Since its introduction in 2010, the X-Twelve has been highly regarded as the most advanced motorcycle helmet available. As a continuation from the extreme success of the X-Eleven, Shoei was able to vastly improve the features and benefits through increased ventilation, field of vision, areodynamics and safety. Comprised of 5 Intake and 10 Exhaust vents, the X-Twelve is one of the most ventilated helmets in the world. The improved CW-1 face shield is both taller and wider than the CX-1V that it has replaced. Aerodynamic properties are maximized through extensive wind tunnel testing and professional riders' feedback. Meets and Exceeds both DOT-218 and SNELL-2010 helmet certifications.
