Safety Concept

SHOEI has 2 concepts of safety, namely, "Passive Safety" and "Active Safety." While "Passive Safety" is to protect head of rider in an accident, "Active Safety" is to prevent an accident by comfort which makes it possible for rider to concentrate on riding. SHOEI realizes "Safety" from these 2 aspects.
In order to realize "Passive Safety" SHOEI has test equipments in both Ibaraki and Iwate Factories corresponding to various standards of the world. Impact absorption test and other tests are repeated from the stage of development of products to guarantee proper performances. Over 3,000 helmets are exposed to tests and broken every year to support SHOEI's quality.
There are various safety standards such as one requiring high rigidity of shell and the other requiring low initial impact energy. SHOEI has test equipments corresponding to all standards of the world to realize impact absorption performance in the top level of the world.

"Active Safety" is realized by comfort of helmet providing environment for concentration on riding. Having in-house wind tunnel experiment facility, SHOEI measures ventilation performance and aerodynamics to realize comfort from development stage. In addition to data obtained from the experiments, various know-how accumulated from feedback from contract riders are used every day for development of products.
