AEROBLADE-3 which gained popularity with overwhelming lightness and aerodynamic goodness have been completely revamped. Comfort of new model has been improved in all directions, including the shell which achieved further light weight and compactness.

Price: 34,560 yen [Tax Included]　
•Size: XS / S / M / L / XL / XXL

Thorough pursuit of “Light!”

As a full face model for touring, AEROBLADE were developed with emphasis on lightness and aerodynamics. “5” is the successor of “3” which became a hit. It is very light when taken in hand.
That should be that, while the general full face is around 1,500g to 1,700g (L size), it is only 1450g actually measured.

•The actual weight is 1450g. It is lighter than the RT33 which is 1556g.

In addition to A.C.T.- of the high strength composite material, the helmet body was optimized in strength by structural analysis. It is compatible with safety that clear JIS standard with margin and overwhelming lightness.

Even when putting on it, the lightness of the shell stands out as well. Fitting is comfortable, especially a good feeling of support of the back of the head is a good impression..
The elaborate liner such as using sportswear-like yellow lines and turnover is good, and the feel of cool max material is also comfortable.

When opening the duct in riding at 15 degrees Celsius, air flows along the inside of the shield from the mouth, and the wind feels even above the forehead. They introduced CFD (three-dimensional numerical fluid analysis) software and analyzed the flow of the wind inside the helmet, but it was effective enough.

The Side Outlet Trim that releases hot air from the cheek pad side by negative pressure is also effective. At a temperature of 30-degrees, the accumulation of heat from the cheeks to the ears was relieved, after teking off the helmet, the sweat of the cheek pads was clearly less than the usual helmet.

Patent aerodynamic form! Ventilation system also enriched!

•The Wake Stabilizer controls the turbulence of the air and suppresses the shaking by the wind on the straight forward riding. and the straight riding. Although the exhaust duct is always open type, there is no infiltration of rainwater.

Likewise, the helmet body whose shape was determined by CFD is outstanding stability. I feel peaceful around 100km/h. And, of course, when you go straight ahead, you will not get shaky or floating up even if you turn your head to the side. It was adopted a shield that further enhanced hermeticity, the quietness is also improved from the previous model.
In addition to excellent aero effect, due to good hold feeling and lightness, obviously neck and shoulders after long riding was also comfortable.

Devices for “noise-free!”

There is no unpleasant wind noise even if putting on a helmet and riding. In addition, it has a biaxial structure with spring to crimp the shield, a new shape edge rubber and a highly sealed shield to improve quietness.

the shield is center lock type. The newly adopted center lock type shield has a structure that hardly creates a gap by applying force evenly to the left and right. The lever is large and operability with the glove is also good.

The buckle is a ratchet type.

Also, in town riding and touring scenes, the ease of attaching and detaching is useful. Pulling the chin strap to the left and right causes the opening to spread widely, so that the ear will not hit.
Together with a one-touch buckle, it is nice that you do not get tired of putting off and putting on.

•In response to the user’s request, it was changed from the D-ring in previous model to the micro ratchet buckle. It is safe in double action type, and it can be detached with one touch.

This buckle and shield lock reflects the requests from the user to each part, and the usability is surely improved.
Pin Lock Sheet to suppress fogging in the shield can be installed (sold separatly. 3,240 yen).

In addition to the latest technologies such as CFD, Aeroblade-5 has evolved normally without compromising the whole. With this content, we can say “it is very affordable” in the 30,000-yen range.
