Why is proper helmet fitment important?
- Helps improve helmet safety
- Maximizes comfort
- Reduces noise levels and distractions
- Helps keep the helmet on the riderβs head during an accident
- Helps maximize the safety benefits of the helmet
- ***Safety standards (like DOT or SNELL) are valid only for properly fitting helmets
Finding the right size to start with:
- Pass a soft, flexible tape measure horizontally around the head, approximately 1-inch above the eyebrows
- Move the tape measure up and down slightly to find the largest measurement
- Cross reference with the appropriate size chart and select the helmet size that is closest to the measurement
- If the head measurement falls between 2 sizes, then try on the smaller of the 2 helmets first (use the size chart as a starting point)
When the helmet is on, complete these steps:
- Check that the helmet inner lining fits snugly all around the riderβs head
- Check that the top pad presses on the top of the riderβs head
- Check that the cheek pads press against the riderβs cheeks. When opening and closing the mouth, the riderβs teeth should drag along the inside of the cheeks.
Confirm these aspects of fitment:
- Make sure you CANNOT easily slide two fingers into the helmet along the side of the riderβs temple
- With the chinstrap properly fastened, grab the helmet with one hand on each side. Without moving the head, try to move the helmet up/down and side-to-side.
- The rider should feel the skin of the head and face being pulled as the helmet is moved, and it should not be easy to move.
- If the helmet can be moved around easily and does not βgrabβ the riderβs cheeks, it is TOO BIG!
Signs a helmet is TOO BIG:
- Helmet may βfallβ onto the head with little resistance
- Noticeably loose around the crown of the head
- Eyes are located near the top of the helmetβs viewpoint
- Helmet can move independently of the riderβs head, no pulling on the skin when helmet is moved up/down and side-to-side
Signs a helmet is TOO SMALL:
- Helmet will be extremely difficult to put on
- Likely to cause immediate pressure points
- Eyes are likely located lower within the helmetβs viewpoint
Signs a helmet fits PROPERLY:
- Helmet may take some effort to slide over head
- Helmet should fit snugly around the crown of the head, without overwhelming pressure
- Eyes are located in the center of the helmetβs viewpoint
Rotation Tests that must be performed:
STEP 1
- Securely fasten the chin strap
- Place your hands on the back of the helmet
- Try to push the helmet off by rotating it forward
STEP 2
- Place your hands on the front of the helmet
- Try pushing it off by rotating it rear-ward
RESULTS: With the correct size helmet, there should be LITTLE MOVEMENT, and the helmet should stay SECURELY IN PLACE.
Striking the optimal balance between on-and-off-road form and function, the Hornet X2 offers serious dual-sport enthusiasts the perfect helmet for all corners of their journey. Designed to maintain peak performance in every condition thrown its way without compromising the core values of a long distance touring helmet, the all-new Hornet X2 is a true all-road, all-weather helmet.
VISOR SYSTEM
The Hornet X2βs all-new V-460 visor was fine-tuned and perfected in SHOEIβs wind tunnel, and itβs innovative βwedgeβ shape and strategically placed louvers combine to yield the optimal balance between aerodynamics and traditional visor functionality.
Shield System
Along with the Hornet X2βs large eye port, the CNS-2 shield offers unparalleled vision across the entire optical range, and coupled with the innovative QR-N base plate, shield changes are quick and efficient for easy adaptation during your journey.
VENTILATION PERFORMANCE
A well-ventilated helmet is essential to dual-sport riding and its varying speeds, weather conditions, and levels of physical exertion, so the Hornet X2 spent priceless time in SHOEIβs wind tunnel achieving the perfect balance between airflow, silence, and functionality.
SAFETY
Few characteristics of a motorcycle helmet are as critical as its first and second layers of defense, which is precisely why the Hornet X2 features the SHOEI-exclusive Multi-Ply Matrix AIM+ shell and Dual-Layer, Multi-Density EPS liner.
COMFORT
The Hornet X2 is equipped with a fully removable, washable, adjustable, and replaceable 3D Max-Dry System II interior capable of dissipating sweat 2x faster than traditional nylon interiors.
