                  Description

                  With the innovative and highly-acclaimed GT-Air as a baseline, the all-new GT-Air II was destined for greatness from the very start. Advancements in design, functionality and performance have further evolved SHOEI's premiere full-face touring helmet, yielding even easier adaptation to the ever-changing conditions throughout your journeys. Featuring a lengthened internal sun shield for optimal sun-glare protection, all-new "first position" shield opening for advanced ventilation and defogging, enhanced aerodynamics and noise-reduction technology, and the ability to seamlessly integrate with the all-new SENA SRL2 Communication System, the GT-Air II is equipped to accommodate your every need.

                  Aerodynamic Shell Design:

                  • Aerodynamic properties maximized through extensive wind tunnel testing and professional riders' feedback
                  • Multi-piece EPS liner enhances impact absorption and ventilation
                  • Molded air spoiler reduces drag and lift as well as diminishes pressure on the rider's neck while riding at speed

                  Sun Shield Visor System:

                  • Built-in QSV-2 sun shield gives riders instant relief from sun glare in one quick motion
                  • Visor meets ANSI Z80.3-2010 standard for non-prescription eyeglasses
                  • Large and easy to reach slider activates the 3D injection-molded inner sun shield
                  • Distortion-free shield blocks 99% of harmful UV rays
                  • Forehead area of the outer shell is raised slightly to accommodate the internal sun shield, allowing the integrity of the GT-Air's inner EPS liner to remain intact

                  Ventilation System:

                  • Redesigned upper air intake vent positioned to maximize air volume into the helmet interior
                  • Enlarged lower intake vent reduces shield fogging and increases ventilation
                  • Upper and lower intake vents are easy to operate even with gloved hands
                  • Rear/neck vents allow for effective air exhaust
                  • Three intake, six exhaust vents
                  • Breath guard and chin curtain included

                  Advanced Integrated Matrix (AIM):

                  • High performance fiber materials combined with elastic organic fibers to create a shell structure that is ultra-lightweight, rigid and resilient

                  Interior System:

                  • 3-D Max-Dry center pad and multi-layered, polyurethane foam cheek pads
                  • Chin curtain prevents wind entry and reduces noise
                  • Cheek pads are replaceable or removable for maintenance
                  • Eyeglass compatible interior
                  • E.Q.R.S. (Emergency Quick-Release System) allows emergency medical personnel to easily remove the cheek pads from the helmet of a rider involved in an accident, in turn making the Shoei GT-Air more easily removable

                  Micro Ratchet Chin-Strap:

                  • 100% stainless steel interlocking mechanism
                  • Quick, smooth and easy to operate

                  CNS-1 Shield System:

                  • CNS-1 three-dimensionally curved shield is both wider and taller than the CX-1V it replaces
                  • Includes Pinlock Anti-Fog Lens for more coverage of the CNS-1 shield
                  • Dual-Ridge window bead increases contact with the shield to reduce wind noise
                  • Scratch-resistant shield coating
                  • 99.9% protection from harmful UV A&B rays

                  Safety Certification:

                  Rated 4 out of 5 by from Shoei GT-Air II Redux helmet Very happy with this helmet. Comfortable, quiet, lightweight. Only down side is that it doesn't have a D-ring for locking to the motorcycle. Having said that, really enjoy the fast fastening clip

                  Rated 4 out of 5 by from Love this helmet! I got the green version of this helmet and so far love it! I bought size S and am a female rider for reference. I was worried that the pop down shades inside of the helmet wouldn't be dark enough for my sensitive eyes, but it has worked fantastically. My cardo system was easy to install and fits great. The only improvement I would like to have seen is that the helmet strap feels like it pushes into my neck a bit. I find myself readjusting the strap every so often, which works okay. Overall, I am super happy with this helmet!

                  Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceptionally comfortable! this helmet is amazing! I have a rather narrow head, and this model fits me very well. I used to wear Shark older models and this is a giant step up. Can’t comment on the quietness of it, all helmets seem loud. The internal dark shield is very useful if the day is cloudy with a potential for some sun. On a very bright day I wear fully tinted visor and sometimes even double up with internal shield when riding towards to sun. There is a lot of space in the front for a comm system mic. The visor replacement is a little tricky at first, but easy enough to figure out. Vents are adequate. Fast release strap is amazing! Overall the helmet is light enough and feels like you’re wearing a pillow on your head! Its that comfortable! Also it is superior in its aerodynamic quality. You definitely get what you pay for and this helmet is among the best!

                  Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best helmet I’ve ever had I was at a motorcycle shop looking for a new helmet and literally tried everything from Bell to HJC, Arai, you name it. Off the bat Shoei had a better fit for my head but in terms of quality, shoei made all the other helmets feel like kids toys or a Walmart bicycle helmet. It’s very light, very quiet, great ventilation, AAA aerodynamics, cannot live without creature comforts like quick release strap and integrated visor. But more importantly I’ve seen first hand that this helmet will save my dome in a crash. My best friend had a high speed low side, he hit his forehead on a rock and he suffused ZERO head injuries. Not even a headache. Only gripe is it is expensive but you pay for what you get, don’t cheap out on your helmet.

                  Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fantastic. Big upgrade from the Quest of 10 years ago. Better wind protection and noise. Excellent visor and field of view. Good ventilation. Love the built in shade lens. Only down side is the chin strap. It sits right on my apple and it's taking a bit to get used to. I'm sure it will wear in. Buy it.

                  Rated 5 out of 5 by from Confortable Très bon produit. Mon premier casque donc je ne peux pas vraiment comparer. Comme j’avais pas de système de communication, j’ai pris le Sena qui s’intègre au casque, un charme ! La vitre teintée direct dans le casque est vraiment pratique aussi.

                  Rated 5 out of 5 by from Haut de gamme pour touring Excellent casque pour touring et position de conduite droite sur moto d'aventure. Qualité Shoei mais il faut essayer en magasin pour faire un bon choix de grandeur. Je ne le conseille pas au proprios de motos sportive.

                  Questions

                  What's the shape of this helmet? Round, oval, or intermediate?

                  Asked by: Tomtom
                  From my experience I'd categorize it as a round to intermediate type.

                  J’aimerais savoir le fini  du noir sur la peinture sur le crossbar bleu , les images mes laisse croire que le noir et mat et que sur le  rouge et le jaune le noir semble lustré. Peut-être c’est seulement une question de photographie . 

                  Asked by: Chris
                  C'est seulement une appareance. Les 3 modèles sont noir mat.

                  can a cardo scala rider G9X comm unit be installed on this helmet? I do not want to purchase a new comm unit. I love my GT Air helmet that needs replacing and would like to replce it with the GT Air II

                  Asked by: RJack
                  I highly recommend finding the original GT Air on sale. This new model is meant to interface with a specific Sena comm, so won't work well with your G9X. It's also a bit heavier, costlier, and doesn't really improve on anything.

                  My head size is 58.5 and as a result im between sizes in most helmets. I tried a medium HJC Cl-17 and the cheek pads were too tight.  Does this fit true to size ? What size would you recommend 

                  Asked by: Hitmanjat
                  Yes, The Shoei GT-Air II Helmet is listed to fit true to size and we would recommend the L size.
