MOBILITY liberated
For over a decade the Variant
TM
helmet has defined
aggressive street riding. Now, with a refined fit, improved
function, and lighter weight, we introduce the much
anticipated Variant Pro
TM
. The wind tunnel refined shell is
designed to reduce drag and buffeting, couple that with
a dual density EPS core which provides critical energy
management while maintaining a slim profile.
The Variant’s Pro unique toolless shield change system is
as effortless as it is intuitive. The two stage process allows
you to swap shields in a matter of seconds, removing all
guesswork, and gets you back riding where you belong.
Once there, the shield’s Fog-Free coating comes into play,
keeping your field of vision clear on rainy or cold riding
days.
Internally, the traditional three-piece liner has been
upgraded to a five-piece liner, providing a greater amount
of fitment combinations for each unique head shape.
Crown, lateral, fore and aft padding components allow
for 27 fitment combinations in a single shell. The Vartiant
Pro’s extensive venting system works at all speeds, providing
necessary airflow to the helmet interior. The airflow works in
conjunction with the sweat wicking Hydradry
TM
liner to effectively
reduce heat build up.
