OGK Kabuto Flex-Air Helmet
The lightweight model with ultimate comfort and cooling performance. Based on the concept that "lightweight is the ultimate sphere", a sphere-based exterior design was designed in pursuit of "lightweight".
The shape has been stripped down to the bare minimum, and the shell has been hollowed out in order to realise the development concept of lightweight, even if only slightly. Furthermore, a weight reduction of 8.8g has been achieved by reviewing the component structure of the conventional top model gram by gram.
In addition to weight reduction, the "floating structure" and "KBF-2 adjuster", which have been proven in previous models, have been adopted for comfort performance.
The KBF-2 adjuster, featuring fine adjustment and uniform tightening for a good feeling, fits securely to different head shapes, and the large-diameter dial of the Boa® Fit System allows instant adjustment and easy operation.
In the floating structure, the newly equipped Y-shaped top pad "Air Flow Pad" reduces the contact area between the helmet and head, air routes are secured by floating the helmet from the head improving ventilation performance and contributing to weight reduction. The riding position and air hole angle have also been optimised to provide efficient airflow to cool the head and reducing discomfort during prolonged wear.
In-house wind tunnel tests have demonstrated that the air-cooling effect is up to 8% higher than that of helmets in the same class. The sharpened 'lightness' and further evolved 'comfort performance' demonstrate high performance from the toughest race scenes to every riding.
