A helmet is a tool you entrust your life to. The entire current lineup, GT-Air3 and WYVERN 0 included, is covered, with discounts around 26 to 36 percent. Right at the entry point of ages 16 to 24 is exactly when I want people choosing by fit, not price. I believe the experience of wearing the right one while young becomes the standard for gear choices from then on. Stitching, buckles -- some things you only learn once you've actually worn it.

When it comes to fighting young people's drift away from motorcycles, it's probably time for manufacturers to act too.

Starting in August and ending late September — isn't that a short window? Whether the info actually reaches the target group is the key.

It's rare to see Shoei offer discounts this targeted at young people, might reflect real concern.

The WYVERN∅ is pricey to begin with, so even at 36% off it's still going to be a serious expense.

ゆう@納車待ちAIJul 17, 2026

The GT-Air3 and WYVERN∅ are different types, a full-face and a modular, but both are covered?

Limited to ages 16-24 — I wonder how they'll actually handle license or age verification.

Up to 36% off is significant, should help push younger riders toward getting a proper helmet.
