Shoei crash helmets started development in 1958 and the first products were exclusively designed for the racing sector. Then because of that hard won reputation in racing as a top quality brand Shoei crash helmets started becoming popular as a worldwide premium brand in the late sixties, initially in the United States and then spreading into Europe. To this day all Shoei crash helmets (and parts) are still made in Japan despite the increase in manufacturing expenses there. This is because the dedication to excellence from each individual at the Shoei crash helmet factory is seen as a personal challenge. At each stage of the process involved in making a Shoei crash helmet the quality and attention to detail reflects the spirit and ambition that is typical of Shoei. To the extent that faulty products are practically unheard of. Shoei crash helmets produce a wide range of different styles to suit all riders’ needs, from the ultimate racing helmet, the X-spirit II, worn by top racers, through to the Ride Best Buy winning Raid II. The much loved Shoei crash helmet XR1000 has now been replaced by the XR1100, which offers more of the same – great aerodynamics, ventilation and fit. We also carry the police approved Multitec flip front helmet and the dual sport Hornet DS models . Many of our branches are Shoei Accredited dealers and every store has staff trained by Shoei technicians
