For more than forty years, Shoei motorcycle helmets have been manufactured to push the envelope in terms of protection and style in the motorcycle helmet industry. Since 1958, Shoei has produced helmets for street, dirt, and racing purposes and unveiled its greatest achievement to date in 2005. The 2005 Shoei helmet lineup included the innovative XR-1000 sports motorcycle helmet. On Shoei’s top helmets, the shock absorbing liner is constructed of multiple parts and features a ventilation system with multiple channels between them. These channels effectively carry fresh air to the rider’s head while venting out warm humid air. The liner is removable and can be replaced in seconds.

2005 Shoei helmets saw a vastly improved ventilation system implemented; a system which Shoei calls Aero-Vortex-Ventilations. This unique ventilation method not only allows cool, fresh air into the helmet; it also provides a way for the hot, humid, interior helmet air to escape. The result is a ride that is never interrupted by the discomfort common to motorcyclists due to a hot and sweaty head inside the helmet. Also new to the 2005 Shoei helmet was the Shoei CX-1 Shield Technology; a unique shield which is not attached to the helmet with screws. Instead Shoei devised a spring-loaded ratchet. The shield is detached by pulling two levers. It takes seconds and can be reattached just as quickly. Shoei also introduced a new visor system and the CX-1V visor fits only on these newly developed Shoei helmets.

Shoei has been a trusted name in motorcycle helmets for a long time now and the 2005 Shoei helmet models reflect the company’s quest for excellence in every design. Shoei attributes this to the skill and dedication of its employees. Shoei continues to manufacturer all of its helmets in Japan although other Japanese companies have found that opening and operating factories in various European countries to be far more cost effective. A direct quote from the Shoei web site says it best. “The men and women in our factories take every single helmet as a personal challenge. Faulty products are practically unheard of, as every single piece reflects the spirit, ambition and attention to detail that is so typical of SHOEI.”

Each 2005 Shoei helmet reflects this particular level of dedication and attention to detail in its design, workmanship, and production. Offering an extreme level of comfort and protection, along with a unique sense of style, is what Shoei has been, is, and will always be about. Millions of riders since 1958 have chosen Shoei helmets for a reason; they understand and recognize a quality helmet when they see one and they understand and appreciate the dedication that goes into every helmet that Shoei produces.

So, whether a rider needs a quality helmet for racing, dirt bike riding, or street riding, there is sure to be a Shoei model that will suit his or her individual needs. When looking for a quality motorcycle helmet, riders would do well to consider a 2005 Shoei helmet and experience the Shoei difference.
