Shoei VFX-WR 06 Black

Shoei VFX-WR 06 - High-end motocross helmet for demanding riders

The next-generation motocross helmet from Shoei's racing DNA

Shoei makes a stunning return to the off-road segment with the VFX-WR 06, the direct evolution of its best-selling VFX-W, now compliant with ECE 22.06 standards. Rethought from A to Z, this top-of-the-range motocross helmet is not a simple update, but a complete overhaul designed to push back the limits of performance, safety and comfort.

With its new AIM+ shell, combining organic fiberglass, multifibers and superimposed composite layers, the VFX-WR 06 offers a reinforced structure, both rigid and lightweight, designed to withstand the most violent impacts. Its radical, aggressive design leaves nothing to chance: integrated spoilers, sharpened profile, protruding jaw... everything is optimized for aerodynamics and high-intensity off-road riding.

But it's above all in the field of safety that Shoei strikes hard. Thanks to M.E.D.S. (Motion Energy Distribution System) technology, the three-part internal pad incorporates a central moving element to reduce the rotational energy transmitted to the brain in the event of a fall, a major advance in the motocross world.

Extreme comfort, maximum ventilation and uncompromising finish

This premium motocross helmet leaves nothing to be desired in terms of comfort. Its Max-Dry 3D fabric interior is not only soft and hypoallergenic, but also ultra-breathable, rapidly wicking away moisture to keep you dry during exertion. Of course, all foams are detachable and washable, as is the Max-Dry chinstrap cover. In the event of an accident, the EQRS system enables quick and safe removal thanks to the removable cheekpads.

In terms of vision, Shoei offers a new, extra-wide visor, perfectly integrated and designed to provide effective protection from the sun's rays and splashes. Ventilation has also been reworked, with a high-performance air circulation system: several front and top vents, combined with extractors located at the back and nape of the neck.

The result: an elite helmet for committed riders, ready for any situation, from the MX track to technical trail riding in the forest. The VFX-WR 06 comes complete with mudguard, helmet bag and removable breath guard.
