Introducing the Shoei GT-Air: a technologically advanced, refined sports touring helmet providing advanced safety, comfort and protection.
Riding on the back of their endless successes, Shoei have lived up to expectations once again, with the remarkable GT-Air.
It is without doubt one of Shoei’s most impressive creations, incorporating previously unseen features into what must be the leading sports-touring lid of 2013:
- Internal sun visor – yes, this has been done by other brands for a few years now, but (some might say) at the costly expense of protection. The front part of the helmet where the sun visor retracts and emerges from is also one of the points most likely to encounter impact in the event of an accident. Shoei argued that by removing this protection in place of a chasm for a sun visor was significantly reducing safety. However, not one to rest on their laurels, Shoei have designed the GT-Air to incorporate a sun visor without sacrificing any of the original protective absorption to the front of the helmet. The sun visor works in addition to the existing protection that all Shoei’s helmets benefit from. The best of both worlds!
- Emergency Quick Release System – this intuitive and unique feature is most definitely reserved to only Shoei helmets, and in particular, Shoei’s premium race helmet, the X-Spirit II. The Emergency Quick Release System (EQRS) is a clever system which allows the cheek pads of the helmet to be removed whilst the helmet is still being worn. This means that, in the event of an accident, paramedics can remove the cheek pads first, and then remove the helmet without jarring or pulling on the head or spine. This is a remarkable safety feature, unseen in other helmet brands.
- Incredible aerodynamics and ventilation – the GT-Air can literally deliver gallons of air, keeping the hot-headed rider cool and collected. With multiple inlet and outlet vents channelled directly into the shell, the GT-Air excels in warm climates and demanding conditions. Moreover, the helmet is shaped to deliver superior aerodynamics, with a largely flush surface and a shell-integrated spoiler. This makes for an incredibly comfortable ride, even over long journeys. This helmet is designed for endurance.
- Fully removable inner lining – when you’re riding all day, every day, in tough conditions, it makes sense to have a helmet which is built to last. That is why the GT-Air benefits from a fully removable inner lining, which is washable and replaceable. Quick and easy to remove and care for, the inner liners are ultra wicking, meaning that they will dry quickly – ready for tomorrow’s ride.
Overall, the Shoei GT-Air is a strong contender for best helmet in the sport-touring helmet category for 2013.
This helmet really leaves nothing to chance; every detail is catered for; every need is met and exceeded. A superior helmet, well worth your attention.
