SHOEI helmet Qwest Bloodflow
QWEST - TOURING IN A NEW
DIMENSION
Normally, even an experienced touring biker looks forward to the
end of his journey when he can take off his helmet. Normally?Normality has never
been SHOEI s philosophy. The introduction of a new SHOEI helmet on the market
always implies: a few more innovations in the world. With the QWEST, SHOEI brings
a new generation of touring helmets onto the market. This premium full-face helmet
is the logical development of a successful touring helmet tradition taking the needs
of touring in all aspect into consideration: light weight, comfortable fit and a
minimal noise level. Shoei s acoustic engineers have surpassed themselves,
an amazing 2.2 decibels less than the previous model. In other words: it is actually
60% more silent! SHOEI built a completely new, state of the art wind tunnel in order
to realize an optimal shell shape and to develop innovative contours in many hours
of testing. The complicated lines offer optimal aerodynamics which makes the QWEST
stable in steady and the air flow and allow a reduction of the noise level caused
by wind to a surprising minimum.
Whereas the RAID series had only three, SHOEI has treated the QWEST
to four shell sizes to make seven helmet sizes from XXS to XXL possible. The result:
an optimal fit for every head size. The helmet sits evenly and without any pressure
points but nevertheless comfortably on the head. The QWEST s low weight of
1400 gr and the spoiler integrated into the shell eases the strain on the riders
neck and ensures long lasting fitness. The inventor of the ventilated motorcycle
helmet has been searching for a perfect ventilation system since more than 20 years.
They have reached the next level with the QWEST by repositioning the top and lower
air intakes and making them bigger. Both rear ventilation holes are also new: the
warm used air is not just let out but sucked out by low pressure. Of course one
thing must not be forgotten: the world outside the helmet. SHOEI has developed the
CW-1 visor technology with the Q.R.S.A system for automatic sealing and guaranteed
easy handling. An extra wide field of sight: a plus in safety and specially panorama
friendly for touring bikers.
