From the Street - For the
Street.
That's what Icon is all about. Pure performance for real world
situations. We're not interested in some candy-ass, euro-styled road
racing outfit. We're all about stoplight
to stoplight, corner to
corner, here to there riding. That's it. Straight up. And that's
what drives us to create the most innovative products available for
street riding.
It's what gets us out of bed in the morning and keeps
us up at night, it's what we do, it's who we are.
RIDE AMONG US
Icon is known for conceiving and producing unique motorcycle gear and
accessories. Never content to produce “Me, Too” products, Icon strives to
create better products in function, fit and styling for the motorcycle
consumer.
The Mainframe helmet is a good example of Icon’s commitment to quality. An
outstanding helmet in every way, the Icon Mainframe is designed for street
riding in every climate and any situation. The most unique feature of the
Mainframe is the venting system. The Mainframe’s venting even surpasses the
mark set by its predecessor, the Alliance, which has been hailed by owners
and testers as one of the best-ventilated helmets available. Consider the
heat of a ride in the middle of August and you’ll understand why good
ventilation is so important.
The Mainframe has a two-stage venting built into one actuator. The venting
is closed at the forward position for cold weather riding. When things warm
up, push the actuator back one notch to open the venturi channels for the
first stage of venting. Push it back to the last notch and the venturi
channels stay open and it also opens a direct venting port into the scalp
area. The Mainframe, like the Alliance, features a quiet neck ring system,
but also has a removable cheek pad system to facilitate washing and custom
sizing.
While the Mainframe and the Alliance both feature a dual-density styrene
liner, the Mainframe is the only helmet in the world with a recess built
into the styrene liner to accommodate speakers. This is a great feature for
touring riders, many of whom have had to struggle to fit speakers into their
helmets. These speakers could be for either communications systems or music.
Remind your customers to review local laws to confirm whether music and/or
communications speakers are legal, as the laws vary by state.
Another feature of the Mainframe helmet is the new Rubatone finish. This
flat-, or matte-colored paint has a rubber texture that is far more scratch
resistant than
standard flat paint. It also resists fingerprints. The
Mainframe also features an all-new fiberglass/Dyneema shell.
Uniquely Icon in looks, the Mainframe’s styling is all its own,
with a sleek front and jutting rubber exhaust ports in the rear. It is Snell
M2000- and DOT approved.
