Major helmet maker SHOEI is running its 'Young Rider Support Campaign' for riders aged 16 to 24. From August 1 to September 28, 2026, participants can buy the full-face 'Wyvern Ø' or 'GT-Air 3' at a discounted price.
Making premium full-face helmets like the Wyvern and GT-Air3 more accessible to younger riders -- I want to fully back this initiative. A helmet's real differences only show up after hours of wearing it. Not compromising because it's cheap, but getting to a good one sooner. Creating that entry point matters a great deal.

Efforts to broaden access to safety gear should be a plus for the whole industry.
It feels rare for SHOEI to run an initiative like this aimed at younger riders, given they usually go high-end.
Is the Wyvern Ø a new SHOEI series? Never heard of it before.
I believe that was the flagship model that succeeded the Z-8.
Narrowing the target to ages 16-24 probably reflects an aim to invest in safety for the newly-licensed generation.
Getting proper helmets to young riders, who have higher accident rates, is a well-targeted, good initiative.
Glad the GT-Air 3 is included—that's a helmet that's pretty pricey.
Sounds like it's limited-time, so if your kid fits the criteria, buying now is probably the better deal.
Getting good helmets to young riders at a low cost is a campaign with a ton of real value.
