DescriptionThe whole story▼

Please note: sale to France is prohibited.

Wayne Gardner's design in the TC-2 colourway puts a white centre on the forehead intake, flanked by navy sides with thin gold and red pinstripes. Shoei part 18.08.575.0 for the X-SPR PRO.

In the box

Contents: the upper intake cover as pictured, in Gardner TC-2. Screws or inner parts are not visible in Shoei's photo; if your old fixings are damaged, ask us before ordering and we will check what Shoei supplies.

How the helmet breathes here

Sitting directly above the visor, this cover catches the air that flows over the front of the helmet. A central slider lets you choose between full flow and closed, which matters on a cold morning as much as on a hot track day. Behind it, the air is routed into the helmet and exits at the back.

Which helmet it fits

Compatible helmet: Shoei X-SPR PRO. The newer X-SPR PRO 02 with FIM 2 approval has some vent parts of its own, and Shoei lists this number under the XPRO code only, so we cannot confirm a fit on the 02. If you own the 02, send us the details from your helmet label before ordering.

Who should fit it

Check the manual of your X-SPR PRO for notes on care and parts. Where it does not cover this replacement, ask a specialist dealer rather than experimenting. Never modify the shell to make a part fit.

Why riders order this part

Slider stuck, tab snapped, a crack running out from a fixing point: plastic parts age with sun, cold and countless movements. When the upper air intake no longer works cleanly, or a piece is missing, a replacement restores both function and looks.

Order the right shade

Screen colours vary, and so do helmets that have spent years in the sun: an older shell may have faded slightly compared with a new part. That is normal and not a defect. The new upper air intake comes in Gardner TC-2, exactly as Shoei lists it.
