So at Motocard we wanted to explain what are the best Shoei motorcycle helmets.

Which one is for you? What are the differences between them? We tell you about it in this comparison.

Shoei motorcycle helmets, common features in the whole family

Before we begin, however, it should be explained that all Shoei helmets have similar characteristics, mainly the outer composite of which they are made: the AIM (Advanced Integrated Matrix), a composite of several layers of organic fiber and fiberglass, which provides lightness and above all, a high impact resistance.

Shoei NXR 2 Helmet: your most versatile helmet

We start with one of Shoei’s best-selling helmets, the Shoei NXR 2. It is a very versatile helmet, comfortable, but without renouncing to a sporty spirit. The interesting thing about this helmet is that we can use it both for our day to day and to enter to make laps in the circuit.

The interior is very comfortable, it is prepared to reduce noise inside the helmet, the screen is one of the best in its segment and the aerodynamics have that perfect mix between urban and sport use.

Things you should know: it has homologation 22.06 and both the Pinlock anti-fogging film and the chinstrap and chinstrap cover are included in the box. It is a helmet that you have available in a lot of different graphics: from Marc Márquez to other more spectacular ones.

Shoei GT-Air2 helmet, the sport-touring helmet par excellence

From a multi-purpose helmet we move on to a very versatile sport-touring helmet, looking for comfort, but also a sporty touch, perfect for your weekend getaways. Like the previous NXR2, the GT-air 2 is a helmet made of Shoei’s fiber composite and has some shared features, but the main differences are that it equips a sun visor and has one of the best motorcycle intercom re-installs available on the market. Simply remove the side covers and install the intercom unit there. Very well integrated.

Also, please note that the Shoei GT-Air 2 has the micrometric closure and the 22.05 homologation which is compatible with the current 06. It is one of the best sport-touring helmets you can buy.

Helmet Shoei Neotec 2, one of the best modular helmets

If the NXR 2 and GT-Air 2 share many features, so do the latter and the brand’s modular helmet. In other words, the Neotec 2 is basically the Shoei GT-Air 2, but in a flip-up version.

Its interior is very comfortable, it also has the pre-installation for the motorcycle intercom, sun visor, micrometric closure, homologation 22.05 and the double P/J, which allows you to ride with the chin guard open.

It is undoubtedly one of the best modular motorcycle helmets you can buy and it is available in a lot of different graphics and colors.

Shoei VFX-WR helmet, the Shoei motocross helmet

But Shoei also has motorcycle helmets for motocross and enduro enthusiasts, as the Shoei VFX-WR helmet is one of the best in its segment. It is also made of top quality materials, with the M.E.D.S. system that prevents rotational energy in the event of a fall. A great helmet without a doubt if your thing is to run away from the asphalt.

Shoei Hornet ADV helmet, perfect for your motorcycle adventure

Nor could we forget one of the best Adventure motorcycle helmets currently available, the Shoei Hornet ADV. It is a helmet with the same shell as its brothers, but with a perfect design for a mixed use between road and asphalt. We can remove the screen and include off-road glasses for a total look.

Although it has been on the market for years and is homologated 22.05, it is still one of the best helmets in its segment. In addition, it is available in several different graphics, all of them spectacular.

Shoei X-SPR Pro Helmet, Marc Márquez’s helmet

And for the end, we have left the best Shoei motorbike helmet you can buy, the Shoei X-SPR Pro, the helmet of, among others, Marc Márquez.

It is a helmet developed in MotoGP, with the best specifications to enter the circuit. It is the heir of other top helmets, like the Shoei X-Spirit 3. In this case, the new X-SPR Pro has the homologation 22.06 and, attention, the FIM homologation, to be able to compete, precisely in championships like MotoGP, Superbikes and others.

Obviously, the interior of the helmet is very well cared for, offering great support and breathability. In addition, you can remove and wash it and it has pre-installation for a hydration kit, among other top of the range racing details. One of the best racing helmets you can buy.

And finally, we didn’t want to forget about other Shoei helmets to take into account and that are one of the best alternatives in each segment. For example, for Scrambler and Café Races motorcycle enthusiasts there are two helmets to consider: the Shoei Ex Zero and the Shoei Glamster. Two helmets with a very vintage design, but made of high quality materials.

And we could not forget the Shoei J.O. a helmet of this style, but jet and J-Cruise, for urban journeys and something more touring.
