Q.R.S.A.
(Quick Release Self-Adjusting) Base Plate System
Need to change from clear to tint? SHOEI’s Quick Release Self-Adjusting
(QRSA) base plate system includes a locking mechanism that allows you
to do just that in a snap—no tools, no hassle, no problems!
Building on the successful
QRBP, the QRSA maintains its predecessor’s easy-to-use features—like
our simple shield release and attachment, and shield preset lever—but
offers a significant advantage. SHOEI’s patented new spring-loaded
technology featured in the QRSA eliminates the need to adjust the base
plates for proper sealing. Every time the shield is lowered, the spring-loaded
base plates pull the shield back to contact the window beading evenly,
ensuring a wind and waterproof seal.
CW-1 Shield
The all-new CW-1 shield is both wider and taller than the CX-IV that it
replaces. In addition, the CW-1 shield protects SHOEI riders from 99%
of the sun’s damaging UVA and UVB rays, and our three-dimensional
injection-molding process ensures distortion free vision. Another advantage
of the CW-1 shield is its ability to work in conjunction with SHOEI’s
optional Pinlock system to deliver fog-free vision in even the most challenging
conditions. The new CW-1 Pinlock lens is larger, and offers fog-free viewing
to the very top of the helmet’s larger eye port.
Aero Edge 2 Spoiler
The X-Twelve's Aero Edge 2 Spoiler helps minimize lift at high speeds,
and thus wind drag from the rider and motorcycle. In addition, increased
negative air pressure improves exhaust performance to help ventilate the
helmet.
AIM+
Shell Contruction (Snell M2010)
SHOEI's proprietary AIM+ technology combines fiberglass with organic fibers
that are so strong they can only be cut with a laser. The end result is
a stronger, lighter shell that will absorb and distribute the force of
an impact safely and efficiently.
Ventilation System
It's not uncommon for a racing environment to get blazing hot, which is
why ventilation was a top priority when designing the new X-Twelve. The
X-Twelve features five (5) intake and ten (10) exhaust vents, making it
the most aggressively ventilated helmet SHOEI has ever produced. Wind
tunnel testing identified the very best locations and shapes of intake
and exhaust ports to maximize airflow, including the suction effect that's
created as low pressure air travels toward the rear of the helmet. With
this in mind, the X-Twelve features new Side Extractor Vents developed
by our MotoGP racing service to help clear warm, humid air from the racer's
face.

3D Max Dry
Interior System
The X-Twelve is equipped with a fully removable, washable, and replaceable
3D Max Dry liner. SHOEI's proprietary Max Dry material has been proven
to absorb and dissipate sweat two-times faster than traditional nylon
interiors. In addition, the X-Twelve's interior components are three-dimensionally
shaped to match the contours of a rider's head.
E.Q.R.S.
Emergency Release System
Mechanical tabs disengage cheek pads for easy removal by emergency medical
personnel. Helmet can be removed with minimum load to rider in emergency
situations.
Chin Guard
The chin curtain can be inserted into the lower edge of the chin bar to
reduce wind turbulence and noise.
5 Shell Sizes
While some of our competitors rely on foam padding for fitting a wide
range of customers, SHOEI offers an industry-leading five shell sizes
in the new X-Twelve to ensure a custom fit for heads between the sizes
of XS-XXL.
Dual-Layer
EPS Liner
- Dual layer liner yields enhanced impact absorption by adjusting thickness
and density in key areas
- Inner liner features air channels for efficient cooling
- Impact-absorbing EPS liner throughout the entire chin bar
