Helmet – Not only a protective race cap any longer

After what appeared like an unfathomable length of time of reckoning, we, at last, got the opportunity to look at Shoei's new X-Fourteen helmet (despite the fact that c'mon Shoei, we as a whole know it's truly the X-Thirteen). There's been a buzz that Shoei has actualized some new, noteworthy innovation into the X-14 plan and the buzz ended up being valid.

Besides the trademark Shoei quality, the X-Fourteen doesn't have much just the same as the X-Twelve. It's been being developed for as long as three years, and Shoei has procured top industry architects to idealize X-14's outline. The helmet shell has been re-outlined. A portion of the eminent contrasts incorporate a "layered" best surface, raise spoilers and back stabilizer which all enhance the optimal design and lessens turbulence at speed.

We are utilized to Shoei's X-arrangement being an incredible track helmet however deficient with regards to solace and reasonableness for everyday road utilize. Be that as it may, the X-Fourteen may conceivably turn into the new elite road utilize helmets. As a matter of first importance, Shoei has built up another ventilation framework. Not exclusively are there a lot of run of the mill air vents, yet Furthermore, Shoei likewise included a vent that leads straightforwardly to the puncturing in the cheek cushions.

Another reason the X-12 helmet dependably appeared to be more qualified for track utilize was the place in which it sat on your head. At the track, the riders sit in a considerably more powerful tucked position than one would be in all the time. In this way a standard, non-track arranged helmet frequently appears to sit somewhat low on the forehead, marginally discouraging the rider's view when he/she is tucked against the tank. Track helmets are intended to sit somewhat higher on the rider's set out permitting toward a full field of concept at the track yet not perfect for the road.

Also, to wrap things up, and this might be my most loved new component, is the completely adaptable crown liner. The crown liner on the X-Fourteen comprises of four separate pieces: focus cushion, two side cushions, and a back cushion. Shoei will now offer each of these items in various thicknesses permitting those with weight spots or "discharge spots" on the make a beeline for alter the fit by getting suitably fitting pieces. If you attempt on the X-14 and feel the weight on the back of your head, you would now be able to supplant the back bit of the crown liner with a more slender one mitigating the excruciating weight. So straightforward yet so virtuoso!

Two different things worth saying – the RF-1200 Photochromic Transition shield will fit right onto the X-14. In any case, if you want to utilize shield tear-offs, you'll need to stay with the X-14 particular shield as the Transition shield doesn't offer to detach pins.

We are super amped up for adding this helmet to our deliberately curated stock, and despite the fact that I'm consummately content with my RF-1200, I might need an update. I would go for a strong shading and paint the as of now silver stabilizers/spoilers to coordinate the shade of the helmet. Not certain why Shoei chose to make these silver rather than shading coordinating the helmet, not an enthusiast of that look.

For more data or to pre-arrange one of these terrible young men to guarantee you're one of the initial few to get your hands on one once they end up noticeably accessible toward the finish of 2017, look at our site.
