Shoei Helmet NXR-2 Mural TC-10

Compact, lightweight form that is sportier than ever

Just like its predecessors, the Z-8 / NXR2 offers a compact form with distinctive cutlines on the side of the shell. The sporty shell design offers high rigidity, with excellent safety characteristics despite its compact size.

The Z-8 / NXR2 shell is available in four sizes (S, M, L, and XL), allowing you to find the right fit that perfectly balances compactness with comfort.

Shield/Visor System

For the Z-8 / NXR2, we adopted the newly developed CWR-F2 shield/visor featuring a quadric surface shape for an intimidating design worthy of a sport riding helmet. By optimizing the curvature and thickness of the shield/visor at specific positions in order to improve the optical characteristics and minimize distortion, we have achieved an impressively clear field of view.

We chose a one-step, easy to use center lock system for the locking mechanism that keeps the shield/visor from opening unintentionally. When closing the shield/visor, simply latch the hooked tab onto the shield/visor lock button to lock the shield/visor in place. To release the lock, just press the shield/visor lock button.

Quiet Design

The vortex generators on the newly designed CWR-F2 shield/visor reduce wind noise by dampening the disruption of airflow along the side of the shield/visor, near the rider's ears. In addition, the Z-8 / NXR2 is constructed to prevent wind from entering through the bottom of the helmet, thanks both to the large, soft cheek pads located near the Z-8 / NXR2's unique cutlines on the side of the shell, as well as to the impact absorbing liner that cradles the rider's neck.

Ventilation System

For riders who are looking for a comfortable helmet, ventilation performance is one of the most important factors to consider. Thanks to a newly added air intake hole, the Z-8 / NXR2 boasts improved airflow through the helmet when compared with earlier models. As a result of extensive testing designed to optimize airflow when the rider is in a sport riding posture, the Z-8 / NXR2 features a two-hole air scoop shape with additional upper air intakes on the left and right sides of the helmet. Incoming air is guided into the interior of the helmet via channels through the impact absorbing liner, and warm air is effectively expelled through the top air outlets with even greater efficiency than in earlier models. The end result is a ventilation system that balances the inflow and outflow of air through the helmet.

Interior

The Z-8 / NXR2 employs a hybrid combination of materials in its interior: a proven, highly moisture-absorbent and quick-drying material for those areas where sweat accumulates easily, and a soft, raised fabric for those areas that may rub against the rider's skin when putting on or taking off the helmet.

In addition to making the helmet easier to put on and take off, the newly designed cheek pads provide a voluminous and soft feel that conforms comfortably with the contours of the rider's neck, while also preventing noise from entering the helmet.

E.Q.R.S.

System for removing helmet in an emergency in the event of an accident

The E.Q.R.S. (Emergency Quick Release System) allows the helmet to be easily removed by someone else, in the event that the rider is in an accident and requires rapid emergency assistance. The E.Q.R.S. features a special ribbon on the cheek pads that hold the rider's cheeks, which can be pulled during an emergency to remove the cheek pads from the helmet. This allows the helmet to be easily removed from the head of the rider who needs emergency assistance.

*Please do not use the E.Q.R.S. when removing cheek pads for maintenance.
