SHOEI Z-7 VARIABLE Black Silver

SHOEI Z-7 VARIABLE Features
Shield System
The shield system of the Z-7 VARIABLE keeps the riderÂ’s face protected against wind, dirt, and harmful UV rays. With 3D injection molding, this shield system provides a distortion-free view for the user.
Improved Ventilation
To enhance the helmet ventilation for the Z-7 VARIABLE, two layers of EPS liner are present. These allow for air to go through its tunnels to effectively exchange humid air with one thatÂ’s cool and refreshing.
SHOEI made use of the in-house wind tunnel to improve the ventilation of the Z-7 VARIABLE helmet. The company continuously develops and maintains the balance between airflow and silence to provide quality products to the riders.
Design, Build, and Parts of the SHOEI Z-7 VARIABLE
Aerodynamic Shape
The Z-7 VARIABLE comes with improved aerodynamics to eliminate stress caused by wind pressure. This feature helps reduce the total weight of the helmet when worn, which helps in increasing comfort too.
AIM Shell
The helmetÂ’s outer shell is made of FRP or fiberglass. For its shape, it is achieved using a heat-setting plastic resin. AIM also integrates organic fibers and 3D shaping for the Z-7 VARIABLE to have a durable yet lightweight shell.
AIM shell consists of a variety of organic and glass fiber layers. Unlike outer shells made of glass fibers only, the AIM exterior shell is lighter and more elastic. Additionally, itÂ’s also more flexible and resistant due to its special fibers.
PINLOCK EVO Lens
The PINLOCK EVO Lens effectively eliminates fog to keep the riderÂ’s view clear even in low temperatures. ItÂ’s a standard feature for all helmets under the Z-7 series.
Certifications and Warranties
For safety certifications, the SHOEI Z-7 VARIABLE helmet meets the Japanese Industrial Standards or JIS. ItÂ’s covered by a 5-year limited warranty, like all helmets from the company.
