Scores by category

AIM-fibre touring full-face with three shell sizes, QSV-2 internal sun visor, Pinlock in the box and a micro-ratchet strap. Ready for the integrated SRL3 intercom.

Why it stands out

The GT-Air is Shoei’s touring full-face line, and the third generation refines what already worked: an AIM fibre shell, a larger QSV-2 internal sun visor and a stainless steel micro-ratchet with a narrower strap.

Key figures

  • ECE 22.06 approved.
  • Three shell sizes, from XS to XXL.
  • Pinlock in the box and a centre-locking visor.
  • Ready for the Sena SRL3, an intercom that sits inside the helmet with nothing on the outside.

Our verdict

If you want a touring full-face with a sun visor and like the idea of an invisible intercom, it is among the best you can buy. If weight is your priority, look at the AGV K6 S or the Shoei NXR2 (no sun visor).

In short

The good and the not so good

  • Pinlock in the box

Arai's first ECE 22.06 helmet: a hand-made shell, great ventilation and Arai's philosophy of a shell that glances off rather than grips.
