Progressive Shell Design:
- Features DOT-approved AIM (Advanced Integrated Matrix) shell construction
- Incredibly strong and extremely lightweight outer shell combines fiberglass with organic fibers
- Three shell sizes to ensure a custom fit for heads between the sizes of XS-XXL
- Exclusive, state-of-the-art shell forming technology incorporates the aerodynamic advantages of a spoiler right into the shell
- The shell-integrated spoiler yields a stable, less fatiguing ride by reducing lift and drag during high-speed riding
Multi-Piece EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) Liner:
- Provides enhanced impact absorption by utilizing varying densities of foam
- Designed to allow cooling air to travel unrestricted through tunnels created in the EPS, further enhancing the unmatched ventilation characteristics
CNS-1 Shield & QR-N Base Plate:
- A larger CNS-1 shield provides a wider and taller field of vision than its predecessor
- The CNS-1 protects against 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays
- Shoei’s 3D injection-molding process ensures a distortion-free view throughout the entire field of vision
- The QR-N base plate system makes shield changes and base plate function smoother
- Spring-loaded base plates pull the shield back against the dual-lip window beading to ensure a wind and waterproof seal with each and every closure
Pinlock Anti-Fog System:
- Comes equipped with a Pinlock Fog-Resistant System, offering the most effective anti-fog protection in existence
- A simple, one-step installation process makes every Pinlock lens easy to install
Internal Sun Shield:
- The built-in QSV-1 sun shield gives riders instant relief from sun glare in one quick motion
- A large, easily located switch activates the 3D injection-molded inner shield
- The distortion-free, anti-fog, scratch-resistant view blocks 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays
- The forehead area of the outer shell is raised slightly to accommodate the internal sun shield, allowing for the integrity of the helmet’s inner EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) liner to remain intact
- The QSV-1 sun shield exceeds the ANSI Z80.3-2010 standard for non-prescription eyewear
Fully Removable Interior System:
- Equipped with a fully removable, washable, and replaceable 3D Max-Dry interior system
- The 3D center pad components are three-dimensionally shaped to match the contours of a rider’s head, allowing for an extremely comfortable fit while maintaining the firm hold necessary for distraction-free, high-speed riding
- Shoei’s exclusive Max-Dry liner material absorbs and dissipates sweat and moisture twice as fast as traditional Nylon interiors
Ventilation Performance:
- Equipped with a large lower vent shutter for ease of use with riding gloves
- Strategically-placed, three position upper vent for optimal air intake
- Uniquely-positioned upper exhaust outlet vents to take better advantage of negative pressure suction
- All vents yield dramatically-improved cool-air intake and hot-air expulsion
- Tested in Shoei’s wind tunnels to help reveal the optimal balance between airflow and silence
Noise Reduction Design:
- Enjoy a reduction of wind noise without blocking the road’s “informative sounds”
- Optimal shell aerodynamics and liner components are designed to prevent unwanted road noises from entering through the bottom of the helmet
- A dual-ridge window bead helps to reduce noise while providing a wind and waterproof seal
- Noise tested in Shoei’s in-house wind tunnel

General Sizing information
If you are unsure about your size, compare your body measurements to the charts provided to determine the correct fit. These charts will give you a good idea of the size to order, but be sure to read special sizing information that may accompany an item description. Some merchandise dimensions may vary from the averages charted here.
Head Measurement
Measure your head size by wrapping a cloth tape measure horizontally around your head at a height of roughly one inch (2.5cm) above your eyebrows. This will give you a measurement of the largest portion of your head. Select the helmet that is closest to your head size. Oftentimes your head measurement may fall between two helmet sizes, if this occurs, try the smaller of the two sizes first.
Check for Proper Fit
With the helmet on, go through the following checklist:
- Does the inner lining fit snugly around your entire head?
- Does the top pad press closely around the dome of your head?
- Are your cheek pads in contact with cheeks?
- Does the brow lining fit snugly against brow (you should not be able to insert fingers between the lining and your brow)?
- Take hold of the helmet with a hand on each side. Without moving your head, try to move the helmet up and down, side to side. You should feel the skin of your head and face being pulled as you try to move the helmet. If you can move the helmet around easily, it is too big and you should try a smaller size.
