Shoei J-Cruise 2 helmet

The J-Cruise 2 helmet has now been replaced by the Shoei J-Cruise 3 helmet. The 2 was an upgrade on the first Shoei J-Cruise which has been part of the Shoei range for many a year. In concept the helmet is largely unchanged. It’s an open-face helmet, but it’s not the kind of helmet you’re going to wear on your café racer or custom bike. It’s a helmet designed for those who want the freedom of an open-face, but with some of the protections and comforts of a full-face helmet. Obviously, as there’s no chin piece, you have to accept that, in an accident situation, this is an open-face helmet, but with its full-length outer visor you are going to be more protected from the elements than you would be in an open face, and you’ll also be subjected to less wind noise. The new helmet, however, is a ground-up redesign that incorporates a totally new shell. That shell, of course, is still the strong and lightweight AIM-constructed shell that Shoei uses for all its high-end helmets. There is much improved venting, with three, separate adjustable vents on the brow. As with all Shoei helmets, the helmet features a multi-density eps. The cheekpads and headliner are removable, and exchangeable for different sizes to help achieve an improved fit. One major upgrade on the J-Cruise 2 is that it has been designed to take the Sena SRL2 comms. kit or the new SRL mesh - either will  integrate seamlessly into the helmet. As with the Shoei Neotec 3 helmet, the J-Cruise 2 has a drop down internal dark visor. 

Other Shoei helmets available are the Shoei Neotec 3, Shoei GT Air 3 , Shoei NXR 2, Shoei Ex-Zero, Shoei JO and Shoei Glamster.
