Shoei Rear Head Pad M9 Type-P for X-SPR Pro Helmet

When you spend hours in the saddle — or pushing hard through a track day — the fit of every interior component matters. The Shoei Rear Head Pad M9 (Type-P) for the X-SPR Pro delivers the snuggest rear fit in the M-series range, keeping the helmet planted precisely at the back of the head no matter how aggressively you ride. If all-day comfort through a secure, locked-in feel is your priority, this is the module to fit.

Key Features

• Tightest rear fit in the M-series — the M9 is thicker than the M5 alternative, providing a firm, sport-focused hold in the occipital region that eliminates unwanted helmet movement under hard braking and rapid direction changes.
• Refined comfort over long sessions — the structured foam conforms to the back of the head, spreading contact pressure evenly so fatigue is reduced on extended rides or multi-session track days.
• Tool-free velcro installation — the module attaches and detaches via the X-SPR Pro's internal velcro system in a matter of minutes, requiring no tools and no disassembly.
• Compatible with Shoei tuning pad sets — if the base fit still needs a little fine-tuning, pads from the separate Full Set Hard or Full Set Soft kits can be added for precise, localised adjustment.
• Size reference printed on reverse — the module size is marked on the back of the pad, and can also be cross-referenced against your helmet size for a confident fit choice.

Fit, Comfort and Performance

The M9 designation puts this pad at the fuller end of Shoei's rear pad spectrum. Where the M5 suits riders who prefer a slightly looser rear fit or wear thicker balaclava liners, the M9 is engineered for those who want the helmet to feel like an extension of the head rather than something sitting on it. On circuit this translates directly into confidence — you stop compensating for micro-movements and concentrate entirely on the ride.

The shape-stable foam maintains its structure through heat and extended use, so the fit you experience on day one remains consistent through the season. The textile facing is in keeping with Shoei's interior quality standards: smooth against the skin and straightforward to keep clean according to the Shoei care guidelines supplied with the original helmet.

Customisation with Tuning Pad Sets

Even the tightest standard pad cannot account for every head shape. Shoei's optional Full Set Hard and Full Set Soft tuning pads are designed to work alongside the M9 module, allowing spot-specific pressure or shape corrections without replacing the base pad entirely. These sets are available separately and clip directly to the module's velcro surface, giving you genuinely granular control over the interior fit of your X-SPR Pro.
