Shoei X-SPR Pro 02 Matt Black FIM 2 - FIM 2-certified racing helmet for demanding track riders

The Shoei X-SPR Pro 02 Matt Black FIM 2 takes Shoei's racing philosophy even further with the new FIM FRHPhe-02 certification, aerodynamics designed for very high speeds, and the high level of craftsmanship expected from a helmet developed for competition.

Shoei X-SPR Pro 02 Matt Black FIM 2: Directly Inspired by Competition

As speeds increase, every detail of the helmet begins to matter. Position behind the visor, stability under braking, airflow, and visibility when entering a turn: the Shoei X-SPR Pro 02 was designed with these specific demands of sports riding and track use in mind.

This new Matt Black version meets the FIM FRHPhe-02 certification standard--which will become mandatory in 2026 for relevant FIM championships--while retaining European ECE 22.06 certification. Beneath its understated yet radical matte black finish, its AIM+ shell combines multiple layers of high-performance fibers to deliver strength, impact absorption, and a lightweight design.

At high speeds, the aerodynamic design really comes into its own. The shell profile, integrated spoiler, vortex generators, chin guard deflector, and rear stabilizers all help keep the helmet securely in place when you accelerate hard or approach your braking point. Shoei states that the design is engineered for speeds of up to 350 km/h.

The Shoei X-SPR Pro 02 Matt Black FIM 2 also features the CWR-F2R racing visor, designed to accommodate a Pinlock insert and tear-offs, as well as a dual-locking system. A true racing helmet setup, plain and simple.

Why choose the Shoei X-SPR Pro 02 FIM 2?

Designed for the track: its aerodynamics, ventilation, and racing visor really come into their own when the pace picks up and you adopt a sporty riding position behind the visor.

Customizable fit: Shoei offers cheekpads in different thicknesses, allowing you to fine-tune the fit to achieve the firm support needed for sporty riding.

A true competition setup: a double D chin strap, EQRS, tear-off visor, and a hydration system designed for long-distance races round out its features.

A no-nonsense look: In Matt Black, the Shoei X-SPR Pro 02 lets its aerodynamic lines speak for themselves. No need for flashy graphics to realize this is a helmet designed with the track in mind.

Comfort and Ventilation

A racing helmet can quickly become uncomfortable as the laps pile up. Shoei has therefore optimized airflow all the way down to the lower part of the helmet thanks to a ventilation system integrated into the cheekpads.

The 7 air intakes and 6 exhaust vents create significant airflow around the head, while the various interior components can be removed for cleaning or replaced with different thicknesses to adjust the fit.

Care Instructions

After a day of riding, let the helmet air dry before storing it in its bag. Since the interior is removable and washable, you can regularly clean the inner liner and cheekpads with lukewarm water and a mild detergent, then let them air dry. Shoei specifically recommends cleaning the assembled inner liner.

For the visor, use a clean microfiber cloth and avoid harsh cleaning products that could damage the surface treatments. Also, be sure to regularly check the visor mechanism, the vents, and the condition of the Pinlock, especially if your Shoei X-SPR Pro 02 spends a lot of time on the track.
