THE ULTIMATE RACING HELMET
Born from racing, the all-new X-Twelve combines Shoei’s 50 years of helmet
building experience with the very latest technology and most advanced materials
to bring you the racing helmet of the future. Throughout its history, Shoei has
relied on feedback from professional racers around the globe to continually
improve its products, and everything learned along the way has now culminated
in the finest motorcycle racing helmet ever developed—the all-new X-Twelve!
Q.R.S.A. (Quick Release Self-Adjusting) Base Plate System
SHOEI’s Quick Release Self-Adjusting (QRSA) base plate system includes
a locking mechanism that allows you to change visors faster than any other
helmet available!
The QRSA maintains its predecessor’s easy-to-use features—split-second
visor release and attachment, and visor preset lever. SHOEI’s new patented
new spring-loaded technology featured in the QRSA eliminates the need
to adjust base plates for proper sealing. Every time the shield is lowered,
the spring-loaded base plates pull the shield back to contact the window
beading evenly, ensuring a perfect wind and waterproof seal every time!
CW-1 Shield
The all-new CW-1 shield offers greater vertical and peripheral vision than
ever before. In addition, the CW-1 shield protects SHOEI riders from 99% of
the sun’s damaging UVA and UVB rays, and our three-dimensional injectionmolding
process ensures optically perfect, distortion free vision. Another
advantage is it comes with pins for SHOEI’s optional Pinlock system! Insert
the accessory Pinlock film to deliver fog-free vision in any conditions. The new
CW-1 Pinlock lens is 30% larger, and offers fog-free viewing to the very top of
the helmet’s larger eye port.
Multi-Channel Ventilation System
The X-Twelve features the most complex ventilation system available in
any helmet - five (5) intake and ten (10) exhaust vents, making it the most
aggressively ventilated helmet SHOEI has ever produced. Wind tunnel
testing identified the very best locations and shapes of intake and exhaust
ports to maximize airflow, including the suction effect that’s created as low
pressure air travels toward the rear of the helmet. With this in mind, the
X-Twelve features new Side Extractor Vents developed by our MotoGP
racing service to help clear warm, humid air from the racer’s face.
AIM+ Shell Construction (Snell M2010-Approved)
SHOEI’s unique AIM+ technology combines fibreglass with organic fibres that are
so strong they can only be cut with a laser. The end result is a stronger, lighter
shell that will absorb and distribute massive impact forces safely and efficiently.

The X-Twelve’s Aero Edge
2 Spoiler helps minimize lift at
high speeds, and thus wind drag
from the rider and motorcycle.
In addition, increased negative
air pressure improves exhaust
performance to help ventilate
the helmet.

Interior System
The XR-1100 is equipped with a fully removable, washable, and replaceable
3D center pad and multi-layer cheek pads. The XR-1100’s 3D center
pad components are three-dimensionally shaped to match the contours
of a rider’s head. This 3D fitment allows us to provide a helmet with an
extremely comfortable fit, while maintaining the firm hold that is necessary
for distraction-free, high-speed riding. The XR-1100’s multi-layer cheek
pads are available in six different thicknesses to allow riders to customize
the fit of their new helmet. In addition, the liner features eye-glass channels
and an integrated neck pad.
Shell-Integrated Spoiler
New shell forming technology created during the development of SHOEI’s
groundbreaking VFX-W motocross helmet has allowed SHOEI to eliminate
the need for the plastic Aero Wing that was found on the XR-1000. This new
technology has allowed SHOEI to incorporate the aerodynamic advantages of a
spoiler into the shell of the helmet, while maintaining consistent shell thickness
to guarantee perfect strength and weight. This shell-integrated spoiler works to
reduce lift during high-speed riding, just like the spoiler on a sports car.
5 Shell Sizes
While some of our competitors rely on foam padding for fitting a wide range
of customers, SHOEI offers an industry-leading five shell sizes in the new
XR-1100 to ensure a custom fit for heads between the sizes of XS-XXXL.
Dual-Layer EPS Liner
Dual layer EPS foam liner offers vastly enhanced safety. Increased Impact
absorption is achieved by adjusting thickness and density in key areas. Inner liner
features air channels for efficient cooling. Full circumference Impact-absorbing
EPS liner is fitted throughout the entire chin bar for premium face protection

