X-Eleven Vermeulen 3 Intro

If preseason testing is any indication, Rizla Suzuki rider Chris Vermeulen is poised to make a serious bid for his first Moto GP title in 2007! Shoei is pleased to introduce our latest X-Eleven replica graphic, the Vermeulen 3. The X-Eleven sits at the very pinnacle of Shoei’s exciting 2007 lineup. The race inspired X-Eleven was designed to meet the demands of the most serious riders. Its wind tunnel tested ventilation and aerodynamics are unparalleled. When you combine all of this technology with Shoei’s famous comfort and quality, there really is no other choice for those seeking the most high performance helmet on the market today.

I am so excited my replica helmet is about to be released in the United States, says Chris. American fans have been so good to me over the last couple of years and I always look forward to racing here.

Shoei worked closely with me to design a helmet I am proud of. It was originally designed with my love of hot rods in mind. The pin stripes, flames and now the ace give it a real retro feel. The star configuration is called the Southern Cross and was taken from the Australian flag.

Hopefully, when I get to Laguna Seca this year I'll be out in front again and this time standing on top of the podium with my Shoei helmet!"

The X-Eleven Vermeulen 3 is available now in TC-2 and TC-3 color combinations at an authorized Shoei dealer near you!
