It is light and functional, and it is also good for long trips.

•”A-FORCE RS” of the full face type

The A-FORCE RS that is made of carbon has gained popularity at a surprisingly low price range to 30,000 yen.

RS, which is equipped with a new inner visor, and open face model RS-JET, which can be installed with chin guard, is expected to be released in September. It is very rare for it comes with a visor for open face carbon shell model.

•A-FORCE RS JET

A-FORCE RS is an affordable carbon helmet.
Good performance for cruising.

•Price: 42,120 yen (Tax Included)
•Size: M / L / XL

First RS Test

In addition, the whole head suitably fits in giving you a feeling of comfort and there is no stress when looking at the left and right directions or facing head straight.

I was also deeply impressed by its aerodynamic performance. With approximately 100km/h cruising, there was no lift or shake of helmet. I could hear the sounds of the surroundings comparatively, but there was no uncomfortable wind noise.

Carbon helmet with inner visor is finally released, with a lot of request by riders.

The A-FORCE RS JET is also lightweight and fatigue-free.

•Price: 41,040 yen (Tax included)
•Size: M / L / XL

On the other hand, the JET is light in motion, and also has a good stability. There is a little sense of air resistance and lift, in addition to its fitment that further holding in the lower part of the cheek.
In addition, while the jet type, wind passes through my face avoiding the nose and the eye. Jet type helmet is disadvantageous at high speed riding, but A-FORCE RS JET makes it easy.

JET can be installed with chin guard sold separately(Approximate price: 4,212 yen), allowing you to change the style according to your preference while keeping a wide view and a sense of openness.

For Dry Carbon Shell

Like the A-FORCE RS, the shell is composed of a 6-layer structure shell made of lightweight and high-rigidity carbon fiber and kevlar with their own molding technology.

•The dry carbon shell is stabilized by the proprietary press method to improve the impact resistance and the dispersibility.The safety is maintained and the weight is reduced.The shape is also a new design and the wind tunnel experiment is repeated.

Generally, the helmet with the built-in visor is heavily weighted and enlarged due to the function.
However, RS is 1,400g in actual measurement and JET is 1,260g in L-size.
1250g ± 50g from A-FORCE, it is surprisingly great that it is light weight that is far less than the weight of other manufacturers’ products without a visor.
The size of the shell is comparatively compact with the visor.

The equipment is the same in full face and open face model.

A new head-to-head crown duct with center-type design has significantly improved ventilation performance compared to the A-force with left-right split duct.

As with the front, the rear ducts are also open and closed, so you can operate them with wearing gloves, as well as ventilation holes on both sides of the rear boom.

With the one-touch type buckle, it is easy to attach and detach the helmet. Because of the slider, the tightening can be freely adjusted.

The liner is made of super dry cloth, which can not permeate or smell. It can also be adjusted for glasses by attaching and detaching the inner sponge.

Ultra light weight even with visor

•It is lighter than the normal helmet with RS and JET in actual measurement,while the built-in visor is adopted. RS has mirror coated visor and JET has smoke colored visor standardly.

•Pressing the lever on the left side of the helmet, you can oparate visor. You can change your view instantly. Other colored visor is sold optionally.

On 2 models, the visor can be instantly turned on and off with the lever operation on the left side. While the position is slightly shallow, it prevents sunshine much more and ensures a clearer view if necessary.

I tried to ride on the pass or the highway for the whole day. The situation was changing every moment, the visor helped me greatly and the fatigue of the neck was very light. This can be recommended those who want to enjoy the sporty riding and the touring comfortably. I would recommend JET to those who want more lightness, or RS if the main use is high-speed riding.
