A standard in life exists that most people eventually figure out - you get what you pay for. And with Shoei helmets - you get what you pay for. Ask a member of their devoted fan base. It just fits right. The features are innovative and groundbreaking. The protection? Again, you get what you pay for. The Shoei history in motorcycle helmets goes back to 1954 with the Kamata Polyester Co. which first produced helmets for the construction industry. In 1959, Eitaro Kamata founded Shoei to make general safety helmets and then in 1960 the manufacture of Shoei motorcycle helmets began. The first Shoei motorcycle racing helmet debuted in 1963 and the company's first full-face helmet appeared in 1967.
Shoei developed the world's first carbon fiber helmet - the GR-Z - in 1976. Shoei entered off-roading in 1982 with the EX-2 and in 1984 the world's first ventilated helmets saw production with the RF-102V and TJ-201V. In 1990, the X-8 arrived which was constructed with a mechanical shield system eliminating noisy base plate covers. Taking customer satisfaction to new heights, the RF-1100 and X-Twelve released in 2010, combined customer and dealer requests using state of the art technology including the Quick Release Self-Adjusting (Q.R.S.A) base plate system and the wider and taller CW-1 shield that replaced the CX-IV.
Seriously, we could go on and on but the point is Shoei produces serious helmets, for serious protection for the serious rider. You get what you pay for with Shoei motorcycle helmets.
