully removable, washable, and replaceable 3D center pad and multi-layer cheek pads. The 3D center pad components are three dimensionally shaped to match the contours of a rider's head. This 3D fitment allows Shoei to provide a helmet with an extremely comfortable fit, while maintaining the firm hold that is necessary for distraction-free, high-speed riding. In addition, the liner features eyeglass channels and an integrated neck pad
• CW-1 shield: Both wider and taller than the CX-IV that it replaces. In addition, the CW-1 shield protects Shoei riders from 99% of the sun's damaging UVA and UVB rays, and Shoei's three dimensional injection molding process ensures distortion free vision. Another advantage of the CW-1 shield is its ability to work in conjunction with Shoei's optional Pinlock system to deliver fog-free vision in even the most challenging conditions. The new CW-1 Pinlock lens is larger, and offers fog-free viewing to the very top of the helmet's larger eye port
• Eyeglass compatible interior
• The spring loaded base plate (US patent pending 11/799935) pulls the shield back to contact the window beading evenly and ensures a proper seal
• A pre-set lever can easily lock the shield in place to prevent the shield from unexpectedly opening, as well as prop the shield open to increase airflow
• Black/Silver
• Meets Snell M2010 and D.O.T. standards
