The latest and greatest all-new SHOEI X-Spirit III top of the line helmet is track certified by Marc Marquez & the rest of the SHOEI sponsored riders in the MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 world championship.  The X-Spirit III is a proven race weapon for those who aren’t willing to sacrifice a single detail when it comes to high-end performance.

Like the handcrafted race bikes that dominate MotoGP’s premiere racing circuits, every detail of the X-Spirit III was carefully designed, tested and fine-tuned until this final, uncompromised masterpiece was born.  The Shoei X-Spirit III was tested in SHOEI’s wind tunnel for next-level aerodynamics and ventilation. Boasting enhanced high-speed stability while reducing drag and negative forces, ventilation performance features innovative cheek pad cooling system.

Marc Marquez stated upon the release of this new model: “The new X-Spirit III is an evolution of the X-Spirit II.  It’s an incredible helmet, improved in all its parts, with particularly attention to the aerodynamic design.”  “The ventilation has improved too.  In fact, there are more exits for the air.”  “I love the shape.  It’s much more modern compared to the previous model.”  “I have been with Shoei since 2010 and from the very first moment I knew that this was my helmet.”  “In the last months I have given my comments and suggestions.  I would like to thank Shoei for their full commitment to safety and for their constant dedication to development.  Safety is vital in our sport.”
