SHOEI has revealed a new graphic option called KABOOM for its Z-9 full-face helmet. The street-art-inspired design is built around the onomatopoeia for an explosion, priced at ¥85,800 tax included and launching in November 2026. It comes in two colorways, TC-5 (black/white) and TC-10 (white/blue), across sizes XS through XXL.

From someone who scrutinizes stitching and buckles, I respect that SHOEI didn't let this stop at a flashy graphic. Going by the numbers, it's not cheap, but the Z-9's core lightweight, compact performance stays intact underneath. This is design layered on top of quality you only notice after wearing it for hours.

As a first full-face buyer, a bold design like this takes some courage

November feels like a long wait, but I'll look forward to it

Two colorways and sizing up to XXL, that range is genuinely helpful

If the core lightweight construction hasn't changed, I can buy with confidence

85,800 yen is pricey, but it's SHOEI so I get it

Just the name KABOOM already sounds cool
