He’s World Champion again, for the eighth time, if you didn’t already know and you belong to a different planet. He’s also Shoei helmet’s most famous competitor wearing their superb (and according to our Bill, ‘the best helmet ever’), X-Spirit 3.

So if you’d like to wear one of ‘his’ beautiful and fetching matte finished designs, then these are what you need to own. Shoei would like to enforce that there’s absolutely NO difference between any X-Spirit 3 Marquez wears and these.

You might not win any titles owning either design, but you can pretend you just have, which is nice.

Or, ask your local Shoei dealer to acquire either item for you.

Can you believe we’re close to the year 2020, us neither? But to get things in motion how about some new and freshly designed Fox clothing?

The Airoh helmet range has always been a huge favorite with off-road and MX riders. They seem to enjoy the lightness and superb ventilation attributes of this well made, and designed, protective headwear.

Well, here’s an even better option because it’s the second generation of the Aviator platform. Improved aerodynamics and ventilation combine with the new graphics nicely, which are obviously aimed more towards the KTM rider, but other colour options are available. Not cheap, but top quality never is, right?

As far as graphics go this particular helmet has one of the most striking designs we’ve ever come across. Obviously this is a KTM specific product so anyone who owns any of their models will benefit, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s only for KTM owners.

You won’t have to buy a tinted visor either, because it also has a ‘drop-down’ internal visor to shield your eyes on a sunny day. Many ventilation ports will keep your brain cool and, for a change, it’s a very affordable helmet to purchase.
