The Shoei Syncrotec Helmet

Offers the protection and quietness of a full-face helmet, and the convenience of an open face. Now it takes just one hand to flip open the entire chin-bar and face shield with its single centrally located latch. It also has the standard, no-tools CK-1 face shield. The shield has excellent optical clarity and Shoei claims that it provides almost 100% protection from UVA & B rays. Having pockets around the ears mean an easy fit for a sound system without having to cut into the protection. This DOT approved helmet has a shell constructed of fiber composite.

With the helmet in the closed position, the face shield lifts completely out of your eye view as you can see in the photo.  The Syncrotec is Shoei’s second-generation flip-front helmet. The flip up convenience permits you to easily communicate with someone else nearby. Shoei claims this helmet has many hours of wind tunnel testing to eliminate wind noise and drag. There are both upper and lower ventilation ports that help in keeping your head comfortable and it only weighs a light 3.6 lbs. This is an extremely comfortable helmet.
