Shoei delights us in these first bars of the year with its new limited and special edition X-Fifteen Gardner 2025. A high -flight sports helmet combined with the colors of legend that the Australian pilot wore in that year of 1987, when he managed to be crowned as champion of the Motorcycling World Cup on the back of his Honda NSR500 painted with the iconic Librea Rothmans.
A legendary compendium where the Red, Blue and white pearls of the Japanese firm meet, along with these last two of the British tobacco company profiled with the characteristic gold color. But not only of aesthetics lives man (literally in this case), so Shoei implements the last technological displays in their last limited editing helmet.
Shoei X-Fifteen Gardner 2025: “A championship helmet”
Compared to conventional models, the X-Fifteen reduces the support (the trend of the helmet afloat up) by 1.6 % and the resistance (the trend of the helmet to be pushed up from the front) in a 6 , 1 %.
The completely new aerodynamic design provides stable aerodynamic performance even at ultraralt speeds of more than 350 km/h. Undoubtedly, aerodynamics is a crucial appearance in any competition helmet, but comfort is also. The X-Fifteen Gardner has adequate ventilation thanks to the different pressure analysis tests to which it was subjected.
The new air input has a 1.5 times deeper route than that of its predecessor, which means that it is more effective to keep the head fresh while driving. In addition, a rear stabilizer tunnel with an outlet just below the wing extracts the hot air from the helmet, providing high speed stability at the same time.
Inside the helmet, Shoei has incorporated improved central divided pads for a customizable adjustment. The cheek space for optimal comfort at high speeds has also been expanded. Likewise, the X-Fifteen Gardner presents a CWR-F2R viewer with a full central block and an antivaho visor to guarantee a clear vision in all conditions.
The new X-Fifteen Gardner has MFJ specifications and FIM certificate, so it can be used on the track inside any championship. With an official price of 103,400 yen, about 650 eurosis available in sizes that range from XS to XXL. Likewise, the brand has announced that it will be on sale next April and will only admit orders until the end of September 2025.