XR-1100
THE FINEST SPORT-TOURING HELMET
MONEY CAN BUY!
The all-new, groundbreaking XR-1100 - where aggressive styling
meets SHOEI’s unrivalled attention to detail,
and the evolution of perfection continues.
CW-1 Visor
The all-new CW-1 shield offers greater vertical and
peripheral vision than the CX-IV that it replaces. In
addition, the CW-1 shield protects SHOEI riders from
99% of the sun’s damaging UVA and UVB rays, and our
three-dimensional injection-molding process ensures
optically perfect, distortion free vision. Another
advantage of the CW-1 shield is it comes with pins for
SHOEI’s optional Pinlock system.
Variable Ventilation System
The XR-1100’s new shell features three (3) intake and six (6) exhaust
vents in total. Wind tunnel testing revealed that the optimal location
for exhaust vents is high on the rear portion of the helmet’s shell.
Better ventilation and aerodynamic performance is achieved by
separating the spoiler and exhaust vents. The exhaust vent holes
have been relocated to take better advantage of negative pressure
suction, dramatically improving exhaust ventilation. SHOEI’s variable
ventilation system allows riders to select the perfect balance
between airflow and silence.
AIM+ Shell

Snell M2010 Certified
The XR-1100 helmet passes the prestigious SNELL M2010 standard that came into effect on October 1st 2009. The XR-
1100 is the first Snell M2010 Certified helmet to be available in Australia!
The testing procedure for the SNELL M2010 standard now calls for graduated headforms of different weights. With previous
standards (M2005, M2000 etc), every headform weighed the same regardless of helmet size. That allowed some manufacturers to get away with
fewer shell sizes while producing helmets with more rigid shells. Please note the Snell label on the back of the helmet says only “Snell Approved.”
Customers must look inside the helmet, behind the liner, to see that it meets the newer standard.

TZ-X
The focus at Shoei in recent years has been to create
a range of premium race & sports helmets.
In 2008 we introduced the VFX-W off-road helmet,
which has redefined off-road racing helmets, and is
the most coveted and sought after off-road helmet
available today.
In 2009 we introduced the class leading XR-1100
helmet, which is now the benchmark for sports
touring helmets.
Our X-Twelve is the absolute pinnacle of dedicated
road-race helmet design, and offers unrivalled race
safety and performance.
For 2010 our goal was to create the finest Road-
Touring helmet the world has ever seen!
The requirements for our development team were
to create the ultimate balance of light weight,
reduced noise & improved long distance comfort.
We demanded a helmet that could be used by street
riders of all types of motorcycles –cruisers, tourers,
commuters etc – and onr that would provide the
finest level of comfort, quality and safety.
The final result is the incredible new……Shoei TZ-X!
ULTIMATE COMfORT
The design criteria for the new TZ-X was superior comfort over
long distances. To achieve this, we wiped the slate clean and
designed the TZ-X with a completely new shell shape and EPS
liner design.
Wind noise is one of the major contributors to rider fatigue, so
the TZ-X has been designed in Shoei’s own, brand new high-speed
300kph wind tunnel facility, to achieve incredibly low levels of
wind noise – a massive 60% less wind-noise than the TZ-R it
replaces!!
The interior is a new and updated 3D
(3 Dimensionally contoured) liner, with an updated 3D crown liner
and removable, multi-layered cheek pads. These cheek pads are
the same as applied to the XR1100, and are available in a range of
thicknesses to achieve a perfect custom fit.
Shoei cheek pads are made using a progressive combination of
polyurethane foam layers in different densities to achieve a soft
but firm hold.
Slits for glasses have been built into the cheek-pads, making
wearing glasses inside the TZ-X far more comfortable and easy.
CW-1 VISOR SySTEM
The new CW-1 visor and QRSA (Quick Release Self Adjusting
base plate system is the same visor as applied to the X-Twelve
and XR1100 race and sports models. This incredible new system
offers ‘One-touch’, superfast and easy visor changes, and the
spring loaded variable axis inside the base plate guarantees a
firm seal when the visor is closed, vastly reducing windnoise.
100% perfect optical clarify and increased vertical and
peripheral vision results in increased safety.
The CW-1 visor is made from hard coated polycarbonate and
offers 99% UV protection
A new Pinlock film has been designed specifically to fit the Shoei
CW- visor, and offers an increased of 30% more vision, with
the film providing anti-fog right to the edges of the visor, greatly
improving vision in wet weather and cold conditions.
PASSIVE SAfETy
The latest in AIM+ Technology has been
applied to the TZ-X.
The AIM+ shell consists of 6 layers of
reinforced organic fibres and fibreglass. The
new AIM+ shell offers increased impact
absorption and penetration resistance
properties, with a reduction in weight!
Shoei’s Dual-Liner Technology is a
combination of various grades of Expanded
Polystyrene EPS to provide unsurpassed
impact protection.
A softer inner liner is couple to a firmer
outer liner to provide progressive impact
absorption and increased damping effect,
resulting in improved safety.
Each shell size now features its own individual
size and density EPS liner, to ensure the
optimal safety level is provided for each
helmet size – resulting is a helmet with a
safety level perfectly tailored to the wearer!
The TZ-X does not rely on blocking noise with the interior
padding, (as many inferior helmet brands do), as excessive
padding will block informative sounds that are essential for rider
safety.
The flush surface and flowing lines of the TZ-X reduce air
turbulence and control wind noise perfectly, while the ear
sections are left open so a rider can still hear their surroundings.
The new TZ-X is also equipped with an open ear section for fast
& easy intercom integration.
5 Shell Sizes
While some of our competitors rely on foam padding for fitting
a wide range of customers, SHOEI offers an industry-leading
five shell sizes in the new TZ-X to ensure a custom fit for heads
between the sizes of XXS-XXL.

