The helmet for every road,Hornet X2.V460 VISORThe Hornet X2s allnew V460 visor spent countless development hours in SHOEIs wind tunnel and on the road to perfect the proper balance between aerodynamics and traditional visor functionality. The innovative wedge shape along with strategically placed vent louvers allow wind to pass through unobstructed during highspeed riding,ultimately reducing lift and drag. Along with superior aerodynamic qualities,the V460s shape was strategically designed to push air into the Hornet X2s upper air intake for optimal cooling,all the while maintaining its fundamental purpose of providing sunshade and roost protection during offroad riding.Rounding out the V460s innovative features,easytooperate quarterturn screws allow for quick removal and installation of the visor without the need for special tools.CNS2 SHIELDQRN BASE PLATEAlong with the Hornet X2s large eye port,SHOEIs allnew CNS2 shield offers unparalleled vision across the entire optical range. In addition to protecting against 99 of the suns damaging UV rays,the CNS2 shield offers a distortionfree view thanks to SHOEIs 3D injectionmolding process. Additionally,an innovative rib on the top edge of the shield improves rigidity and eliminates bending that may occur during opening and closing.Coupled with the allnew CNS2 shield,the Hornet X2s QRN base plate system facilitates quick and efficient shield changes for easy adaptation during your journey. The strengthened springloaded base plates pull the shield back against the improved window beading to ensure a dust,wind and waterproof seal with each and every closure. A new shield locking mechanism rounds out the Hornet X2s advanced shield system.VENTILATIONA wellventilated helmet is essential to dualsport riding and the many challenges it can present thanks to varying speeds,weather conditions,and levels of physical exertion. During the design process of the Hornet X2,SHOEI utilized its stateoftheart wind tunnel facility to help develop the optimal balance between airflow,silence,and functionality. Equipped with a large,multiposition lower air intakedefroster optimized for fresh air inhalation and clear vision,two shuttercontrolled upper air vents for optimal air intake and head cooling,four uniquelypositioned rear exhaust outlets to take better advantage of negative pressure suction,and three neck outlet vents work together to yield unrivaled coolair intake and hotair expulsion.3D MAXDRY INTERIOR SYSTEM IIThe Hornet X2 is equipped with a fully removable,washable,and replaceable 3D MaxDry Interior System II.
