This product is a motorcycle helmet.
Do not use it for any purposes other than riding a
motorcycle. If you use the helmet for any other
purpose, it may not provide sufficient protection in
case of an accident.
No helmet can protect the wearer against
all foreseeable high speed and low speed
impacts.
For maximum head protection, the helmet must fit
properly and the retention system must be
securely fastened under the chin. The helmet
should allow sufficient peripheral vision when
secure on your head. If your helmet is too large, it
may slip or move on your head while riding. This
could cause your helmet to come off in an
accident or obstruct your vision while riding
resulting in personal injury or death. To learn to
properly wear and secure your helmet, see the
booklet “How to Use Your Helmet Properly” that is
packed with your helmet.
The contents of this manual are subject to change
without notice.

Important Notice about
Handling Interior Parts
1. When fastening or unfastening the snaps, you
should hold near the snaps and treat carefully.
Fasten the snaps firmly until they click in place.
2. You can clean the interior parts by hand washing
them or by washing them in a washing machine
after placing them in a laundry net. Please treat
them carefully when washing. Use lukewarm
water. Gently squeeze the parts with a dry towel
and dry them in the shade. To prevent damage to
the plastic areas of the interior parts, do not wring
them strongly and do not fold or bend the plastic
areas. Take special care if you are using a
washing machine. Do not dry the interipr parts
with aclothes dryer, blow dryer, or any other type
of mechanical dryer, as heat can damage the
material. The impact absorbing liner (polystyrene
foam section) should be wet with a soft cloth
dipped in a solution of mild neutral soap and
water and then wiped. Allow time for the impact
absorbing liner to dry in the shade. Do not dry the
impact absorbing liner in the sunlight or use any
tupe of mechanical dryer, as the impact
absorbing liner is extremely sensitive to heat. If
the impact absorbing liner is exposed to high
heat of any kind, contract your dealer or SHOEI
directly for a safety evaluation. To prevent
damage, do not use any of the following
cleaning materials: hot water over 40℃; salt
water, any acidic or alkali detergent; benzine,
thinner, gasoline, or other organic solvents;
glass cleaner; or any other cleaner containing
organic solvents.
English
Do not pass the
chinstrap
between the
plate (A) and (B)
as per Drawing.
English
English
After the plates are inserted, pass the chinstrap
through the hollow section of the cheek pad
(Drawing 13).

Impact absorbing liner for VFX-WR/EVO
introduces „M.E.D.S.“ which is the structure to
reduce rotational acceleration energy.
M.E.D.S. is dual layered as per Drawing. The
inner liner has 4 columns, and there is a gap
between the inner liner and the outer liner
anchored by the center column. The inner
liner swings supported by the center column
and the other columns are crushed during a
impact as it reduces rotational acceleration
energy.
WARNING
*Do not hang a helmet from a mirror and a
handle of a motorcycle. Especially do not
do it for the helmet which has M.E.D.S.
The edge of the inner liner is structually
thin and if it is pressed strongly, it may
be cracked. Also do not press the inner
liner by intent.
*Do not put small objects like a key and a
coin inside the helmet. They may be
stucked or dropped into a gap between
the inner liner and the outer liner.
*Do not insert anything
between the inner liner
and the outer liner, nor
do not tear the inner
liner from the outer
liner. These can reduce
the ability to absorb
impacts.

1. Make sure to hold the helmet firmly by
your hand when pulling out cheek pads.
2. Use genuine SHOEI cheek pads only and
never use non-SHOEI parts.

English
E.Q.R.S.(Emergency Quick Release System) is a mechanism for
emergency personnel to remove the cheek pads.
To remove a cheek pad in an emergency, cut or undo a chinstrap
first. While holding the helmet firmly so that the rider’s head may
not move, take emergency strip (Drawing 1) and pull it to a
direction indicated in the Drawing 2.
Pulling the emergency strip will release snaps and allow a cheek
pad to be pulled out through the bottom of the helmet while it is still
on the rider’s head. Repeat the same procedure to remove the
other side.
Be sure to hold the helmet firmly and pay full attention not to move
the rider’s head while removing the cheek pads.
