Title: Akuma Chameleon Visor - That's just cool
Post by: Slide Panda on September 24, 2009, 05:34:25 AM
Akuma's been working on various new tech's for visors like their Gemini tint-on-demand

Now they have introduced a photochromatic visor that doesn't darken quite like you'd expect (just darkending) - the damn thing goes Mirrored!

That's pretty slick...

Cool, but the difference is very subtle though...That's why I love the helmets with the dual visors.

The Phantom II that the transition visors are being launched on is actually pretty competitively priced compared to the other expensive brands like Shoei and Arai. I think I might look into one when I'm due for a new lid.

I'm lusting after the Phantom II with Transition visor, and these new visors are also quite intriguing.

There will probably not be any sold within 200miles of me.

If someone tries any Akura's on, I'd love to hear how fit compares to popular brands I might find locally, Shoei HJC etc.

It is just the 1st go.. it's just a new cool thing - I've never seen photo-chromatic mirroring before.. Now if they can make a full faced tint/mirror on demand set up...
