NEver seen that before. there helmets are starting to look like bicycle racing helmets, especially Lorenzo's Shark helmet.Spoilers. The new X-Fourteen Shoei (Marquez uses it) has a lot of that tech. The faceshield even has a row of tiny vortex generators (spoilers) on each side that break up side lift. They work really well, I have one I mainly use for track days and the helmet is very quiet even at speed and doesn't tend to lift up or pull to the side. They are quite a bit more extreme on the factory helmets which are all custom-built.
