V3's look like they just rolled in from Aliexpress, and were the cheapest ones to choose from.
Probably the ugliest helmet I have ever seen.

The Shop
Fly Formula is $649
6D ATR-2 is $695
Shoei VFX-EVO $679-699
Bell Flex is $649.99
So my comparison doesn't really work for RRP.
Will they release any safety data or is this just a cool helmet for insta bangers?
I really want to see a comparison between Fox, Fly, 6D and Bell to see which really is the best.
1. Is the price set to compete out the other top tech helmets, or is it reduced due to the two shell design? (Assuming there is some manufacturing optimization that helps save money). I guess my question is why is the price lower, and why are these other companies not able to reach that price point? Is it the materials?
2. How does environmental factors effect the performance of the FI pods? Helmets can get hot on the inside, does this have an effect on the fluid dynamics/properties? What if it's cold out? I'm guessing the mineral oil is only effected by temperatures too extreme to expect? This has been one thing I have always thought about with the 6D and now the Fly is how those energy management systems that are primarily some sort of rubber material deal with environmental factors.
3. In the age of information, why did Fox decide not to provide any testing data such as TLD, FLY, and 6D have done to shown proven results? Is there any data they will be providing to prove the the FI system actually works and is not some marketing strategy? Or was there less emphasis on funds in testing it against the competitors?
4. How do the pods react to contact with water? Can they be wet/dried multiple times without any adverse effects to it's performance? I like to use a low pressure garden house to rinse out my helmets from time to time.
5. What comes with this helmet? Extra visor? Premium helmet carry case? Cloth helmet bag? Could the negation of these extras (if they are not included) attribute to the reduced price. Personally, I could care less about the bulky carry case and extra visor if it means the price is lower. I like to see the price war starting to happen.
