The Star's development began with a custom helmet developed for racer Eddie Lawson. The shape was considered by Eddie to be almost perfectly stable while racing.
The shape—based on the Feuling open-cockpit auto racing design—is a truncated tear drop with a 7 degree taper from the equator of the helmet to the back.

For speeds in excess of 130 mph, an additional strip was added to the wing. The strip created additional down force to improve the stability of the STAR at speeds in excess of 130 miles per hour. The ‘Track Strip™' will come as an add-on with every STAR.
The result was a helmet which was extremely stable at high
speed both head-on and during a head check, and ventilates
like no other.
