KEEP YOUR HEAD
There are more of them than ever, so this month we check out all the latest and greatest the world of helmets has to offer. If you ride a motorcycle, you’ve got to have one, so you might as well get a good one – and one you like! There are lots of new models, so let’s check ‘em out!
SHOEI
NEOTEC II - From $999
The Shoei Neotec2 modular helmet is the follow-up to Shoei’s hugely popular Neotec helmet. Sena Bluetooth communication ready (available separately) and with all the touring features you’ve come to expect from Shoei including the infinitely adjustable ‘one-touch’ sun visor, flip-up chin bar, optimised ventilation and superb comfort, this could just be the premium leader of touring helmets on the market! Available in solid colours and graphics.
X-SPIRIT III – From $999
The Shoei X-Spirit III is a proven race weapon for those who aren’t willing to compromise when it comes to high end performance. With its ‘world first’ rotating liner, it can be perfectly tailored in seconds for the track or the street. Superior aerodynamics, comfort, ventilation and adjustability means the new X-Spirit III is as at home on the street as it is on the track. Designed and honed to perfection in conjunction with current World Moto GP Champion Marc Marquez. I have an X-Spirit III for racing and swear by it; it’s the best I’ve ever worn. Available in solids colours and numerous graphic designs.
NXR – From $799
The Shoei NXR helmet is a perfect blend of comfort and performance created for the road. Designed as a sport touring helmet, it comes with Shoei’s premium comfort and features. I also have an NXR for the road and combined with my Shoei RYD helmet, that’s all I wear. So to speak.
