THE WORLD’S FINEST ADVENTURE HELMET – ACCORDING TO SHOEI
Shoei Hornet ADV helmet. Price – From $879.90 – $999.90

The new Hornet Adventure helmet has been designed to maintain peak performance in every environment,without compromising the core values of a long distance touring helmet.

Striking the optimal balance between on-and off-road form and function is no easy task, and the Hornet ADV is designed to redefine the meaning of a true all-road, all-element helmet.

Even at a glance, it’s easy to see that the Hornet ADV is a true hybrid between a premium road and off-road helmets. The mouthpiece and chin bar area and newly designed peak incorporate the best features from both worlds. The Hornet Adventure’s shape was designed to improve air intake and ventilation performance,reduce drag and lift, and improve stability, all the while giving the rider the additional air space needed to accommodate heavy breathing during demanding off-road riding.

The new Hornet ADV Adventure helmet is available this month in sizes XS to XXL in 4 solid colours and 3 graphic designs. Visit your local bike shop or www.mcleodaccessories.com.au

RIDE TO THE SUN
Arai Pro-Shade System Price – From $119.95
