Race helmets represent the pinnacle of the breed, with aerodynamics for high-speed riding, and ratings for use in racing...
Great service from Sportbikeshop, I rang about a Shoei X Pro helmet, they price matched and delivered within 24 hours, superb helmet and very helpful staff, 5 star's from me.
The Shoei helmet is a top quality item.
Exchanged this for my Nolan helmet due to warranty issues. Sportsbikeshop were great at sorting it out.
Fit is exceptional, I’ve stuck with the standard pads at the moment but if it packs out too much you have up to 4 pad sizes for each area of the helmet.
Noise levels are very good, I don’t wear ear plugs and nonissues.
Also excepts 35mm Cardo JBL speakers fine along with mic located in the drinking hose cutout.
Ventilation is good once you crack open all the vents and cracked position on visor is perfect.
I suspect I’ll prob stay with SHOEI for my helmets from now on….
Extremely comfortable and quiet
Back in the day my first top quality lid was a Shoei GRV in the Wayne Gardner colours - who was the current world champion at the time too. When Shoei announced that their magnificent top of the range lid was gonna get the Gardner treatment as a limited edition I was first in the queue to snap one up. Hell Yeah!
Excellent quality as would expect, and the finish of the graphics are brilliant.
Great helmet very light and comfortable little air noise and very impressed with vision
Now this is my first expensive helmet but my god does it amplify how you do pay for quality. I could not believe how noisy my previous helmet was. I can actually hear my Cardo at high speeds. This helmet also feels like it’s cradling your head, pure comfort!
After wearing the other popular make of helmet for years I decided that I would try different makes at Sportsbike shop after trying this Shoei X-SPR Pro it felt right all be it a bit tight but after wearing it for a couple of hours it has now bedded in, my opinion a very good helmet as they say "what price do you put on your head".
Would definitely recommend
Super fast delivery.. which for me is very important. Regarding the helmet is truly amazing. I love it.
This was the first time purchasing a shoei helmet so I had a few questions, I emailed them to sports bike shop who got back to me the same and answered all my questions which lead me to getting the correct firmest first time. The helmet is comfortable and well made, the fact you get a pinlock included is also a bonus. I would highly recommend purchasing this helmet.
The quality of the helmet I bought is outstanding, I've always bought the GT air because I thought it was one of the best that shoei made which it is and excellent helmet but I was wrong. The x-spr pro is one fantastic very comfortable helmet and the designs that they do are unreal.
I'd like to thank the sportsbikeshop for providing me with another great product, and shoei keep up the good work ??
55 and new helmet time thought I would treat myself to a decent helmet for once, loads of help from the folks at Sports bike shop Brum, and fast secure delivery to my house
I guess to some my title may sound a bit much, but the reality is, for me at least, purchasing a helmet feels like just about the most important thing you can do as a biker, especially if you plan to do track days or events. I don't have access to a sports bike shop at home, so made a special trip to the Milton Keynes branch to try this helmet on. It was worth every mile and bit of effort; the team could not do enough for me!
We tried the preselected helmet and it needed a bit of customisation, maybe I have a parochial head! But this was all done effortlessly and because I was continuing my travels, they quickly arranged the delivery of the helmet to them first for final fitting and onward shipment to my home address.
I then received really helpful updates on progress and the helmet actually arrived at my home the day before I got back. Perfect timing and an incredibly efficient and effective service.
The helmet itself is just what I wanted, very comfortable, lightweight, no annoying wind noises and FIM approved, which makes signing on at events so much easier. Another 1st class Shoei product!
I bought the Escalate TC10 X-SPR to replace my very ageing Chris Vermeulen X-Spirit 3 replica. Same Shoei quality that you would expect and my life what a beautiful snug all round fit. Visor action and firm closing were excellent, yet to use all the vents in their full glory. A very big shout out to Iona at the Reading branch for being so attentive and suggesting a larger size cheek pad set to give a more comfortable fit. My first ride out was very impressive, snug, stable and no whistling at high speed. Thanks Iona, my wife and I enjoyed your company, smile and a few laughs. Big plus point too is that glasses fit in very snugly. Would highly recommended.
I already have a GT Air II, and I find this helmet much lighter and a lot quieter and I prefer the chin strap to the GT Air II version. I also like the choices of "chin curtain" or "chin spoiler" you get with it :)
I've also found the visor seems to be less prone to condensation.
I have bought this helmet to have a race and road helmet. I can use my NXR-2 visor which is photochromatic. Don't need to spend another £200 ish
Good fit and I don't find it noisy on motorway but that's personal. At the moment wearing balaclava with helmet. Maybe summer will be different.
Have done about 250 miles with it and love it so far.
Do go to shop and try the size first before buying. Normal size I have is S but that's was too big and very loose
Find it cheaper at any major motorcycle accessory retailer, online or in-store and we‘ll match it.
