PRODUCTION and QUALITY ASSURANCE

For all the energy and passion invested into the development of a product, the same level of care and due diligence must be achieved during the production process. A number of unique, state-of-the-art processes combine to yield the unrivaled quality that only SHOEI helmets are known for, and each helmet must pass several rigorous inspections throughout the production process before being awarded the famous SHOEI hexagon. The actual production of a single SHOEI helmet takes up to five days.

Once this process is complete, all helmets are thoroughly inspected to ensure that they have the correct material thickness and weight.
