A helmet is something you wear for long stretches, so raising comfort and convenience is appreciated above all else. If SHOEI's Z series evolves while keeping its lightweight, compact philosophy, it becomes a reliable travel companion. Looking forward to the September release, and what kind of fit it ends up delivering.

Can the Z series actually be used for touring, or is it sport-only?

For touring the GT-Air's more comfortable, the Z's built for a forward-leaning position.

Shoei's Z line has always suited smaller Japanese heads, a smaller shell is righteous.

Probably gonna land around ¥70,000. SHOEI fits great, but it hits the wallet.

It's pricey, but you shouldn't cut corners on protecting your head.

They always say 'lightweight and compact,' but how many grams lighter than the Z-8? Can't trust it without that number.

If the weight's still undisclosed, it's likely the internals are just carried over from the Z-8.

So a natural evolution from the Z-8, this has my attention, September feels far away though.
