FOX V3 Carbon
Thanks to our friends at Monza Imports,
our TeamMoto Triumph Springwood Business Manager Shane has been
experiencing the thrill of flying through the air with the new 2010 FOX
V3 Carbon helmet. An avid motocrosser, Shane expects the best from his
gear and was more than happy to put the V3 Carbon to the test. While the TeamMoto crew were out at Black
Duck Valley last weekend, I had the chance to start testing the new Fox
V3 Carbon helmet. I will be doing a more in depth review after riding
in it a little more, but my first impressions are really positive.
The first thing
you notice when you pick it up is the weight. The carbon helmet is a
lot lighter in your hands and on your head than any regular helmet. A
new helmet always takes a little getting used to, especially as they
all sit against neck braces differently.
The Fox V3 Carbon feels very open when
you put it on. The view is relatively unobstructed and the interior
padding feels as if it makes very little contact with your head. This
is due to the wide venting channels in the lining. The feeling of a
very light helmet, combined with a reduced contact area feels strange
at first, but when I swapped back to my Arai after about an hour, I
noticed that it felt very heavy and constrictive in comparison.

The liner is made from Coolmax, which is
a nice touch, and it is a material that really does wick moisture away
very effectively, helping to keep the helmet dry. The venting seems to
work very well, as you can readily feel air moving through the helmet.
I will give you my thoughts after a few more hours of riding, but so
far I could say that I could easily get used to the lighter feel of
this helmet. Hopefully there will be no crash test! - Shane
Lightweight with great safety features, a
modified interior for a more comfortable fit and trick aesthetics
complete the V3 Carbon package and prove that, even though it may be
more expensive than other V3 helmets (RRP $599), it's definitely worth
"it's weight in gold" (not literally, but you get the idea!). You can
also purchase this new carbon V3 in Limited Edition Monster Energy
Ricky Carmichael graphics.
Stay tuned next month for an update of how the helmet is going long term. For more information on the Fox V3 Carbon, click here to contact your local TeamMoto store.
