Shoei X-15 Marquez 8 Helmet

Shoei X-15 Marquez 8 Helmet Shoei pushes the boundaries of innovation with disruptive technology to bring you the X-15 helmet, for when the milliseconds count! Utilizing their state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility, Shoei designed the X-15 with 6.1% drag reduction and 1.6% lift reduction compared to its predecessor, the X-14. Inside its Multi-Ply Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus (AIM+) Shell, the X15 is jam-packed with a whole host of features that provide peak performance, comfort and safety. The search for peak performance need go no further than the X-15 from Shoei. Aerodynamic Shell Design Designed and refined in Shoei’s state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility 6.1% reduction in drag and a 1.6% reduction in lift compared to the X-14 Over 150+ profile shape iterations enhance high-speed stability and reduce negative forces Rear stabilizer system, concave of the shell surface and pronounced edges on the top left and right sides of the helmet enhance aerodynamic performance Multi-Ply Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus (AIM+) Shell Six-ply matrix of fiberglass with lightweight organic and high-performance fibers provide optimal impact-absorption, strength and elasticity Four shell sizes Multi-Piece Multi-Density EPS Liner Optimized impact absorption thanks to varying densities of foam in key areas Precise placement of multi-density EPS liner material yields a more compact, lightweight design Strategically-located tunnels allow cooling air to travel unrestricted through the helmet Small channel in the front chin bar area strategically designed to guide and receive hydration systems (including the optional Shoei Hydration tube – sold separately) Ventilation System Seven (7) closable air intakes and six (6) exhaust outlets Air intakes are strategically shaped and located to maximize airflow and negative air pressure suction to the rear of the helmet Ventilation tunnels in EPS liner enlarged to 10mm deep from 6mm in the previous model for superior ventilation Innovative cheek pad cooling system by increasing the number of holes delivering refreshing air to the rider’s cheek area Field of Vision Revised eyeport trajectory from previous model increases the upper field of view by 5mm DKS-304 PINLOCK EVO lens system is 10% larger than its predecessor and improves lateral field of vision thanks to relocated pins outside of the eyeport CWR-F2R Shield & Base Plate System Distortion-free face shield thanks to Shoei’s innovative 3D injection-molding process Protects against 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays CWR-F2R 2D “flat” outside surface combined with 3D technology inside offers an aggressive look with optimized visibility Vortex Generators on the sides of the shield improve aerodynamics and reduce wind noise Center locking mechanism helps to evenly distribute shield forces across both spring-loaded base plates Exclusive two-stage shield locking system – center locking mechanism plus racing shield lock Trigger lock mechanism prevents the shield from detaching during an impact or crash 3D Max-Dry Custom Interior System II 3D Max-Dry Custom Interior System II is fully removable, washable, adjustable and replaceable Max-Dry liner material absorbs and dissipates sweat and moisture twice as fast as traditional nylon interiors Independently adjustable 3D center pad components can be replaced with optional thicknesses to customize the fit Each pocket-shaped pad has separate, removable layers that can be peeled away to further optimize the individual fit Patented angle adjustment mechanism allows you to change the position of the helmet by up to 4-degrees to increase the upper field of vision while tucked in extreme racing positions Surface area of the cheek pads has been enlarged by 16.5% from X-14 for a more secure and comfortable fit Emergency Quick Release System (E.Q.R.S.) Emergency Quick Release System that allows emergency medical personnel to easily remove the cheek pads from an injured rider’s helmet Safety Certifications Snell M2025R certified ECE 22.06 certified DOT certified Note: Due to manufacturer restrictions, Shoei products can only be shipped to addresses within the United States.
