SHOEI X-FOURTEEN HELMET
PRODUCT REVIEW
P100
Hot and humid
Malaysian conditions
and I've still got no
complaints.
More vents equal
more cooling!
There are not
many helmets
out there with as
many vents as an
X-Fourteen.
and humid, and the X-Fourteen flowed plenty of
air (even if it wasn't cool air), enough at least to
keep me from boiling over. In this way it's very
similar to my AGV Corsa, a helmet that flows a
substantial amount of air.
It's not the quietest of helmets, but then it's
a race helmet designed to let you hear every
nuance and sound the engine makes. If noise is
a concern and you want a Shoei helmet, go for
the GT-Air model.
The X-Fourteen is an excellent helmet, but
considering this is Shoei, one of the oldest and
most respected brands out there, that's not
really surprising. I can best sum up the X-Four-
teen by saying that once I put it on in Malaysia,
after two laps I forgot about the helmet and just
rode the bike—which is more than I can say for
many other helmets I've tried. CN
