MotoAmerica Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Video of 2016 Bell Pro Star Tech Video Most interesting feature about the 2016 Bell Helmets Pro Star that you can't see? That would be its Flex Impact Liner. Adopted from the Moto-9 Flex motocross helmet, this "progressive layering" system features three different materials intended to protect the wearer against low-, medium-, and high-speed, plus rotational, impacts. Other distinctive attributes of this new lightweight full-face helmet: Carbon-fiber shell is reinforced by TeXtreme, a thin carbon weave said to be 20 percent lighter than conventional carbon. VIRUS CoolJade power mesh liner allegedly reduces skin surface temperatures up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Magnefusion magnetic cheek-pad system affords easy removal of the pads for washing or by first responders in an emergency. Panovision Viewport offers increased lateral and vertical visibility when the wearer is riding in a racing tuck. “Our engineers not only addressed core needs," Bell Helmets VP Chris Sackett said, "but developed a helmet that redefines performance, safety standards, and offers truly game-changing innovations. “We’re offering six EPS liners along with five shell sizes for a more proportional fit and improved performance. Further, there will be three helmets within the Star Series—Pro Star, Race Star, Star—to match your riding style.” When the Pro Star becomes available later this year, the Snell M2015-, DOT-, ECE 22.05-, and AS/NZ-certified helmet will range in price from $1199.95 to $1299.95.
