GT-AIR II DESIGN CONCEPT

Released in 2013, as SHOEI’s premium touring full-face helmet with an internal sun shield, the original SHOEI GT-Air established this type of helmet as a functional and stylish alternative appreciated by many riders, owing to its convenience and aggressive, refined design. SHOEI has now released the all-new GT-Air II, a helmet that evolves the GT-Air’s functionality, performance, and design primarily for touring use to a new, higher level of experience. The SHOEI GT-Air II integrates the optional SENA SRL 2 Bluetooth communication system seamlessly into the concept of this helmet. The

GT-Air II is also equipped with a CNS-1 face shield and baseplate system; allowing the face shield to open slightly more in its “cracked open” position to reduce fogging of the shield at low speed. The GT-Air II also uses an all-new extended QSV-2 inner sun shield for improved coverage of the rider’s face in bright sunny conditions. Inheriting the functionality, performance, and design of the GT-Air, the GT-Air II further enhances the performance of the internal sun shield, full-face helmet.

AIM SHELL CONSTRUCTION Utilizing a multilayered structure of strong glass fiber and organic fibers, SHOEI’s AIM (Advanced Integrated Matrix) shell construction ensures a high-performance shell structure designed exclusively by SHOEI. AIM shell construction makes for a helmet that is light weight, yet rigid in elasticity. The GT-Air II offers proprietary technology that integrates a multi-ply matrix specifically designed to meet DOT stan- dards. SHOEI is uncompromising in their position to maintain a uniform level of safety with every one of their products, while pursuing optimum shell rigidity and lighter weight. • Light Weight & Optimum Rigidity UPDATED CNS-1 SHIELD & QSV-2 SUN SHIELD

• Improved Performance

The GT-Air uses the proven SHOEI CNS-1 face shield. The base plates for this face shield have been redesigned for improved opening per- formance in the “cracked open” position. Based on SHOEI’s landmark QR-N base plate, this updated design adds a new opening position for keeping the shield slightly more open in this first open (or “cracked open”) position, thus giving a rider more ventilation options. The gear teeth of the base plate have been redesigned to make the face shield’s first open position have a taller opening, improving ventilation to a rider’s face in foggier, moist conditions. The GT-Air II’s redesigned base plate also moves the face shield’s attachment point back on the shell, positioning the shield closer to the rear of the helmet. This new location adds a gap between the rear edge of the baseplate and the indentation on the attachment. This design change improves the shield’s adjustment range, and makes opening and closing the face shield easier for the rider.

CNS-1 Shield

The GT-Air II includes a built-in sun shield, the QSV-2. The sun shield tucks neatly away beneath a non-intrusive shell built into the helmet’s liner and can be lowered with the easy control of a sliding switch.
