From a Press release issued by Center of Gravity:

OGK comes to North America

Revolutionary helmets available from Center Of Gravity

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA (MAR. 10) Center Of Gravity of Huntington Beach, CA is now importing OGK’s FF4 helmets into North America. The helmets the standard FF4 and the FF4 Polen are DOT and Snell 2000 approved for North America.

The helmets feature a patented ‘Top Aero Ventilation’ system, carbon composite shell, quick-change shield, washable inner liner system and shield post tear-off arrangement.

Center of Gravity also distributes the Arata exhaust system in North America.

The FF4’s ‘Top Aero Ventilation’ system is a development of OGK’s patented ‘Top Ventilation’ method, in which warm internal air is forced from the rear of the helmet at the same time as cooler external air flows in. With the ‘Top Aero Ventilation’ system, a ‘stream plate’ prevents turbulent air from collecting at the rear of the helmet and putting pressure on the rider’s neck. The FF4’s carbon composite shell uses carbon fiber and KEVLAR® to improve the strength and stiffness of the helmet while at the same time reducing weight.

OGK has also patented its ‘Quick Change Shield System’, which allows the shield to be removed with the press of a single button and quickly replaced, a useful feature for both racing and general riding applications.

The FF4 also uses the ‘Inner Joint System 2′ for improved comfort and cleanliness. The cheek pad, inner pad and chinstrap pad can be easily removed and washed, and fresh pads can be purchased as aftermarket items as well. The shield post tear-off system is standard equipment on the FF4. This enables the rider to easily switch from a clear to smoked shield for different riding conditions.
The standard FF4 retails for $389.00 (U.S.) while the FF4 Polen is available for $449.00 (U.S.)

Center Of Gravity has sponsorship opportunities available for both the OGK helmets and Arata exhaust systems. More information is available by contacting Center Of Gravity at 714-374-9491, or email to [email protected].
