TZ-X The focus at <strong>Shoei</strong> 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……<strong>Shoei</strong> 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 <strong>Shoei</strong>’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. <strong>Shoei</strong> 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 <strong>Shoei</strong> 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! <strong>Shoei</strong>’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.
