Premium Helmets

Eitaro Kamata founded Shoei in 1958 with the development of his first protective helmet for motorcycle and car racing. Shoei quickly gained worldwide recognition, first in the USA and later in Europe, as one of the leading suppliers of top-class sports helmets. Today it is impossible to imagine the world of motorsport without Shoei. The brand guarantees the highest safety standards, outstanding aerodynamics, constantly innovative design features and perfect finishing quality. Following the great success of the XR 1100 in the sports sector, Shoei have now also redefined the standards in the sport-touring sector with the Qwest series - reduced noise levels, even better aerodynamics, even more effective ventilation and maximum safety make these newly developed helmets the true premier league favourites in their class.

Info

The Pinlock system offers optimal protection against annoying fogging of the visor. An anti-fog Pinlock inner lens is attached by means of two small pins to the prepared Pinlock outer visor. The airtight space between lens and visor ensures clear vision and therefore significantly enhances road safety. The Pinlock system can be fitted to many helmets made by Shoei, Schuberth, Nolan and Lazer.

and is also glove-friendly to operate. 99% of UV radiation is blocked.

MICRO-RATCHET FASTENER
The micro-ratchet helmet fastener is 100% stainless steel. It is convenient to open
and close, and also very easy to adjust.

VENTILATION/AERODYNAMICS
Integral spoiler gives optimal aerodynamic performance. Multiple air inlets and outlets ensure a comfortable in-helmet climate. The smooth surfaces reduce annoying air turbulence on and around the helmet.

REMOVABLE LINING
The pads are made of high-quality polyurethane and covered with materials that are very pleasant against the skin. So the helmet feels agreeably soft while still providing maximum support. The padding material is sweat-absorbent and quick-drying.
