FAQs

What safety certifications does the Shoei NXR 2 helmet have?

The Shoei NXR 2 helmet is ECE 22/06 certified and ACU Gold Certified, meeting rigorous safety standards for impact absorption, structural integrity, and rider protection.

How do I clean the helmet's interior pads?

The 3D-centerpad, cheek pads, and chin strap cover are detachable. Hand wash them gently with mild soap and cold water, rinse, and allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.

Is the Pinlock insert included with the helmet?

Yes, the helmet comes with the DKS 304 PINLOCK EVO lens, designed to be installed on the inside of the CWR-F2 visor to prevent fogging.

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 remove the helmet from a rider's head in the event of an accident without causing further injury.

How does the ventilation system work?

The helmet features multiple air inlets at the chin and forehead that channel cooling air through the helmet, which then exits through rear exhaust vents, creating a consistent airflow to keep the rider cool and reduce fatigue.

Can I replace the visor?

Yes, the helmet uses the CWR-F2 visor system. Replacement visors and compatible Pinlock inserts are available, ensuring you can maintain clear visibility.

What does 'AIM Shell construction' mean?

AIM stands for Advanced Integrated Matrix. It refers to Shoei's proprietary composite layering of fiberglass and organic fibers, engineered to absorb and distribute impact energy effectively while keeping the helmet lightweight.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct shell size. If minor adjustments are needed, consider aftermarket thicker or thinner cheek pads or headliners, available from Shoei dealers.

Visor fogs up excessively.

Ensure the Pinlock EVO lens is correctly installed on the inside of the CWR-F2 visor. Clean both the visor and the Pinlock insert regularly according to care instructions. Ensure the visor is fully closed.

Ventilation seems inadequate.

Check that all vent openings (chin, forehead, rear exhaust) are clear of debris or obstructions. Ensure the interior padding is not blocking airflow.

Chin strap is uncomfortable.

Adjust the strap length using the Double D-ring system. The detachable chin strap cover can also be repositioned or cleaned for comfort.

  3. The visor is pre-installed and compatible with the included Pinlock EVO lens. Ensure the lens is correctly fitted to the inside of the visor for optimal anti-fog performance.

Compatibility:

  • The helmet is designed to accommodate various head shapes, with 4 independent shell sizes available to ensure a proper fit.
  • The CWR-F2 visor system is specifically designed for this helmet model. Replacement visors and Pinlock inserts should be model-specific.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Interior: The 3D-centerpad, cheek pads, and chin strap cover are detachable and washable. Hand wash them gently with mild soap and cold water, then rinse thoroughly. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
  • Shell: Clean the exterior shell with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish.
  • Visor: Clean the visor with a soft cloth and mild soap. Use a dedicated visor cleaner or a damp cloth for the Pinlock insert. Never use harsh chemicals on either.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, preferably in the provided helmet bag, to protect it from dust and scratches.
