Motorcycle Off-Road Helmet Description |
The Hornet DS is Shoei’s first Dual Sport helmet,
for riders seeking the flexibility of a full face
road helmet that can hold its own in the dirt.
Featuring a redesigned shield, AIM+ shell structure,
wind tunnel-tested aerodynamics, cooling
ventilation, wide visibility and a comfortable,
lightweight
fit. Shoei’s Hornet DS offers a whole new swarm of
possibilities for dual sport, dual purpose,
adventure tour and supermoto riders.
Designed for the adventure touring and dual sport
market, the Shoei Hornet DS can be used in three
configurations: with visor and shield, with just
shield, or with just visor.
3-Step Open/Close Shield
The Hornet’s rigid, 2 mm thick polycarbonate shield
conforms to the complex shape of the shell, and
provides a wide, minimally reflective radius of
clear visibility. The shield’s exclusive window
beading performs two functions: a tight closure and
maximum deflection of wind while riding.
Four Shell Sizes, Plus Two-Layer Liner
AIM+ (Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus), a
high-performance combination of new and advanced
shell materials, produces a lightweight shell with
increased rigidity and elasticity. This reduces
inertia and impact in the event of an accident and
provides a very comfortable ride. The shell of the
Hornet DS is available in four sizes to assure
proper fitting per every helmet size.
Nose Cover Design
Combines a uniquely aggressive appearance with a
shutter mechanism which allows ventilation to the
mouth area as well as reducing inner shield fogging.
Aerodynamic Visor
The Hornet’s visor is positioned slightly higher
than on typical motocross helmets so as not to
interfere with visibility. Its unique wedge shape
also aids in the overall aerodynamic performance,
minimizing drag and lift while riding.
3D Max Dry System
The fully removable, washable interior assembly
utilizes moisture absorbing fibers and high textured
mesh to help skin stay dry. All parts work together
to fit tightly around the head, while slits in the
cheek pad allow for comfortable wearing of
eyeglasses. The included chin curtain adds riding
comfort by diminishing rolling that can result from
high wind pressure.
Ventilation Technology
A newly-designed upper intake in the visor works
with the forehead vent to provide more comfort in
high wind riding conditions. Cooling inside the
helmet is further provided by cross vortex
ventilation, passing hot air through the liner
utilizing negative air pressure against the shell.
The hot air is exhausted through the helmet’s rear
neck outlet.
