Shoei Rear Head Pad L9 (XPRO) Type-P for X-SPR Pro

A secure, snug fit at the back of your helmet is not just a matter of comfort — it is a critical safety factor at any speed. The Shoei Rear Head Pad L9 Type-P is the original replacement and upgrade padding module for the X-SPR Pro, engineered to deliver a tighter, more stable fit in the rear helmet segment and neck area, exactly where it counts most during hard track sessions or high-speed road riding.

Key Features

• Thicker L9 module provides a noticeably firmer rear fit compared to the standard L5 module, reducing unwanted movement inside the helmet shell
• Designed to enhance helmet stability at speed, contributing directly to rider safety and head control under braking and cornering forces
• Type-P geometry targets the neck and rear crown area for a tailored, sporting fit suited to aggressive riding positions
• Tool-free Velcro mounting system allows the pad to be swapped or repositioned in minutes without removing trim or interior components
• Compatible with optional tuning pad sets — Full Set Hard or Full Set Soft (sold separately) — for further fine-tuning to individual head shapes
• Genuine Shoei OEM part, manufactured to the same standards as the original X-SPR Pro interior

Safety, Fit and Performance

Helmet safety depends not only on shell and liner construction but on the integrity of the interior fit. A pad that allows the helmet to shift under impact reduces the effectiveness of the EPS liner by altering the contact geometry at the critical moment. The L9 module addresses this by filling the rear cavity more completely than the slimmer L5, keeping the shell centred on the head and minimising rotational play. For track riders and those who cover long, fast stretches on open roads, this additional rear stability translates into more consistent head positioning and a helmet that stays precisely where it was fitted.

Fine-Tuning with Tuning Pad Sets

If the L9 module alone still leaves a slight gap or hotspot, Shoei's optional Full Set Hard and Full Set Soft tuning pads can be added to refine the fit further. These pads are placed within the existing interior to selectively build out specific zones, giving a genuinely custom result without any permanent modification to the helmet. Note that the exact module size is printed on the reverse of each pad; it can also be determined by cross-referencing your X-SPR Pro helmet size.
