One of the fastest growing segments of the motorcycling family over the pastfew years has been the dual sport market. As legal off-road riding areas becomeharder and harder to find, dual sport riding has been filling the gap for manyriders that want the freedom and excitement of riding in the dirt without theheadaches of loading their bikes in a truck and driving for hours to find legaloff-highway riding areas. With a dual sport bike, any dirt road that amotorcyclist spots in their travels suddenly becomes an opportunity foradventure.

Up until now, the dual sport rider was stuck with two options. Most chose towear an off-road helmet with goggles and fight with a visor that is constantlybuffeting in the wind while enduring all the road noise and wind entering thefront of the helmet. A few others would endure the stares of other motorists aswell as the blinding glare of the sun as they rode with a street helmet aboardtheir dual sport bikes. Shoei has changed all of this with the introduction oftheir dual sport specific helmet, the Hornet-DS