VEnTILATIOn
Hours of wind tunnel testing has resulted in the newly designed extra large upper air
intake on the TZ-X to be placed in exactly the right position and at the perfect angle to
achieve the most effective inlet airflow performance.
This enlarged intake works like the ram-air inlet on a motorcycle – pressurising the
channelled ventilation system inside the helmet to optimise cool airflow throughout the
liner.
The lower air intake is also newly designed, and provides an increased flow of air to the
defroster inside the screen. It is also much larger than the previous design, making it
much easier to open and close with winter gloves on.
The air entering around the chin area is channelled inside the helmet through the
defroster, which minimises fogging of the visor. The defroster outlet is angled so that the
air flowing into the helmet does not hit the wearers eyes directly.
The new Dual -Crown exhaust outlets make use of the negative pressure zone behind
the helmet to effectively draw away hot air, while controlling the stream of air to offer
balanced ventilation without turbulence.
DUAL-LInER SySTEM
Shoei’s unique Dual Liner system has
also been adopted and improved for the
TZ-X. The air routed between the two
layers of impact absorbing liners gently
diffuses the cool air flowing into the
helmet, and around the wearers head,
without causing cold spots.
Pressurised cool air is fed into the
ventilation system, and is drawn out of
the exhausts effectively by low pressure.
This revised design ensures the TZ-X
offers optimal airflow with no increase
in wind noise.
AERODynAMICS
The accented shell design is a perfect example of art defined by function.
All of Shoei’s 50 year helmet design experiences has been coupled with the latest in
computer generated design to create the TZ-X
This design has been honed to perfection in Shoei;s own new high speed wind tunnel,
coupled with countless real world tests.
The spoiler at the rear of the helmet restrains drag and lift by controlling the airflow over
the helmet and significantly eases the load on the wearer’s neck.

