From the X-Fifteen race helmet to the J-Cruise 3 open face. Here is how the six current lines differ, side by side, so you can pick the one that fits how you ride.
Every line here is built on Shoei's own AIM or AIM+ (Advanced Integrated Matrix) shell over an EPS liner.
XS (53–54 cm) to 3XL (65–66 cm), the same chart for every Shoei. Measure about an inch above your eyebrows.
Each shield fits the helmets named on it. Spares in clear, tint and mirror are further down this page.
Each line comes in solid colours and graphics. A graphic has the same shell and spec as its line; only the paint is different. Shoei names each graphic's colourway with a TC code (TC-1, TC-5 and so on).

Weights are Shoei's figures for a size Medium in a solid colour, helmet only. A dash means Shoei's copy does not say. The SHOEI Comlink takes the Sena SRL 3, sold separately.
You race, or you do track days and want what the grid wears.
You ride sport bikes on the street and do the odd track day.
You want a Shoei full face without paying for the top of the range.
You tour, and the light changes on you mid-ride.
You stop often and want to talk or drink without taking your helmet off.
You ride a cruiser or around town and like the open feel.
Pass a soft tape measure around your head about an inch above your eyebrows, at the widest point. Shoei's chart is the same for every line:
Between two sizes? Shoei says try the smaller one first.
Shoei paints its lines in graphics and rider replicas: Marc and Alex Márquez, Wayne Gardner and more. A graphic uses the same shell, liner and shield as the plain helmet in its line, so the comparison above applies to it too.
The models the six lines replaced are still here while stock lasts: the RF-SR, the Neotec II, the J-Cruise II and the last GT-Air IIs. The RJ Platinum-R is a classic open face with Shoei's GT visor.
Genuine Shoei shields in clear, tinted and mirrored. Shields are model-specific: match the shield to your helmet.
