Shoei Helmets

Shoei motorcycle helmets - quality and value since 1960

By the time a Shoei helmet leaves the factory in Ibaraki, Japan, it will have gone through at least 50 pairs of hands during its creation. Shoei prides itself on making helmets by hand, and that's one of the reasons why the brand is so highly regarded by motorcyclists all over the world. Shoei made its first motorcycle helmet back in 1960 and has been responsible for a host of world-firsts as it's become one of the world's foremost helmet manufacturers. It created its first helmet with a carbon-fibre shell as long ago as 1976 and can claim to be the first company to develop chin skirting, integrated visor mountings and controllable air intakes to keep riders cool. The range covers everything from sleek urban helmets through to the most advanced racing protection on the planet. Shoei's racing pedigree goes way back to the legendary era of two-stroke Grand Prix warriors like Wayne Gardner, Eddie Lawson and Wayne Rainey. The influence continues today with multiple world champion Marc Marquez wearing Shoei throughout his glory-filled career. When you see the Shoei badge, it's more than a brand. It is a stamp of premium quality.

These are essential when riding in rain. I try to avoid this but it doesn't always work out that way. Replaced visor and pin lock together which I did as a try or buy at Milton Keynes. The excellent assistant there even replaced it for me. Thanks

Shoei CNS-3 Pinlock Ready Visor - Road Legal Shoei CNS-3 Pinlock Ready Visor - Road Legal
My crash helmet was four years old and has done about 30,000 miles. Well overdue a change of visor which I bought from Sportsbikeshop. The shop assistant undertook the fiddly task of changing the visor and I can see clearly now. Service excellent as normal

Pinlock inserts are an absolute must. They aren't always 100% effective, but they come close.

Shoei CJ-3 Race Visor - Not Road Legal Shoei CJ-3 Race Visor - Not Road Legal
Great visor if you suddenly are confronted with blinding sunlight but obviously on a dull day when all you’re trying to do is avoid the stones from the vehicle in front being catapulted in your face then it’s not so good. What I need is an AI visor that knows exactly what I need when I need it! So when AI eventually takes over the world maybe we have Perfect visors but until then this ain’t bad for the money :-)

I brought the reactor light one and it really does work. Its not as dark in full sun as my old one which was a blue mirrored one but good for evening rides this time of year.
I wish I d brought this before waisting my money on one from another company!

Shoei Centre Pad - NXR / NXR 2 Shoei Centre Pad - NXR / NXR 2
Easy if a little fiddly to put in. Helmet pads don't last for ever even with careful maintenance.
