X-TWELVE
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.