MULTITEC
flip up helmets have become a major part of the
road helmet market, due to their combination of
convenience and safety. Until now, flip up helmets
have always been second best to full face helmets
– that has all changed with our introduction of the
new MULITEC!
The new wind tunnel designed aerodynamic shape
offers reduced drag and lift, which means less
strain on the user’s neck. Wind noise was also
a very important issue with this helmet, so all
surfaces are smooth and flowing. Ventilation, which
is usually a large generator of wind noise, has been
integrated into the helmet so that wind noise is
vastly reduced, while you still allowing a large
volume of cool air flowing through the helmet.
3D Comfort Liner System with removable
Cheek pads.
The TZ-R features Shoei’s unique 3D liner. The centre pad components
are three-dimensionally shaped to match the contours of a rider’s
head. This 3D fitment allows us to provide a helmet with an extremely
comfortable fit, while maintaining the firm hold that is necessary for
distraction-free, high-speed riding. The TZ-R’s removable, multi-layer
cheek pads are available in six different thickness to allow riders to
customize the fit of their new helmet. In addition, the cheek pads feature
eye-glass channels for greater comfort.
AIM+ Shell Construction (Snell M2010-Approved)
SHOEI’s unique AIM+ technology combines fibreglass with organic
fibres that are so strong they can only be cut with a laser. The end
result is a stronger, lighter shell that will absorb and distribute
massive impact forces safely and efficiently.
Sleek and Aerodynamic Design
with Shell Integrated Spoiler
The wind tunnel designed Multitec has been
designed for vastly reduced wind noise and drag,
making it easy to wear for many hours at a time.

Q.R.B.P. (Quick-Release
Base Plate)
allows fast & easy tool-less shield removal.
The preset lever now incorporates a visor
locking mechanism to lock the visor down
for high speed riding.
noise Cancelling Technology
Noise is becoming an increasing concern amongst motorcycle riders. With the
MULTITEC design, we have introduced patented noise canceling technology to
further reduce wind and road noise. Overlapping visor seals, flush mount visor
system and chin-bar pivot, as well as flush fit ventilation all work to further reduce
wind noise.
CX-1V VISOR
Shoei’s CX-1V visor is 100% optically
correct, and features 99% UVA and UVB
protection. They also feature an ultrahard
scratch resistant coating (including
tint & Iridium)

HORNET DS
The Shoei Hornet-DS can be configured in three
different ways to compliment all forms of motorcycle
riding:
1.With both the peak and visor fixed to the helmet,
the Hornet is the perfect tool for exploring trails and
back roads with your friends. The visor will keep the
noise down and protect your face and eyes from bugs
and dust. The peak protects your eyes from the glare
of the sun, and can also deflect the roost that your
buddies throw back at you in the dirt.
2. If the trails get really tight or muddy, the rider
can opt to remove the visor and ride with a pair of
goggles.
3. If the rider has to do some high-speed highway
commuting to get to their favorite trail, the peak can
be removed to completely eliminate the buffeting that
the peak can cause. The visor is then attached using
the base plate covers supplied with the helmet, giving
a cool streetfighter look!
The Hornet-DS comes equipped with a 2mm thick 3-dimensionally
curved visor that can be positioned in 4 different locations. The
visor can also be removed so the helmet can be used with goggles.
The visors for this helmet are available in clear and light smoke
tints and block 99% of UVA and UVB rays
The Hornet-DS is fitted with Shoei’s 3D interior system. Shoei’s
3D interiors use several different densities of foam in shapes
corresponding to the shape of the rider’s head to ensure not only a
comfortable feel, but superior stability in high speed riding. Shoei
utilizes our 3D Max Dry liner material for the interior of the Hornet-
DS. This blend of fibers is capable of absorbing 35 times its weight
in moisture. The Hornet-DS’ 3D interior is completely removable,
making cleaning easy. Shoei offers range of cheek pad sizes to allow
for a custom-fitting option. Our cheek pads even feature slits so you
can comfortably wear eyeglasses inside your helmet.

