Variant Helmet: 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 TM 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 HydradryTM liner to effectively reduce heat buildup. In a quad-laned maelstrom inhabited by text streams and twitter feeds. Status updating SUVs intent on unsignaled lane changes. The Variant Salvo maintains a guardian position. It s fluorescent paint and reflective graphics providing visual demarcation amidst the controlled chaos. Oversized optics, carbon reinforced shell, and anti-lift visor serve to further the protective envelope. The urban arena has unkind intentions - strike first.
