Bonus Dark Tint Visor with selected Shoei helmets in November!

Free Dark Tint Visor with select Shoei helmets in November!


If you’re looking for a new lid, now’s the right time to check out the Shoei range, with X-Spirit III, NXR2, NXR, Glamster, Ex-Zero and J.O helmets receiving a bonus dark tint visor during November, while stocks last!

The dark tint visors are valued up to $119 and help increase visibility on those bright summer days that were just made for riding. Not only do they protect against 99% of the sun’s UV rays, the dark tint means you’re not having to ride with sunglasses, improving your field of vision.

A tinted visor can help reduce eye fatigue too – allowing you to concentrate for longer – while also helping reduce the heat in your helmet by blocking sun from directly hitting your face.

The offer is available at participating dealers during November 2021 only, while stocks last. Only available on items currently in stock or in stock with the national distributor. If you need to find your local Shoei dealer, check out the Shoei Australia dealer locator website.

Here’s a quick look at each of the helmets that currently benefit from this deal:


Shoei X-Spirit III

Shoei’s X-Spirit III is track certified by Marc Marquez – the fastest road racer on the planet. The X-Spirit III is a proven race weapon for those who aren’t willing to sacrifice a single detail when it comes to high-end performance.

Like the handcrafted race bikes that dominate MotoGP’s premiere racing circuits, every detail of the X-Spirit III was carefully designed, tested and fine-tuned until this final, uncompromised helmet was born.

Motorex produce oils specifically for BMW Boxer engines

Product Advertorial

Motorex Boxer 4T


Motorex Boxer 4T is a high-tech, synthetic-performance engine oil develop for maximum performance in both air/oil and water-cooled Boxer engines, tested and proven by BMW tuning experts at AC Schnizer.

Motorex joined forces with AC Schnitzer to develop the best performing engine oil for BMW’s Boxer engine. Boxer 4T is the result of AC Schnitzer’s world-renowned engine tuning experience coming together with Motorex’s extensive experience in manufacturing high-performance lubricants.

Motorex Boxer 4T Engine Oil 5W40

A very important feature to this oil is the low evaporation behaviour. Air cooled Boxer engines typically run at very high operating temperatures which can lead to excessive oil consumption in some cases.

Boxer 4T has an extremely low NOACK value compared to the JASO industry standard (JASO allows NOACK of 20, Boxer 4T is well below 10) which leads to significantly lower oil consumption.

15W50 vs 5W40: Air vs Water-Cooled

Motorex Boxer 4T 15W50 and 5W40 provide an extremely stable lubrication film that lowers friction in the engine significantly, whilst assuring consistently high oil pressure under all operating conditions. JASO MA2 approval guarantees the fault-free functioning of wet multi-disc clutches.

Boxer 5W40 is specially developed for water-cooled boxer engines (i.e BMW’s R1250 GS Adventure). Where Boxer 15W50 has been developed for and recommended in all air/oil cooled boxer engines with separate engine & gearbox lubrication (i.e BMW’s nineT Scrambler, BMW R18).

The NXR2 is the latest in Shoei’s long standing RF/NXR Series helmets, combining more than 60-years of helmet design experience with the latest manufacturing technology. This versatile Sports Performance helmet can be used for all riding conditions, from road touring and commuting to the racetrack.

The NXR2 is a step up from the original NXR, sporting improvements in ventilation, comfort and hold as well as refined aerodynamics to produce a significant reduction in drag and lift, reducing the strain on a rider’s neck.

Shoei has developed vortex generators on the side of the visor to reduce wind turbulence and noise, while new, more voluminous cheek pads further restrain wind noise within the helmet, without blocking informative road sounds.

Each NXR2 features the new CWR-F2 visor system which provides riders with protection from 99% of UV rays and is 10% larger for improved lateral vision. The visor has a conveniently located centre closure and locking mechanism and new first position shield opening feature for advanced venting and defogging.

While the NXR2 does sport new features, staples of the Shoei range are included, such as the Emergency Quick Release System to help first responders safely remove your helmet with minimal load on a rider’s neck. The NXR2 has also been designed and tested in Shoei’s state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility to ensure optimum aerodynamic and ventilation performance.

Riders are kept cool with six air intakes and four exhaust outlets, with the large three position lower vent shutter designed for ease of use with riding gloves. The strategically shaped air-intake streamlines the profile of the helmet design, with a compact integrated spoiler helps reduce the forces placed on a rider’s head.

The new NXR2 is also one of the first helmet models to be certified to the latest European Standard ECE 22.06 update.
