The much anticipated release of the GT Air to the local market has finally materialized!

Shoei developed the GT Air with the sport touring rider in mind. As such the helmet is extremely comfortable and boasts features that are both convenient and practical. The sporty, yet super quiet helmet was developed using the advanced wind tunnel facilities at Shoei.
Perhaps the most noticeable design feature is the indentations on either side of the crown of the helmet. Aside from presenting a sporty and aggressive appearance they also represent an aerodynamic and safety element. The appearance of the indentation is accentuated by the bulge at the front of the head which is a housing space that accommodates the inner sun visor without compromising the safety integrity of the shell.

The built-in sun visor is the first such feature in a Shoei full-face helmet and follows the design features of the Shoei Neotec. The sun visor lever mechanism is conveniently located on the left side next to the visor. This means that the lever is away from where any after-market communications systems might be fixed.
The visor conforms to European sunglass standards and offers more than 99% UV protection.

The GT Air is equipped with the same CNS-1 shield as the Neotec that offers improved visibility and reduced wind noise. The Pinlock system is standardized to contribute toward a more comfortable and safe ride through reduced fogging.

The advanced ventilation design of the GT Air includes 2 upper air intake entrances and 1 exhaust vent as well as a lower intake. All ventilation parts are adjustable to suit conditions and rider preferences.

The stainless steel micro ratchet chinstrap with steel interlocking mechanism offers maximum safety and at the same time minimizes wind noise.

Shoei is synonymous with helmet safety and the highly regarded AIM (Advanced Integrated Matrix) Shoei shell structure offers the lightest possible weight without compromising safety. The GT Air also includes the EQRS (Emergency Quick Release System) that is also found on other Shoei helmets such as the XSpirit 2 and VFXW.

Recommended retail starts from: R6,750.00 (Including VAT)

Shoei helmets are available via AMP listed dealers. For any queries please call AMP at 011 259 7750.
