Shoei JO2 - The new open face helmet classic for freedom-lovers

The successful evolution of a cult helmet

The Shoei JO2 is the long-awaited evolution of the famous JO, the vintage-style open face helmet that has won over fans of stylish, authentic riding since its launch in 2016. Shoei hasn't contented itself with a simple facelift. With the JO2, the Japanese brand pushes back the standards of the premium open face helmet: increased safety, meticulous fit, sublime finishes and top-of-the-range comfort, all in a timeless design that crosses the ages without ever losing its modernity.

Nothing beats the feeling of the warm wind on your face when you're out riding at the end of the day. Shoei has encapsulated this feeling of total freedom in the JO2. Designed for bikers who like to feel the road, live their machine, and ride unfiltered. Whether you're into urban café racer cruising, neo-retro road trips or Sunday scrambles, the JO2 is for you.

Its ultra-resistant AIM shell protects where it counts. Its adjustable CJ-4 screen, subtly integrated, improves aerodynamics while protecting you from wind and spray. The interior, made of imitation leather and top-of-the-range textiles, is as pleasant as it is easy to care for. And with its four shell sizes, it fits your head perfectly without compromising on aesthetics: no "bulb-head" effect, even in small sizes.

An open face helmet that combines style, performance and customization

The Shoei JO2 is also a platform for customization. The three front rivets accommodate the optional V-480 visor for an even more pronounced café racer look. Available in a range of sober or more assertive colors, this is an open face helmet that blends in with your riding style, as well as your style in general.

Designed for vintage enthusiasts and lovers of clean lines, the JO2 stays true to classic aesthetics while incorporating Shoei's latest technical advances. AIM shell, integrated CJ-4 adjustable screen, premium interior, 4 shell sizes for a perfect fit: nothing has been left to chance. The JO2 is the top-of-the-range open face helmet for neo-retro and modern roadsters alike. Complete it with the optional V-480 visor for an even more retro touch.

Frequently asked questions :

What's the difference between the Shoei JO and the JO2?
The JO2 brings several major evolutions: a more efficient CJ-4 screen, a more refined interior, improved safety with ECE 22.06 standards, and the possibility of adding a front visor via rivets.

Can this open face helmet be used on freeways?
Yes, the JO2 is approved for all types of road. It's still an open face helmet, which means it's more exposed than a full-face helmet, but it's perfectly suited to urban and suburban commuting at reasonable speeds.

How well does it hold up in the wind at high speeds?
Thanks to its compact shape, streamlined shell and adjustable CJ-4 screen, the JO2 offers excellent stability up to intermediate speeds. It is far less prone to turbulence than most conventional jets.
