FAQs

What is the E.Q.R.S. system?

E.Q.R.S. stands for Emergency Quick Release System. It allows emergency medical personnel to safely and easily remove the helmet from a rider's head in the event of an accident, minimizing the risk of further injury.

How do I clean the helmet's interior?

The 3D-centerpad and cheek pads are removable and washable. Gently hand wash them with mild soap and cold water. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.

Is the Pinlock lens included with the helmet?

The helmet is designed to be compatible with the DKS 304 PINLOCK EVO lens. This lens is typically included or available as an accessory, depending on the specific package or retailer.

How do I determine the correct shell size?

Shoei helmets come in multiple shell sizes to ensure a proper fit. It's recommended to try the helmet on at a retailer or consult Shoei's sizing chart, which correlates head circumference with shell size, to find the best fit.

What safety certifications does the NXR 2 have?

The Shoei NXR 2 meets the latest ECE 22/06 standard and is also ACU Gold Certified, indicating it meets the highest standards for motorcycle racing and road use in the UK.

Can I install a Bluetooth communication system?

The helmet is designed with interior space for communication systems, though specific mounting points and compatibility vary by system manufacturer. Check with your communication system provider for integration details with the Shoei NXR 2.

What is the main advantage of the CWR-F2 visor?

The CWR-F2 visor offers an enhanced field of vision, a secure locking mechanism to prevent accidental opening, and improved compatibility with the Pinlock anti-fog system, with the Pinlock pins relocated away from the rider's direct line of sight.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or loose

The NXR 2 comes in 4 shell sizes and features detachable cheek pads. If the fit is incorrect, consider trying a different shell size or thicker/thinner cheek pads available from Shoei retailers to achieve a perfect fit.

Visor fogs up

Ensure the included DKS 304 PINLOCK EVO lens is correctly installed. If fogging persists, re-check the Pinlock installation and consider a anti-fog treatment spray for the exterior of the visor.

Wind noise is still noticeable

While the helmet is designed to reduce wind noise, some level is inherent to open-air riding. Ensure all components (visor, padding) are correctly fitted and secured. Riding position and motorcycle fairing design also influence wind noise.

Ventilation seems inadequate

Ensure all vent openings are clear of obstructions. Adjust the chin and forehead vents to their open positions. The effectiveness of ventilation can also be influenced by external temperature and riding speed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent safety performance with ECE 22/06 certification.
  • Lightweight yet robust AIM shell construction.
  • Superior comfort due to effective ventilation and premium interior padding.
  • Enhanced rider visibility and reduced fogging with the CWR-F2 visor and Pinlock system.
  • Reduced wind noise and fatigue on longer journeys.
  • Easy maintenance with removable and washable interior components.

Cons

  • Premium price point reflects advanced features and brand.
  • May require specific adapter for certain communication systems.
  • The focus on sport performance might make it slightly less plush than touring-focused helmets for some riders.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The helmet comes pre-equipped with the CWR-F2 visor and is ready for use. Ensure the Double D-ring chin strap is securely fastened for each ride. The helmet is compatible with the DKS 304 PINLOCK EVO lens for enhanced anti-fog performance, which can be installed by carefully following the lens manufacturer's instructions and fitting it into the designated pins on the visor.

Compatibility: The CWR-F2 shield system is designed to work with specific Pinlock EVO lenses. While not explicitly detailed, users may find aftermarket Bluetooth communication system integrations possible, though direct compatibility with specific brands should be verified.

Care:

  • Interior: The 3D-centerpad and cheek pads are detachable and washable. Hand wash gently with mild soap and cold water. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting to prevent odors and maintain hygiene.
  • Shell: Clean the exterior shell with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish.
  • Visor: Clean the visor with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Remove the visor for thorough cleaning if necessary, following Shoei's guidelines for visor removal and reattachment to ensure proper sealing.
