Aerodynamic Performance
Among the most important and widely studied properties in racing, no stone was left unturned during the development of the X-Fifteen’s aerodynamics. Designed and refined in SHOEI’s state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility, the X-Fifteen boasts impressive improvements in all aerodynamic performance measurables.
Learn More
- Refined in SHOEI’s wind tunnel to yield the most streamlined and stable X-Series helmet ever
- Boasts impressive reductions in drag (6.1%) and lift (1.6%) as compared to its predecessor
- Bottom third of helmet (from chin bar to rear of shell) has been narrowed, and, together with updated rear stabilizer and flap designs, achieves optimal balance and stability
- Pronounced edges on the top left and right sides enhance aerodynamic performance by allowing wind to stream off the helmet with minimal resistance
- 150+ profile shape iterations were tested and refined during the X-Fifteen’s aerodynamic development
- Aerodynamic optimization was achieved in numerous riding and racing positions, with an emphasis placed on high-speed stability at speeds in excess of 218 mph
Racing Shield System
The X-Fifteen’s CWR-F2R racing shield system features improved visibility, functionality and performance over its predecessor, and like all SHOEI shield systems, protects against 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays. Thanks to SHOEI’s innovative 3D injection-molding process, the CWR-F2R shield offers a distortion-free view throughout the entire X-Fifteen eyeport

- Protects from 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays
- Distortion-free view throughout the entire X-Fifteen eyeport
- “Flat” outside surface (for racing tearoffs) 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
- Redesigned base plate system enables smoother shield openings and closures
- SHOEI’s patented spring-loaded technology ensures a wind and waterproof seal
- Latest generation window beading prevents wind and water intrusion when the shield is locked
TWO-STAGE SHIELD LOCKING SYSTEM
Learn More
- Exclusive two-stage shield locking system features a center locking mechanism and racing shield lock
- Two-stage system provides optimal protection against unexpected shield releases in the event of a fall
- New trigger lock mechanism [once activated] provides additional assurance by preventing shield detachments during an impact
- Center locking mechanism helps to evenly distribute shield forces across both spring-loaded base plates
Safety
Few characteristics of a motorcycle helmet are as critically important as its first and second layers of defense, which is precisely why the X-Fifteen features the SHOEI-exclusive Multi-Ply Matrix AIM+ shell and Multi-Piece, Multi-Density EPS lMULTI-PLY MATRIX

- Proprietary technology integrates a six-ply matrix
- Hand-laid interwoven layers of fiberglass with lightweight organic and high-performance fibers
- Provides optimal impact-absorption, strength and elasticity
- Snell M2020R and ECE22.06 certified
Learn More
- Provides optimized impact absorption by utilizing varying densities of foam in key areas around the head
- Precise placement of multi-density EPS material yields a more compact, lightweight design
- Features strategically located tunnels that allow cooling air to travel unrestricted through the helmet
- Enlarged EPS tunnels (from 6mm to 10mm in depth) dramatically increase cool-air volume and the rate of hot-air expulsion
Learn More
- Allows emergency medical personnel to easily and safely remove the cheek pads from an injured rider’s helmet
- Helmet can be gently removed from an injured rider’s head with minimal load placed on his/her neck
COMFORT
The X-Fifteen is equipped with a fully removable, washable, adjustable, and replaceable 3D Max-Dry Custom Interior System II that features innovative, patented comfort and performance technology.
3D MAX-DRY CUSTOM INTERIOR SYSTEM II
