Arguably the most desired helmet currently available, for two reasons. One: it’s Shoei’s most advanced top of the range racing helmet they’ve ever made and two: this is the exact same helmet Marc Marquez wears in Moto GP. Well in his graphics that is, but there is NO difference between the one you’d buy and his – say no more!
Besides all that Bill has been wearing a stunning matt black version and here’s his take on this amazing new Shoei.
Bill (Sir William of Nottingham): I’ve owned the previous X-Spirit II so I was more than excited to get my head into the third version and wow! Even thought the ‘3’ is a purpose built race helmet it’s ten times more comfortable than the previous model. It’s quiet to the point of it can easily be used for touring and the new ventilation system is second to none. Inside you can alter the position of internal parts to suit your head shape, which is impressive. But the best bit is it looks and feels fantastic and well worth the price that’s predictably high. The best Shoei ever made for sure, so if you have the cash don’t hesitate just buy one. You will not be disappointed believe me?
Price: From R11,000 depending on graphics. Dark and tinted visors are around R800, which you must have of course.
Call: Your local Shoei dealer or go to www.ampsa.co.za (011 259 7750) to locate one.
