The Shakki helmet adorned with many Japanese mythological elements. Each element features a character that represents trait or story. Endurance: The Monk Mongaku tests his spiritual sincerity by standing under an ice cold waterfall. Exposure to the frigid water almost kills him, but he perseveres showing his mental and physical endurance. Bravery: Kintaro, also know as the Golden Boy, roamed the forests of norther Japan. He was renowned for his strength and mastery of the wild. Often his bravery is depicted by wrestling the feared giant carp. Raijin: With his ability to create the most powerful storms, Raijin rains down deafing thunder from his multitude of drums. Usually depicted as red demon, he is both feared and admired as a predominate deity in the Shinto religion. Fujin: Shouldering his bag of wind, the disheveled Fujin has the power to to both create and destroy. As the god of wind, he is among the oldest of the Shinto gods, and helped create the world itself.
Evolved & refined. Icon has never been satisfied with the status quo - which is why we created the new Icon AllianceTM helmet. Based on the proven Alliance SSR, this nextgen helmet is fitted with a multitude of key refinements. The first revision is the new EPS liner. We’ve listened to the customers’ requests and reshaped the EPS liner into a more oval geometry. This new headform increases rider comfort by slightly elongating the entire inner circumference. Combine this geometry with our removable Hydra-Dry™ wicking comfort liner and the result is a nearly perfect rider-focused enclosure.
To further increase rider comfort, they've revised the entire venting system. Much like a finely tuned motor, we’ve reshaped and enlarged the intake and exhaust ports for increased airflow. Additional ventilation ports have also been added to the lateral aspect of the helmet to further increase ventilation. The shield itself has been upgraded to Icon’s distortion-free Pro-Shield™. The Pro-Shield™ features the ProLock™ shield locking system, graphic enabled sideplates, fog-free coating, and a no-tools shield change interface. Continuing with our commitment to excellence, the Alliance is constructed with premier manufacturing processes and stringent quality assurance procedures. This, combined with rigorous testing, assures that the Alliance meets or exceeds the high safety standards set by DOT,ECE,SG and SAI.
