SHOEI has been dedicated to leading edge helmet technology since 1958. Shoei was started by the immense spirit and determination of its founder Eitaro Kamata, who designed his first products exclusively for the racing sector. What is amazing even by today’s standards is the pace at which SHOEI became popular world wide, starting in the late sixties, SHOEI’s reputation as a top quality brand spread initially over the U.S., then later to the markets of Europe.

To really appreciate a SHOEI helmet, regardless of model, it is essential to know what makes it so different from anything else in the world. A SHOEI helmet is manufactured using a process combining computer controlled machines and assembly by hand resulting in superior, long lasting quality.

Through use of computer controlled lasers and water jets to precision cut eye port and vent openings
Precision machines used to punch holes for base plate screw location (different tooling for each shell size and model)
Computer controlled painting for white, black and Monza red colors
All other colors are hand painted to ensure superior finish, which no machine can match
The comfort, which you experience whenever you put on a SHOEI, comes from an interior assembled by hand
The shell, which gives you first the line of protection, is “bag molded” by hand, which insures accuracy in the placement of the various high tech materials used in shell construction
