For many years a force to be reckoned with in the world of motorcycle helmet manufacturing, Shoei spares no expense when it comes to time, attention, and development of motocross helmets. Shoei Helmets is known for creating best-in-class race helmets and street helmets. Now the 2011 Shoei motocross helmets have upped the ante for every other manufacturer in the business.

Shoei's dualsport offering, the Hornet DS, changed the game in the enduro world and the Shoei dirt bike helmet is no different for the motocross world. The Shoei VFX-W helmet is the newest of the 2011 Shoei MX helmets and packs in the same great features that have made the RF1100 and X12 the staples in their respective riding styles.
