The difference between a race win and second-place finish can be decided by mere milliseconds, which is precisely why World Champions like Marc Marquez choose the all-new SHOEI X-Fourteen to help shave time off of every lap. Track certified by the fastest rider on the planet, the X-Fourteen is a proven race weapon for those who aren’t willing to sacrifice a single detail when it comes to high-end performance. Like the handcrafted race bikes that dominate MotoGPs premiere racing circuits, every detail of the X-Fourteen was carefully designed, tested and fine-tuned until this final, uncompromised masterpiece was born. The X-Fourteen,When milliseconds count.
Design Concept
Developed utilizing rider input from the worlds top racers like Marc Marquez and Bradley Smith Tested in SHOEIs wind tunnel for next-level aerodynamics and ventilation Enhanced high-speed stability while reducing drag and negative forces Ventilation performance features innovative cheek pad cooling system Patent-pending adjustable/rotating liner components for customizable fit and greater field of vision
Aerodynamics
Refined in SHOEIs wind tunnel to yield the most aerodynamic and stable X-Series helmet yet All-new shell shape along with a completely redesigned, patent-pending Rear Stabilizer Standard Rear Flaps can be replaced with optional, narrower flaps to customize aerodynamics Strategically placed ridges along the top shell and chin bar reduce turbulence and drag Maximizes high-speed stability while reducing negative forces to the rider
Ventilation Performance
Boasts six (6) air intakes and six (6) exhaust outlets optimized for maximum airflow All-new cheek pad cooling system Newly positioned side air outlets improve hot air expulsion Wind tunnel-optimized to excel in the tucked racing position, even behind windscreens
Rear Stabilizer / Rear Flaps
Redesigned, patent-pending Rear Stabilizer maximizes high-speed stability while reducing negative forces on the rider Standard Rear Flaps can be replaced with optional, narrower flaps to customize aerodynamics depending on rider preference and track demands
CWR-F Race Shield
Protects from 99% of the suns damaging UV rays Innovative new ribs on top and bottom edge improve rigidity and eliminate bending Exclusive, patent-pending Vortex Generators reduce air friction All-new double shield locking mechanism prevents unwanted shield openings Provides a flat surface to accommodate racing tear-offs Comes equipped with Pinlock EVO fog-resistant system
QR-E Base Plate System
Facilitates quick and smooth shield changes SHOEIs patented spring-loaded technology ensures a wind and waterproof seal Strengthened springs for more precise functionality Innovative five-stage rotating dial for shield/base plate fine-tuning
Multi-Ply Matrix AIM+ Shell
Proprietary technology integrates a six-ply matrix Hand-laid interwoven layers of fiberglass with organic fibers and resin SHOEI's strongest, lightest, most elastic shell
Dual-Layer / Multi-Density EPS Liner
Provides enhanced impact absorption by utilizing varying densities of foam Allows cooling air to travel unrestricted through tunnels created in the EPS Precise placement of multi-density EPS material yields a more compact, lightweight design
3D Max-Dry Custom Interior
Fully removable, washable, replaceable & adjustable Exclusive Max-Dry material absorbs and dissipates sweat twice as fast as traditional nylon All-new cheek pad cooling system delivers refreshing air to riders cheek area Patent-pending rotating liner components increase upper field of vision when in tucked racing position Optional sizes of each section of the center pad for a completely customizable fit Three-dimensionally shaped to match the c
