Fly Racing Gear Review: Combining Style and Function

Their 4-stage sole design was created to remain lightweight without losing grip, comfort or protection. The four stages include a perforated plush insole, an injected midsole featuring a fishbone design and a steel shank, a fishbone foam layer and an anti-vibration molded traction sole. The fishbone design within the second layer is tough and impressively lightweight, making it a unique and innovative touch. Fly Racing has improved upon this popular classic without reducing anything that sparked its original popularity.

Fly’s Impact Energy Cells, enhanced with RHEON, make up the Formula’s first line of defense. With the help of RHEON, an innovative viscoelastic material, Fly’s Impact Energy Cells enhance energy dissipation on impact through seven strategically placed energy cells in the helmet’s interior. For the Formula Helmet’s second act in protection, Fly has paired their patented Conehead EPS technology with expanded volume EPS in six highly critical zones, each specifically designed to respond accordingly to both low and high-speed impacts. As an added bonus, the Conehead EPS design renders a softer and lighter EPS which increases the helmets comfort by reducing its overall weight and more efficiently absorbing impact forces over a wider array of impact situations.

Adaptive Impact System:

• Polycarbonate Alloy Shell:
  • a lightweight shell with superior penetration resistance
• Impact Energy Cells:
  • Made of RHEON, the Impact Energy Cells maximize absorption of low speed linear and rotational impacts, reducing forces transmitted to the brain
• Conehead EPS Technology:
  • Provides a softer liner whereby the cones help manage or absorb an impact force more efficiently.
  • Six critical zones have been fine tuned for a progressive response to low speed and high speed impacts
• Expanded volume EPS:
  • Strategic areas of the helmet have more impact absorbing EPS, more suspension between your head and the ground
