class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Design Updates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For protection, the V3 features a new shell, offering better hand coverage with variable thickness to optimise rigidity or flexibility depending on the impact zone, and incorporates an exclusive high-absorption impact foam inside to protect knuckles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key new feature is the simplified and stiffer connection between the guard and mount, achieved by removing the V2&#8217;s flip-chip mount, which significantly boosts mechanical reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The redesigned mounting bracket uses a plastic inner ring to reduce stress transfer to the handlebar and rotational forces during a crash, and allows for a lower torque setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
