It’s a matter of survival. In an unforgiving maze of gravel–strewn corners and malevolent steel, a rider
needs protection, vision and comfort. The call to arms has been answered. Introducing the ICON Variant
helmet. The wind tunnel-refined shell, executed in a Fiberglass/Dyneema/Carbon matrix, forms a solid
first line of defense. Internally, a dual-density EPS core provides critical Energy Management which
reduces transmitted impact forces.
Of course safety is best maintained by avoiding the crash altogether. To this end, the Variant
features a reshaped eyeport which provides enhanced peripheral vision. The Variant’s unique
visor system also contributes to improved vision. When properly designed, such as on the Variant ,
the visor can help block bright sunlight while producing minimal lift characteristics. Couple this with our
Fog-Free coating and it is obvious why the vision aspects of the Variant are superior.
Another important method of increasing safety is to reduce rider fatigue. Excessive heat buildup can
result in both discomfort and distraction. Neither is a good situation. The Variant’s extensive venting
system works at all speeds, providing necessary airflow to the helmet interior. The airflow works in
conjunction with the wicking Hydradry liner to effectively reduce heat buildup.
