Shoei X-15 Marquez Barcelona Helmet

Shoei developed the X-15 with technologies born from racing with one mission in mind, to make the fastest riders on the planet even faster. By designing and refining the X-15 helmet in their state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility, Shoei was able to reduce drag by 6.1% and lift by 1.6% compared to it's predecessor the X-14. The X-15 features a Multi-Ply Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus (AIM+) Shell, a six-ply matrix of fiberglass with lightweight organic and high-performance fibers to provide optimal impact-absorption, strength and elasticity. Packed in the X-15's shell is a multitude of features fit for a pro and ready to boost your performance, safety and comfort.

Aerodynamic Shell Design

Designed and refined in Shoei’s state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility
6.1% reduction in drag and a 1.6% reduction in lift compared to the X-14
Over 150+ profile shape iterations enhance high-speed stability and reduce negative forces
Rear stabilizer system, concave of the shell surface and pronounced edges on the top left and right sides of the helmet enhance aerodynamic performance

Multi-Ply Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus (AIM+) Shell

Six-ply matrix of fiberglass with lightweight organic and high-performance fibers provide optimal impact-absorption, strength and elasticity
Four shell sizes

Multi-Piece Multi-Density EPS Liner

Optimized impact absorption thanks to varying densities of foam in key areas
Precise placement of multi-density EPS liner material yields a more compact, lightweight design
Strategically-located tunnels allow cooling air to travel unrestricted through the helmet
Small channel in the front chin bar area strategically designed to guide and receive hydration systems (including the optional Shoei Hydration tube – sold separately)

Ventilation System

Seven (7) closable air intakes and six (6) exhaust outlets
Air intakes are strategically shaped and located to maximize airflow and negative air pressure suction to the rear of the helmet
Ventilation tunnels in EPS liner enlarged to 10mm deep from 6mm in the previous model for superior ventilation
Innovative cheek pad cooling system by increasing the number of holes delivering refreshing air to the rider’s cheek area

Field of Vision

Revised eyeport trajectory from previous model increases the upper field of view by 5mm
DKS-304 PINLOCK EVO lens system is 10% larger than its predecessor and improves lateral field of vision thanks to relocated pins outside of the eyeport

CWR-F2R Shield & Base Plate System

Distortion-free view thanks to Shoei’s innovative 3D injection-molding process
Protects against 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays
CWR-F2R 2D “flat” outside surface combined with 3D technology inside offers an aggressive look with optimized visibility
Vortex Generators on the sides of the shield improve aerodynamics and reduce wind noise
Center locking mechanism helps to evenly distribute shield forces across both spring-loaded base plates
Exclusive two-stage shield locking system - center locking mechanism plus racing shield lock
Trigger lock mechanism prevents the shield from detaching during an impact or crash

3D Max-Dry Custom Interior System II

3D Max-Dry Custom Interior System II is fully removable, washable, adjustable and replaceable
Max-Dry liner material absorbs and dissipates sweat and moisture twice as fast as traditional nylon interiors
Independently adjustable 3D center pad components can be replaced with optional thicknesses to customize the fit
Each pocket-shaped pad has separate, removable layers that can be peeled away to further optimize the individual fit
Patented angle adjustment mechanism allows you to change the position of the helmet by up to 4-degrees to increase the upper field of vision while tucked in extreme racing positions
Surface area of the cheek pads has been enlarged by 16.5% from X-14 for a more secure and comfortable fit

Emergency Quick Release System (E.Q.R.S.)

Emergency Quick Release System that allows emergency medical personnel to easily remove the cheek pads from an injured rider’s helmet
