DescriptionThe whole story▼
Please note: sale to France is prohibited.
When tenths of a second count on track, a helmet that moves even slightly on your head is a distraction you cannot afford. The Shoei Cheek Pad Tuning Inserts Hard (XPRO) Type-P let you dial in a tighter, more stable fit in the cheek area of your X-SPR Pro without swapping to a different pad size — a precise, low-effort solution used by riders who demand the same repeatability from their helmet as from the rest of their equipment.
Key Features
- Firm foam laminate construction increases lateral contact pressure for a more planted, rattle-free fit — exactly what trackday and racing use demands.
- Approximately 2 mm thin, so the adjustment is incremental and targeted rather than a dramatic change in interior volume.
- Self-adhesive backing bonds directly to the rear face of the existing cheek pad — no tools, no permanent modification.
- Supplied as a matched left/right pair so both sides are adjusted consistently in a single installation.
- Residue-free removal means you can reverse the change cleanly if your fit requirements change between seasons.
- Designed specifically for Type-P (XPRO) cheek pads used in the Shoei X-SPR Pro — guaranteed OEM compatibility.
Performance on Track and Road
The X-SPR Pro is Shoei's flagship race-homologated lid, and its cheek pad geometry is engineered for a performance-oriented oval fit. Riders with slightly narrower facial profiles, or those who have experienced minor cheek pad break-in, often find the helmet loosens in the lower face area over time. The Type-P Hard inserts restore that snug lateral contact without the cost or inconvenience of sourcing a thicker replacement pad. On circuit — where head buffeting, braking forces and the general intensity of riding can amplify any perceived looseness — the firmer interface these inserts create translates directly into greater confidence and focus.
Fitment Instructions
Apply one insert per side only. Exceeding this limit places undue stress on the cheek pad attachment system and is not recommended by Shoei. The self-adhesive laminate adheres to the inner (rearward-facing) surface of the cheek pad, making installation straightforward and positioning intuitive. When the inserts are in place, refit the cheek pads as normal and assess the fit before riding.
