Shoei X-SPR PRO Helmet Valion TC-1 Red / Grey

Built for MotoGP speeds beyond 350 km/h, the Shoei X-SPR PRO in the Valion TC-1 colourway is the helmet that separates genuine racing machinery from everything else on the grid. The red, grey and white Valion livery is no cosmetic afterthought — it frames a shell that went through more than 150 aerodynamic development cycles in the wind tunnel, emerging as Shoei's most track-focussed full-face helmet to date.

Key Features

• AIM+ (Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus) shell combining glass fibres, organic fibres and high-performance fibre materials for extreme impact resistance at a very low overall weight
• Dual homologation to ECE 22.06 and FIM FRHPhe-01 — fully legal for circuit competition and road use
• 13-vent ventilation system (7 inlets / 6 outlets) engineered around the aggressively tucked racing position, with cheek-pad airflow delivering close to double the volume of the previous generation
• CWR-F2R visor with an extended vertical field of view (+5 mm), tear-off compatibility, dual safety lock and Pinlock EVO anti-fog insert included as standard
• EQRS (Emergency Quick Release System) allows first responders to remove cheek pads rapidly without disturbing the rider
• Drinking-system ready, compatible with the Shoei hydration tube and the CAMELBAK Big Bite valve — essential for endurance races in high temperatures

AIM+ Shell — Precision-Engineered for the Track

The AIM+ construction is unique to Shoei's top-tier race products. By weaving glass fibres, organic fibres and high-performance fibre materials into a single integrated matrix, the shell achieves a level of energy absorption and structural rigidity that outperforms conventional composite construction. Four shell sizes ensure the geometry is never compromised by padding alone, delivering a genuinely precise fit across the XS-to-XXL size run.

The multi-density EPS liner works in concert with the shell to manage impact energy, while the double-D retention system satisfies both ECE 22.06 road regulations and FIM FRHPhe-01 circuit homologation requirements. For anyone racing under FIM or national series regulations, that dual certification matters.

Aerodynamics — Over 150 Wind-Tunnel Refinements

Shoei reshaped every surface of the X-SPR PRO to chase stability at triple-digit speeds. A new rear-head stabiliser, lateral fins for directional stability and a refined spoiler work together to pin the helmet to your head without loading the neck muscles. The result is exceptional composure at 350 km/h-plus, reduced fatigue during long stints and maximum control in every cornering scenario.

Ventilation — Engineered for the Racing Tuck

Most helmets are designed for an upright riding position. The X-SPR PRO's 13-opening ventilation architecture is calibrated specifically for the deeply tucked race crouch. Seven precisely aligned inlets channel air through a deeply branched internal duct network, while six exhaust ports expel warm air efficiently. The redesigned cheek-pad ventilation delivers close to double the airflow of the outgoing model — critical for concentration in summer heat races and endurance events.

Comfort at Race Pace

The X-SPR PRO's interior is designed around the ergonomics of a MotoGP rider in full lean. A modular crown pad with pockets for individual inserts lets you dial in the crown height, while the 3D-shaped cheek pads offer 16 % more contact area for a secure, even hold. An adjustable seating angle extends the vertical field of view from the riding position. All interior materials are quick-drying and skin-friendly, and the complete liner is removable and machine-washable.

CWR-F2R Visor — Clarity at Every Lean Angle

The CWR-F2R visor was developed hand-in-hand with the helmet's geometry. The enlarged vertical field of view means you retain full visual awareness even at extreme lean angles and with your chin on the tank. The dual safety lock prevents inadvertent opening at speed, tear-off posts are positioned outside the main sight line to keep the view unobstructed, and the included Pinlock EVO insert eliminates fogging in cool morning sessions or changing conditions.

Fitment & Compatibility

The Shoei X-SPR PRO is a universal fitting helmet suitable for road and circuit use. It is not specific to a particular motorcycle make or model. Select your size using the circumference table below.

Size Guide

Racing helmets should fit snugly and evenly without pressure points. When in doubt between two sizes, try both before deciding.
