Shoei GT Air 3 Realm TC10 Full Face Helmet

Shoei GT Air 3 Full Face Helmet GT04 TC10

SHOEI's premium touring full face with inner sun visor, the GT-AIR series has been supported by many riders for its convenience, aggressive and sophisticated styling, and smart styling that supports an exclusively designed communication system. While inheriting the design that symbolizes the series, the functional and performance aspects have been brushed up, and a new GT-AIR 3 has been born that conforms to ECE R22/06 standard.

In pursuit of improved performance, which is particularly important as a touring full face, such as ventilation performance and quietness, and by downsizing the integrated communication system attachment mechanism as in the NEOTEC 3, the integration with the helmet design when the communication system is installed has been enhanced. GT-AIR 3, brushed up as a premium touring full face, creates comfortable riding.

Design

• Inheriting the design of the top of the head, which is a feature of the GT-AIR series and contributes to stability when driving, and enhances the sense of unity between the ventilation parts and the shell design. The design of the chin part with a tough impression is narrowed down from the predecessor to improve quietness, and the shell design is conscious of the compact appearance and the sportiness suitable for the touring model.

Ventilation:

• Upper Air Intake: In order to pursue further improvement in ventilation performance, SHOEI has repeatedly verified the design of the upper air intake in SHOEI's own large wind tunnel facility. The shape of the front edge and ribs of the base parts and shutter design makes the inflow of riding wind to a helmet more efficient. In addition, the newly designed ventilation makes it easy to distinguish between opening and closing the shutter, and also improves handling.
• Top Air Intake: The top air outlet is positioned forward compared with the predecessor, where is the highest flow velocity, and that increases the outflow. Combined with the upper air intake, the ventilation efficiency is improved.
• Lower Air Intake: The lower air intake is designed for easy handling even with winter gloves, which is common to the GT-AIR series. The air taken inside a helmet runs inside the shield, and it functions as a defroster to eliminate the fogging of the shield. In addition to the defroster function, a part of the air taken from the lower air intake is introduced to the mouth when the breath guard is attached. That makes breathless riding such as riding in hot weather more comfortable. A removable filter is equipped to a defroster which is to prevent insects from entering.

Shield

• Inheriting the design of the top of the head, which is a feature of the GT-AIR series and contributes to stability when driving, and enhances the sense of unity between the ventilation parts and the shell design. The design of the chin part with a tough impression is narrowed down from the predecessor to improve quietness, and the shell design is conscious of the compact appearance and the sportiness suitable for the touring model.

Sun Visor

• An inner sun visor that can instantly switch from smoke to clear field of view even when the riding environment changes suddenly, such as when entering a tunnel. The GT-AIR 3 is equipped with a QSV-2 sun visor with high optical characteristics with low distortion, which has a quality comparable to the European sunglasses standard EN1836. The sun visor handling mechanism using strong wires realizes smooth operation.

Interior

• The interior surface fabric is a hybrid of moisture-absorbing, quick-drying fabric and raised fabric. Moisture-absorbing quick-drying fabric is placed on areas that are prone to sweating, such as the forehead and cheeks, and raised fabric is placed on areas near bottom of the helmet that rubs against the skin when wearing and removing the helmet, achieving improved comfort and optimal wear comfort. The chin curtain is enlarged from the one for predecessor, preventing the intrusion of wind from the bottom part.

Chinstrap:

• The new micro ratchet chin strap introduced to NEOTEC 3 is also introduced to GT-AIR 3. Made of stainless steel, it has a safe design that can be released only at a certain opening degree or more, and it is a highly convenient S original structure that allows the rider to fasten and release the chin strap even while wearing winter gloves. The strap part is made of high-strength, high-elasticity, high-performance fibers, which ensure strength while allowing to be narrowed, enhancing the fit to the neck

EPS Liner

• The impact absorbing liner provides the most efficient overall impact absorbing performance by arranging the liner with the optimum density at each part.

AIM Shell

• Based on a multilayered structure of strong glass fiber and organic fiber, the AIM (Advanced Integrated Matrix) is a high-performance shell structure designed exclusively by SHOEI, light in weight yet rigid in elasticity. The GT-Air 3 offers a level of safety that easily meets the stringent standards of each country. SHOEI is uncompromising in their position to maintain a uniform level of safety with every one of their products, while pursuing rigidity and lighter weight

Integrated Communication System Attachment Mechanism (SHOEI COMLINK)

• As SHOEI COMLINK model, GT-AIR 3 is equipped with a exclusively designed communication system attachment mechanism the same as NEOTEC 3.By miniaturizing the attachment part, the integration with the helmet design when installing the exclusively designed communication system has been enhanced. Because the telecommunications system is exclusively designed for the helmet, it is easy to install without being confused by the wiring and looked smart when installed.
