Introducing the Shoei J-Cruise II Open Face Helmets!
Looking for top-notch head protection? Well, Shoei's got your back, or rather, your head, with their latest release, the J-Cruise II. This premium tour helmet is the cream of the crop when it comes to fit, weight, and comfort. And let's not forget, its predecessor, the original J-Cruise, conquered the market without much fuss. So, naturally, expectations are sky-high for this new and improved version.
Crafted from Shoei's signature AIM multi-fibre material, the outer shell of the J-Cruise II is a solid yet compact masterpiece. Available in three sizes, you're guaranteed to find the perfect fit, which means maximum comfort and minimal weight for your noggin.
Now, let's talk visors. The J-Cruise 2 boasts a generously sized thermoplastic visor, giving it that extra edge in shape compared to your average visor. Plus, there's a neat 'double lip' feature at the bottom, ensuring the wind behaves itself and doesn't sneak under the visor. No wonder riders swear by this helmet, rain or shine.
While the visor remains unchanged, the base plates have levelled up. Now, you can pop the visor into a ventilation notch, a nifty addition missing from the previous model.
Spin the helmet around, and you'll spot a sleek spoiler, inspired by the Neotec II modular helmet. And let's not forget the iconic 'ducktail' diffuser by Shoei. The ventilation system has had a serious makeover too. With three air intakes at the top, this bad boy lets in 30% more cool air than its predecessor. Cool, huh?
And just like its siblings, the Neotec and GT-Air II, the J-Cruise is prepped for Sena SRL1 and SRL2 communication systems. No need to worry about disrupting the aerodynamics - these systems fit like a glove. The sun visor? It's 5mm longer than before, and it's as good as wearing your favourite shades.
Oh, and did we mention the Shoei Personal Fitting System? This means your helmet can be custom fitted just for you. As for availability, keep your eyes peeled in early 2020.