The Hornet-DS has one of
the most advanced ventilation
systems ever found on a
motorcycle helmet. With four
intake and three exhaust vents,
the Hornet-DS is up to the task
of keeping a rider cool and
dry in even the most extreme
conditions.
The stylish nose cover on the Hornet-DS is
equipped an internal deflector mechanism
that forces fresh air upward to help prevent
fogging of the shield. The nose cover vent
is also equipped with a shutter to enable
to user to shut the vent if they choose to.
The nose cover vent is easy to remove and
disassemble, making cleaning easy.
The Hornet-DS is equipped
with two Cross Vortex exhaust
vents and a neck outlet that are
positioned to take advantage
of low air pressure zones at the
rear of the helmet that work to
draw hot air from the helmet.
The peak on the Hornet-DS is actually part of the ventilation system
of the helmet. The visor is positioned slightly higher on the top of the
helmet than a typical off road helmet for optimal visibility. The wedge
shape visor was designed in Shoei’s in-house wind tunnel to reduce
uncomfortable wind resistance and buffeting. The reduction of drag and
lift help eliminate neck fatigue and keep the rider more comfortable.
The chin curtain prevents wind from entering the bottom of the
helmet, reducing noise and increasing comfort on cold days.

SHOEI ACTIVE SAFETY
As opposed to “passive safety” that is ensured by compliance with safety standards, “active safety” defines the further improvements
made by SHOEI to ensure that maximum comfort is achieved, allowing the rider to devote all of his or her focus to riding. Advanced
helmet features such as our anatomically-shaped comfort liner for optimum helmet fitment, lowest possible weight to reduce stress on
the neck muscles, and effective ventilation system for temperature regulation and reduction in wind noises all serve to further improve
the safety of the rider. Further development and continued improvement in the areas of safety and comfort technology are SHOEI’s
primary goals.
COMFORT LINER
THE INTERACTION BETWEEN COMFORT AND PROPER FIT
The material and shape of the comfort liner are critical factors for the overall wearing comfort and proper fit of the helmet. The wearing
comfort covers the effect of the material properties on the skin of the rider. The fit defines how well the helmet sits on the head and stays
in place, which is especially noticeable at high speeds. In the past, these two criteria often worked against one another. Very thick, soft
padding provided good wearing comfort, but it did not hold well at high speeds, leading to helmet buffeting and instability.
Polyurethane padding
consists of various layers
Polyurethane padding

OPTIMIZATION OF PADDING COVER MATERIALS
The development of new high performance fabrics allows for greater sweat absorption
and dissipation, yielding a proprietary sweat absorbing material that greatly improves
rider comfort. These materials (first researched and developed in motocross and road
racing where the amount of physical exertion and hence the production of sweat is
extremely high) are now production features in several of SHOEI’s helmet models.
SAVINGS IN WEIGHT AND AERODYNAMICS
IMPROVED SAFETY THROUGH LIGHTER HELMETS
Three factors are crucial for the weight of the helmet as perceived by the rider. The actual weight that is felt by wearing the helmet, the
felt weight, and the dynamic weight, which is produced by the wind resistance and inertia. The actual weight has a direct influence on the
acceleration forces and directly stresses the neck muscles in the event of an accident.
REAL AND PERCEIVED
WEIGHT SAVINGS
IMPROVED SAFETY THROUGH
LIGHTER HELMETS
The heaviest part of a helmet is the helmet shell, which is of
special importance when making a light helmet. Since the shell is
also the part of the helmet that is the most stressed in the event
of an impact, the requirements concerning the manufacturing of a
light helmet shell are correspondingly high. Through its extensive
experience in the processing of fiber compound materials, SHOEI
has succeeded in developing the extremely resistant and lightweight
AIM+ helmet shells.

