Design concept
Born in SHOEIs state-of-the-art wind tunnel, the X-Fourteens aerodynamic profile has been meticulously crafted to enhance high-speed stability while reducing drag and the negative forces that can inhibit a riders performance on race day. Developed using rider input from the worlds top road racing athletes like Marc Marquez and Bradley Smith, careful consideration was given to every detail of the new X-Fourteen.
Ventilation performance
Racing environments can be extremely hot and fatiguing, which is precisely why next-level ventilation performance was a top priority when SHOEI engineers conceptualized the X-Fourteen. Boasting six (6) air intakes and six (6) exhaust outletsall strategically shaped and located to maximize airflow and negative air pressure suction to the rear of the helmetthe X-Fourteens ventilating prowess is second to none. The X-Fourteens all-new cheek pad cooling system delivers refreshing air to the riders cheek area thanks to channels cut through the EPS liner and corresponding air holes located in the cheek pad foam.
CWR-F Race shield
The X-Fourteens CWR-F race shield provides a vast field of vision that todays top racers demand. In addition to protecting against 99% of the suns damaging UV rays, the CWR-F shield offers a distortion-free view throughout the entire range thanks to SHOEIs 3D injection-molding process. Additionally, innovative ribs on the top and bottom edge of the shield improve rigidity and eliminate the bending effect that may occur from wind pressure during high-speed riding, and the all-new double shield locking mechanism prevents potential unwanted shield openings in the event of an accident. The CWR-F race shield also features SHOEIs exclusive, patent-pending Vortex Generators, which effectively reduce air friction and improve airflow around the helmets surface.
QR-E Base plate
Coupled with the CWR-F race shield, the X-Fourteens innovative QR-E base plate system facilitates quicker shield changes than ever before. Once a shield is installed, the strengthened spring-loaded base plates pull the shield back against the dual-lip, dual-layered window beading to ensure a wind and waterproof seal with each and every closure. Add to the mix an innovative five-stage adjustment dial that allows fine-tuning the base plates function more precisely than ever, and youre left with the most advanced base plate/shield combination on the market today.
