DescriptionThe whole story▼
Please note: sale to France is prohibited.
A helmet that fits perfectly throughout a full day of riding inspires genuine confidence — and the Shoei Rear Head Pad S9 Type-P is precisely the component that delivers it in the X-SPR Pro. Thicker than the standard S5 module, it increases contact area at the back of the head and reduces unwanted movement, giving you a secure, all-day fit that feels tailored from the first kilometre to the last.
Key Features
- Fuller rear contact: the S9 module is thicker than the stock S5, increasing the contact area at the nape of the neck for a closer, more supported feel across long stints in the saddle.
- Reduced helmet movement: greater rear padding minimises helmet shift during dynamic riding, keeping your field of vision consistent and your focus on the road or track.
- Fine-tune your fit: combine the S9 with pads from the Full Set Hard or Full Set Soft (each sold separately) to dial in exactly the right amount of lateral support for your head shape.
- Tool-free velcro fitment: the module attaches to the existing velcro surfaces inside the X-SPR Pro shell — swap it in or out in seconds, ideal for adjusting your setup before a trackday.
- Genuine Shoei OEM quality: manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original padding, ensuring the helmet's safety and comfort performance is fully maintained.
Comfort and Performance on Road and Track
Helmet fit is not static. Padding compresses over time and individual head shapes vary enormously, which is why Shoei engineered the X-SPR Pro interior as a fully modular system. The S9 Type-P rear pad addresses one of the most common fit complaints — excess space or unwanted rocking in the rear helmet segment — by simply adding more structured foam where it matters most.
Whether you are covering a touring stage that stretches over several hours or pushing lap times at a circuit, a stable helmet reduces fatigue and keeps the liner functioning as intended. The S9's additional thickness maintains gentle, consistent pressure rather than point-loading, so comfort is preserved even when worn for extended periods.
Combining with Tuning Pads
For riders who need even greater lateral support alongside the improved rear hold, the S9 pairs directly with the optional Full Set Hard or Full Set Soft pad kits. The Hard option suits riders wanting a sportingly firm, race-oriented feel; the Soft option provides a slightly more forgiving contact for touring or endurance use. Both are available separately from Inter-Pace.
To identify which size you currently run, check the size marking printed on the reverse of your existing pad, or cross-reference the table in your X-SPR Pro owner's manual using your helmet size.