SHOEI’s Advanced Integrated Matrix + [AIM+] Is Made Up of Three Main Features:
1. Fiber-Reinforced Matrix: The outer shell is given its shape by a heat-setting plastic resin. The SHOEI helmet shell owes its ideal function to the
integration of organic fibers, as well as a three-dimensional shaping process in a layered structure. The result is an outer shell with high strength,
but very low weight as compared to shells that are produced in a conventional way.
2. The Compound Structure: The AIM shell consists of various layers of reinforcing organic fibers and glass fibers. Compared to an outer
shell that is made only of glass fibers, the AIM outer shell is both lighter and more elastic, has superior strength and is more resistant to
penetration due to the additional use of special fibers.
3. The Synthetic Resin: A specially modified, unsaturated polyester resin (a so-called heat-setting plastic) is used for the AIM+ outer shell. This
resin acquires the desired strength and elasticity during the heat hardening process. This synthetic resin is also extremely resistant to corrosion.
With these constituent parts, we produce outer shells that convincingly produce ideal dampening of impacts, good elasticity, light weight, and
enormously high strength and resistance to penetration. In addition
to its enormous weight advantages, the AIM outer shell from SHOEI
offers the best possible impact protection, as well. Through the
interaction of the strength and the elasticity of the various materials,
the AIM shell has been designed in such a way that the effect of an
impact is absorbed and distributed over the largest possible area
so that it may be more easily absorbed by the EPS liner. Thus, the
shell and the EPS liner may show damage from deformation after an
impact, but the head of the rider is given the maximum amount of
protection as a result.
IMPROVING AERODYNAMICS
The stress applied to the neck muscles when riding a motorcycle comes not
only from the weight of the helmet itself, but also from wind resistance. For
that reason, improving the aerodynamics is an important factor in preventing
the onset of fatigue. The SHOEI product development team regularly performs
tests in our own wind tunnel to improve shell design and optimize aerodynamic
properties.
VENTILATION
Back in the early 1980s, SHOEI developed a ventilation system that
passed air through holes in the helmet shell without affecting stability.
The idea that good ventilation is crucial for the safety of a helmet
caused a fundamental change in the design of motorcycle helmets.
Once again, this makes it clear how important the safety concepts
and the spirit of innovation are at SHOEI. The investment in a wind
tunnel of our own allows us to carry out intensive studies in the
development of effective, high-performance ventilation systems.
SHOEI has developed a dual EPS liner whose air system allows an
optimum exchange of warm, humid air with incoming cold, fresh air.
THE SHOEI SHIELD SYSTEM
The shield protects the rider against wind, dirt and insects. In addition to full-face helmets, many * shell helmets
and half helmets are equipped with shields. All SHOEI shields are made of polycarbonate, and the majority of
our shields are produced by an injection molding process, which guarantees clear and distortion-free vision.
Furthermore, the shield protects against small stones and absorbs 99% of the UV radiation, and its coating
prevents scratches and lets water bead off more easily. Except for the Hornet-DS model, all of our shields are
equipped with SHOEI’s own Q.R.B.P. system that allows the shield to be changed quickly and easily without
needing any tools. The smooth surface of a SHOEI shield base plate system eliminates the irritating shield cover
that some of our competitors utilize, which helps prevent unnecessary wind noise.
NOISE REDUCTION
Noise imposes unnecessary stress on the rider and can disturb
his or her concentration. There are two ways to reduce noise
in the helmet. Wind noise can be reduced by optimizing the
aerodynamics. Additionally, the acoustic damping properties
of the helmet can be optimized through careful design of
the helmet shell and the padding. The decisive factor for a
comfortable and quiet helmet is the balanced utilization of these
two approaches. Utilizing a thicker helmet shell, eliminating
ventilation, or using padding that is too tight may reduce
the amount of noise experienced, but this is achieved at the
expense of safety and comfort. This is not an option for SHOEI.

TECHNOLOGY AND TESTING
All SHOEI helmets are developed with safety, comfort, and passion in mind. Information gained from all over the world goes into the
development of each and every model.
SAFETY, DESIGN AND PASSION
With safety, comfort, and
passion in mind, product
development takes customer
wishes, the demands of the
market, and new trends into
consideration. Although safety
and functionality always play
the dominant role, the design
aspect is never neglected. This
special combination of perfect
functionality and unique
design is testimony to the
passion that motorcycle riders
all over the world experience.
WIND TUNNEL TESTING
More than 20 years ago, SHOEI was the first maker to recognize the importance of aerodynamics in designing a helmet. During this time,
SHOEI invested in a wind tunnel of its own that is an indispensable constituent part of product development. In addition, tests to explore
the effects of wind resistance and the various forces applied are constantly measured to determine the performance of the ventilation, as
well as how much noise is being produced.
TEST RIDES
Intensive test rides are performed to verify the results of the
wind tunnel testing on several aspects of the helmet. For example,
the various forms of air flow created by different types of
motorcycles, as well as the comfort experienced during long rides,
are investigated and taken into consideration when developing a
helmet design.
RACING
Nowhere are the requirements placed on a helmet more extreme than
in professional racing. The development of SHOEI sports helmets is
decisively supported by our factory riders in MotoGP, Supercross, and
other international classes. Among other things, the ventilation system and
the quick-change visor system were developed first for racing. Today, every
rider with a SHOEI helmet can benefit from these technologies.

