DESCRIPTION

AEROFORM

We first used our extensive knowhow, and supporting pressure analysis data, to create a shape with minimal air resistance. We then took that basic design and repeatedly verified and refined it in our in-house wind tunnel testing facilities. The completely redesigned aeroform demonstrates stable aerodynamics even at extremely high speeds exceeding 350 km/h, creating an impression of high-pressure performance capability.

VENTILATION

The X-Fifteen delivers superior ventilation performance compared to the X-Fourteen/X-Spirit III. We have achieved this by deepening the channels of the air routes inside the helmet by more than 1.5 times and by providing the outlet holes in the tunnels of the rear stabilizer.

SHIELD SYSTEM

The X-Fifteen is fitted with the CWR-F2R shield/visor. The CWR-F2R features a center lock system that improves the contact of the shield/visor and window beading to prevent the entry of wind and rain. We have also achieved an impressively clear field of vision by placing the pins for the anti-fog sheets, which share the tear-off buttons, outside the field of vision. This allows the anti-fog sheets to cover almost the entire area when they are installed.

UPPER FIELD OF VISION

We have raised the eye port position of the X-Fifteen by 5 mm compared to the X-Fourteen/X-Spirit III. The shift has expanded the upper field of vision without changing the positioning of the rider’s head inside the helmet or compromising the balance of the field of vision in the vertical direction. MotoGP riders have expressed their appreciation of the wider field of vision, which is also enhanced by the racing position of the cheek pads inherited from the X-Fourteen/X-Spirit III. The improved range of vision contributes to safety during races.

INTERIOR PARTS

We have further improved the split type center pad, expanding the range of adjustment for a better fit. Each of the pad sections is now a pocket type and optional adjustment pads can be used separately to close up any gaps according to the shape of the rider’s head. The pads can also be replaced with ones of different thicknesses. Additionally, we have made the outer layer of the front, rear, left and right pads detachable, allowing them to be removed individually for a looser feel. These improvements enable each rider to better adjust the fit of their helmet.

The cheek pads are also uniquely shaped along the lower edge of the helmet to prevent lift while riding. Meanwhile, the cheek areas themselves are 116% larger than the X-Fourteen/X-Spirit III, providing strong hold with minimal shaking even while traveling at high speed.
