Product Description

Shoei Safety Helmet Corporation prides itself in producing the best helmets that technology will allow, and never before has that been more evident than with the all-new VFX-W.
The absolute pinnacle of all off-road helmets, the VFX-W is the result of countless hours of conceptualization, R&D, and testing with the most hard-nosed critics of all, our professional racing team.
Drenched with state of the art new features, no stone was left unturned during its development. With safety, performance, comfort, and styling all critical factors, the VFX-W is perfect in every detail, as it ushers in the future of helmet technology with the type of quality that only Shoei is known for.

    AIM+ Shell Construction
  • Shoei's proprietary AIM+ technology. This process combines fiberglass with organic fibers that are so strong that 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.
  • Dual-Layer EPS 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 liner throughout the entire chin bar.
  • V-430 "Sleek" Visor
  • Developed by Shoei's sponsored riders.
  • Lengthened for additional protection from sun and roost.
  • Adjustment slot lengthened for greater versatility.
  • Plastic hardware is utilized for easier visor breakaway during impact.
  • Includes a matte black strip to reduce glare.
  • 3D Max-Dry Liner System
  • Polyurethane foam pads are three dimensionally formed for a perfect fit.
  • Proprietary synthetic fiber absorbs and exhausts sweat 2X faster than conventional nylon.
  • Liner is removable, adjustable, and washable.
  • Emergency Quick Release System (EQRS)
  • Mechanical tabs disengage cheek pads for easy removal by emergency medical personnel.
  • Helmet can be removed with minimum load to rider in emergency situations.
  • Ventilation System
  • Improved air intakes are located in mouthpiece, forehead, and through scoops directing air into EPS liner.
  • Seven exhaust ports dispel hot air from the rear of the helmet.
  • Vent openings are covered by wire mesh to prevent dirt from entering liner.
  • "Sleek" Mouthpiece
  • Wire mesh screen helps prevent roost from entering the mouthpiece.
  • A strip of AIM+ shell material reinforces mesh screen and helps to reduce chances of larger intrusions.
  • Sleek mouthpiece directs cooling air through a removable and washable foam filter.
  • 5-Year Warranty
  • 5-Year Warranty From Purchase Date. 7-Year Warranty From Helmet Manufacture Date. Whichever comes first.

Shoei makes some of the best helmets money can buy
2 days ago, I had a bad crash at Glen Helen raceway. The helmet is now toast, but it saved my head in the process. I won't wear any other brand of helmets anymore.

The helmet looks great, and I'm sure it is. The problem that I had was the cheek pads. They were very tight. I am a very average 6'0" 180lbs. The thing is they have the pads to make a better fit , but they are another $39 plus shipping. I can't see why it doesn't come with some options for size in the face for $600+. Your neck brace comes with lots of parts to make sure of a correct fit. I've had several better fitting helmets for $300.

I love this helmet
By far the best helmet I have owned. This is my second time buying the same model, not because my old one is worn out, just because one is white and one is black..I have had my white one for quite a while and it holds up awesome. If you are going to crash with a helmet, this is hands down the one you want! The fit is excellent, it is easy to take apart liner for cleaning, and it always looks good.

What It Is

Regarded by many as the industry standard when it comes to helmets, the Shoei VFX-W boasts numerous innovative design features that make it one of the safest helmets in the business. The shell is manufactured out of a combination of fiberglass with organic fibers, while the dual-layer EPS liner helps to absorb impacts better. For added safety, the EPS is integrated into the chin bar. The liner is fully removable and designed to soak up sweat during hot days. Lastly, the cheek pads feature an Emergency Quick Release System that allows both cheek pads to drop out easily in the event of a nasty crash that requires the helmet to be removed.

Hits

We have long been huge fans of Shoei helmets, and the new VFX-W is no different. The quality and comfort is second to none, and the new graphics are some of the coolest on the market. Many of the members of the TWMX staff have crash tested the VFX-W and walked away safely, as the dual-layer EPS liner absorbs impacts well and the helmet as a whole can withstand quite a bit. I've also found that I can wear the VFX-W for long periods of time without pressure points or discomfort. As a small side note, I'm a big fan of many of the colorways, including the new Metal Mulisha (pictured here), and Kevin Windham replica designs.

Misses

The cheek pads tend to sit a little too far forward on my cheeks, however, I have become used to this.

The Verdict

For me, wearing a safe helmet is my number-one priority while riding, and the VFX-W is one of the safest you can buy. Highquality construction sets it apart from many of the helmets out there, making it one of the most well built pieces of head protection you can buy. On a regular basis, I only go to the track with my VFX-W.