SHOEI PRODUCTION & QUALITY ASSURANCE
For all the energy and passion that are invested in the development of a product, the same level of care and due diligence must be achieved during
the production process. The following insight explains the individual processes that ultimately results in the unique quality of SHOEI helmets
SHELL MOLDING
SHOEI exclusively uses fiber-reinforced plastics that offer the best
properties for the production of a helmet shell. Thanks to many
years of experience and highly specialized employees, SHOEI is
in a position to produce helmet shells that are extremely strong
and light weight. Each helmet shell is marked personally by the
employee who is responsible for it. The employee puts his or her
name on the line by endorsing the quality of each and every helmet.
LASER CUTTING
Here the helmet is given its final shape. All the protrusions
that area created in manufacturing are cut off. The openings
for the shield and ventilation are burnt into the helmet shell
with a laser. Finally, the helmet is checked to ensure that it
has the correct material thickness and weight.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
The ventilation sliders, shield seals, inner shell,
and padding are assembled with great care. Each
helmet passes a detailed final inspection before
being passed on to the consumer. This strict
compliance with the production processes
and associated quality control guarantees the
consistently high SHOEI quality.
PAINTING
In though many production steps have been
automated today, it is still critical that some processes
are done by hand. SHOEI combines handwork and
automation in production to ensure optimal quality.

NO COMPROMISE, EVEN
FOR INVISIBLE PARTS
QUALITY CONTROL
Each helmet that leaves our factories in Ibaraki and Iwate has first been subjected to intensive quality control.
QUALITY CONTROL IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE
The Snell and DOT safety standards play a major role during the
development of a helmet. The helmet shell and the shock-absorbing EPS
liner are continuously tested for hardness and elasticity and modified as
required. This results in a helmet that meets the strict standards that
are applied, and still includes all the advantages of the original design.
QUALITY CONTROL DURING PRODUCTION
Strict quality control guidelines at SHOEI are in place during all phases
of production, from manufacturing of the outer shell to the point of
final assembly. In addition, samples are regularly taken from normal
production and tested at the company’s own test facilities. Every year,
more than 3,000 helmets are tested to ensure safety, and destroyed in
doing so. These test helmets make a major contribution to the overall
safety of our products.

SHOEI HELMET SIZING, HANDLING, AND CARE
Each helmet model has small differences in its shape that ultimately affect the fit. For this reason, it is essential to test a helmet
before buying it. Test whether it sits on your head properly by putting on the helmet and moving your head to the left and right,
as well as up and down while holding the helmet firmly with both hands. If your head can move too freely within the helmet, we
recommend that you try a smaller size. If you feel local pressure points, then choose a helmet that is one size larger, or perhaps try
on a different model.

