SHOEI has paved the way for racing and street helmets for over five decades, and their dedication to quality and design is just one reason why Honda Motors decided to make SHOEI helmets their official helmet of choice for racing back in 1968. Despite being formed in 1959, SHOEI is still a relatively small company -- employing less than 500 employees world-wide -- however, they are still dedicated to providing millions of their customers with the latest breakthrough technology and gear every day.
Ever since their inception SHOEI has designed some of the most advanced helmets ever produced for the general public, and in 2003 "Motorcycle News Magazine" named SHOEI's flagship helmet -- the X-Spirit -- the motorcycle product of the year. SHOEI did not stop with that victory, though, and have continued to introduce new and better models of their helmets each and every year -- not just building off past successes, but starting from scratch whenever needed to create the best possible products for all riders.
SHOEI helmets have shells made from the highest-quality materials, such as carbon fiber and Kevlar, and their full-face helmets feature comfortable interiors which are multi-layered with polyurethane to protect your cheeks and chin, all while still being amazingly soft and comfortable to wear under any riding conditions.
Always on the cutting edge of design and creativity, SHOEI has recently introduced their first dual-sport specific helmet, the Hornet-DS -- giving you the ability to purchase one helmet that will fit both your motocross or street bike needs. Motocross enthusiasts should also check out SHOEI helmets such as the VFX-W, which shows of their new 3D Max-Dry Removable Liner-System which keeps your head twice as dry as many other leading brands.
No matter if you're a motocross rider looking for a helmet that screams "winner," or you're just a cruiser looking for a simple way to keep you safe while winding through a canyon road, SHOEI provides all the helmet choices you could possibly want. And LeatherUp provides SHOEI helmets at the best prices you could possibly hope for -- guaranteed.
