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.

Shoei DKS301 Pinlock Insert - X-spirit 3 / XR 1100 / Qwest / Neotec 2 / GT Air 3 / NXR Shoei DKS301 Pinlock Insert - X-spirit 3 / XR 1100 / Qwest / Neotec 2 / GT Air 3 / NXR
Fitted perfectly and needed no adjustment. As this is a replacement I know it works but it is important to make sure it fits correctly with no slight air gaps. Otherwise its condensation reducing capabilities will be compromised. The service at Sportsbike Shop was excellent after initially supplying the wrong visor which I replaced at the same time.

Superb quality helmet. I normally use Arai and it's easily as good (if not better). Brilliant graphics with a deep almost 3D finish.. I bought a size larger than I normally would since I was warned Shoei sizes were fairly small.. Lastly, full marks to Sportsbikeshop for price matching (and it was a significant reduction) without any quibbling.

Shoei DKS301 Pinlock Insert - X-spirit 3 / XR 1100 / Qwest / Neotec 2 / GT Air 3 / NXR Shoei DKS301 Pinlock Insert - X-spirit 3 / XR 1100 / Qwest / Neotec 2 / GT Air 3 / NXR
I bought this to replace the Pinlock insert supplied with my Shoei GT Air II helmet as I'd managed to scratch the original one. Pinlock will give you mist free vision for a good few hours in the heaviest of downpours. Eventually it will saturate with moisture in bad rain and water will trickle down. At that point it's time to stop at a petrol station, cafe, pub etc for a drink and to dry the insert gently with tissue paper.

I've given 4, rather than 5 stats, as installing these 100% correctly is tricky. If you can slide a £5 note between the insert and your visor, moisture will get in and you'll get a misted visor behind the pinlock insert. If that happens, you have to remove the insert and dry everything otherwise you will not be able to see where you're going. Make sure you test the seal is 100% round the whole pinlock insert. If you can slide the £5 note under the insert, adjust the pins securing the insert slightly

This is definitely a premium helmet, packed with useful features. The venting is excellent and the built-in sun visor works smoothly, with the lever mounted where it's easy to reach wearing gloves. There are lots of size options and it's easy to fine tune the fit by swapping the internal padding to get the perfect fit. Sportsbikeshop's service is unmatched IMHO, from the in-store help and expertise, to the range of helmets available, all backed up by outstanding aftersales support.