HELMET CARE
THE HELMET
SHELL
All SHOEI helmet shells are
made of compound fiber
materials. Therefore, use plastic
cleaner and/or wax to clean
the helmet shell, but not on
the ventilation slider and other
plastic parts. Do not use polishes
on helmets with matte finish
paintwork. For these helmets,
simply use a mild detergent and
water for cleaning.
THE COMFORT
LINER
All parts of the removable comfort
liner should be washed by hand or
in a washing machine at 30° C with
the use of a washing bag. Antibacterial
detergents have proven useful in
removing smells. The EPS liner can
likewise be wiped down with a mild
cleaner. Make sure that everything
is absolutely dry before putting the
padding back into the helmet shell.
PLASTIC PARTS SUCH
AS THE SHIELD,
VENTILATION, ETC.
All plastic parts are very sensitive to
solvents. For this reason, we recommend
using only the mildest possible cleaning
agents. The shield and any other parts
that can be removed should be removed
for cleaning. If the shield is equipped
with a Pinlock system, this can also be
cleaned with neutral soapy water. The
shield and the Pinlock shield must be
absolutely dry before the Pinlock system
is reassembled.
WHEN SHOULD A HELMET BE REPLACED?
The life of a helmet depends on how it is used. A
helmet should be replaced if one or more of the following points apply:
1. There was a fall that resulted in an impact on the helmet.
2. The helmet fits looser than when it was purchased due to frequent use.
3. The EPS liner has come away from the helmet shell.
4. The EPS liner shows signs of wear and is beginning to break up, or if it has been exposed to
heat or a solvent and has melted.
SERVICE: SHOEI helmets are covered by a five-year, limited warranty, and SHOEI will repair or
replace the helmet if it is found to suffer from flaws in materials or workmanship.

SHOEI PINLOCK SYSTEM
The Shoei CW-1 has the new PINLOCK System integrated into the visor as standard. The Pinlock Anti-fog insert
lens (available separately) can be easily clipped into the pins fitted to the visor, and slots into the recess at the top of
the visor for a perfect fit. This makes it possible to increase the size of the PINLOCK insert lens to its maximum - a
massive 30% larger than previous models! The PINLOCK film can be easily clipped in and out and changed into tint
or iridium visors as needed.
The new Photochromatic lenses are perfect for use all day long whether it’s a hot sunny afternoon or a bright chilly
winter’s day. Using light reactive technology they transform from a subtle shade of green to a deeper shade of mid
blue within seconds in bright sunlight and return to their original colour when the weather changes.

InSTALL THE
PInLOCK
Fit the Pinlock between the
pins, as described. Do not
remove the protective foil
on the Pinlock yet.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
The Pinlock® fog free insert lens is created out of a moisture absorbing plastic. The Pinlock® creates an air tight double shield. The pins are
eccentric, which means that the shaft of the pin is positioned off-center. This enables the user to increase or decrease the tension on the lens by
turning the pins, allowing the silicone seal to have a perfect fit. Please notice! The Pinlock® fog free lens is less resistant to scratching then the
original visor!
REMOVING AND FITTING THE LENS:
1) Remove the original visor from the helmet as shown in the helmet manufacturers’ instructions.
2) Flex the original visor carefully until there is no more tension on the Pinlock® lens. Carefully remove the Pinlock® lens from its position.
CLEANING:
Only clean the Pinlock® fog free lens and the original visor using liquid green soap, lukewarm water and a soft moist cloth.
Allow the lens and the visor to dry naturally before reassembling them.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANING PRODUCTS OR LIQUIDS CONTAINING AMMONIA OR
ALCOHOL.
3) Flex the original visor and click the Pinlock® lens between the two pins and allow the original visor to return to its curved shape. The entire
perimeter of the silicone seal should be in firm contact with the original visor.
IF THIS IS NOT THE CASE:
4) Remove the Pinlock® lens.
5) Adjust the pins by pushing them outwards and turning them with your fingers before pushing them back.
6) Repeat step 3.
7) Allow the original visor to return to its curved shape and fit it back on the helmet.
8) Remove the protective film from the Pinlock® lens.
9) Fit the visor back on the helmet. While riding, the possibility exists that the enormous pressure of the wind drives moisture between the lens and
the original visor. That is why we strongly recommend that you always close the visor when riding. Nevertheless, if moisture penetrates inside the air
tight chamber, the Pinlock® lens should be removed from the original visor. Refit the lens to the visor after both have dried naturally.
GUARANTEE:
We only guarantee optical purity and production defects that are visible after removal of the protective film (prior to fitting the original visor to
the helmet). Any claims under the guarantee must be submitted within 8 days after purchase. Pinlock® has international patent protection and is a
registered brand name. Further patents have been applied for.
ARAI & UNIVERSAL
‘FINE VISION’ PINLOCK SYSTEM
