Airoh isn't a major street brand with their products focused on off-road. Nonetheless, they were actually one of the initial brands to pass the new homologation. While SUOMY, arguably one of the top 5 brands with Shoei, Arai, Shark and HJC failed to pass their new helmet and Dovizioso had to wear a rebranded Shoei...just saying...

He asked in regards to the pitbits picture.

That is the old V3! As mentioned: A new one is coming in May...

And yes that one was on Instagram yesterday...But no...I wouldn't consider it anywhere close to the SM8/SM10. Airflow will be on a whole nother level.

It's the old V3 (pre 2018) where the visor was still attached by screws. However, as far as I know something new is coming during the outdoors.

You can check out Yahey 772's twitter if you want. He's at the first round of the japanese championship and is the guy that posted the first pictures of the 19 KX450 last year. No new KX250 on hand (as far as I know they don't have a factory 250 team in Japan), but the CR Electric Proto...

Give us an update when you have it mounted. I'd love to know if its the new spec with longer headpipe that Swap has on his bike.

I`ve seen this job opening for the last couple months on KTM`s website: http://www.ktmgroup.com/en/careers/Jobs/quality-management/head-of-qual… As soon as they find someone they should be fine.

Problem with that: Tooling for injection molded plastics can easily cost up to 50-100k $/piece. Don`t think Kawi would pay that just to disguise it for 2/3 race events max. And comparing to the current plastics, the shrouds and numberplates are similar but definitely not the same.

Two more, just the right side: 外装もこんなんだっけ… pic.twitter.com/qfFom9TeE6— やへー (@yahey772) 18. März 2018 Seems the Airbox intake will only be on the left side and therefore bigger intake hole. Shrouds seem almost identical to current gen. But damn the whole intake and number plate part looks so weird. Also: the exhaust is basically completely uncovered by the number plates. Who...

The SHIFT brand only sells entry-level boots and helmets. Pro Riders usually market the top-level gear. That is why you won`t see them wear it. Furthermore, sales numbers for Shift are most likely not big enough for FOX to divert resources into developing different top-level protection apart from the Instinct and V3 as Protective devices usually require a lot more...
