Shoei X-15 Marquez Dazzle Helmet

Shoei X-15 Marquez Dazzle 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

Safety Certifications

• Snell M2020R certified
• ECE-22.06 certified
• DOT certified
