G-Force Racing Gear is proud to announce that the much anticipated 3000 Series helmet line is now available. After a strenuous 24 month research and development program, G-Force rolled out four models in its latest helmet line; the Eliminator, Eliminator X, Pro Eliminator, and Pro Eliminator X. Standard models in sizes extra small through medium were available at press time while the larger sizes are slated for a late summer release, meaning they should be available by the time you read this Quick Tech.
The new G-Force Racing Gear, full face, 3000 Series Helmets are part of the HANS friendly program and come with threaded mounting points pre-installed for the HANS Device. For 2008, these new helmets will be priced at an introductory price equal to the current line, $299.99.
The Pro Eliminator X is the most eye catching in the 3000 line featuring a choice of three colors and a vibrant flame/checkered flag paint scheme. The helmet's outer contact shell is made from a low density, lightweight Z38 fiberglass, carbon, and Kevlar composite blend. It is then coated with either deep, rich white or black gloss paint or a matte black undercoat, covered with an airbrushed flame and checkered flag pattern and finished with a protective clear coat outer layer. The rear of the helmet is accented with double ridge lines that add both style and strength to the Pro Eliminator X's shell.
Reinforced mounting points for the HANS Devices are built into the shell during production for added durability. That means that there is no drilling or modification required by the driver.
The G-Flow Ventilation System draws air into the chin bar ports, around the heated interior and siphons out the top and rear vents to aid in cooling. An optically correct, 0.125-inch thick, ProFit Shield encloses the extra wide eye port opening and secures to the rubberized, eye port gasket to keep dust and dirt out. The ProFit Shield is held in place by two aircraft aluminum, wide-head bolts for easy change-out and removal. The thumb indention makes lifting the shield, even with gloves, simple and clean. In addition, the pivot kit contains five shield ratchet positions so that the driver can adjust to his liking. The front of the helmet is completed with a smooth-slope, auto racing chin bar which is different than a motorcycle, sharp-nosed design.
On the inside, G-Force has produced one of the most user friendly, comfortable helmets on the market. The heart of the Eliminator helmet is the G-78 impact liner made to meet and exceed all Snell and SFI specs. The G-78 impact liner is covered by a soft knit, flame retardant liner for comfort, fit, and functionality. A SpecFit Channel has been added to secure placement in the use of glasses (sun or corrective). The chin strap in the Eliminator helmet is bolted to the shell with stainless hex-head bolts and is made from durable Kevlar webbing. The Pro Eliminator X helmet carries both the Snell SA2005 and SFI 31.1/2005 rating. For the racer that needs to step up to a top of the line helmet without the added cost, the G-Force Racing Gear Pro Eliminator X has you covered.
