Shoei NXR2 Ideograph TC-5

Shoei NXR2 - Performance, comfort and safety for free, focused riding

The heir to the NXR makes its debut with a brand-new generation of top-of-the-range, sporty full-face helmets complying with ECE 22.06 standards.

With the Shoei NXR2, the Japanese brand signs a controlled and ambitious evolution of its best-selling NXR. More aerodynamic, quieter and even more comfortable, the NXR2 is designed for demanding bikers, whether on the road or the track. It retains a compact, sober and sharp design, with sharper lines and a streamlined visual signature.

Developed in the Shoei wind tunnel, the NXR2 reduces lift by 6% and drag by 4% compared to its predecessor. Its new CWR-F2 screen, redesigned interior in 3D Max-Dry fabric, repositioned vents and ultra-high-performance AIM+ shell make it a true sport-touring helmet, as enjoyable on long rides as it is in committed riding. A helmet that perfectly links sportiness, stability and serenity.
