Shoei Motorcycle Helmets – Product of the Year
Since 1958, the Joint stock Japanese company Shoei has been producing quality motorcycle helmets. The company’s roots go back to the discovery of Kamata Polyester in 1954, when the first helmets were produced mainly for the use in the construction industry. 1960 marked the year when Shoei’s founder, Eitaro Kamata began manufacturing helmets for the motorcycle racing sector.
Headquartered in Taito, Tokyo, Japan, the factory produces each shoei motorcycle helmet to meet the Japanese Industrial standard which includes guidelines for classifying and numbering. The Honda Motor Company adopted the Shoei helmets as their “genuine” helmets in 1965. This very much increased the popularity and availability of the Shoei motorcycle helmets. Due to expansion, the currently operative factory in Iwate was built in 1989.
All Shoei helmets are designed and manufactured in Japan, although the product is distributed and sold globally. Despite their large success, the Shoei employs only about 500 people worldwide and the remain a relatively small company. Even so, Shoei’s GRV helmet was actually the first helmet to use carbon fiber and Kevlar. This makes the helmet’s material super durable and very light weight at the same time. Shoei was also the creator of the very first coverless shield system as well as the Duel Liner Ventilation system. In 2003, Shoei won the award for Product of the Year after their introduction of the flagship X-spirit which quickly became known as the most advanced helmet in the world.
The Shoei company has released several other award winning helmets such as the RF-1000 and the X-Eleven. Get a brand new shoei motorcycle helmet today and try out one of the best and safest helmets in the world.
