GT-Air II BONAFIDE – Features

Aerodynamic Shell

The SHOEI GT-Air II BONAFIDE helmet features aerodynamic properties. It’s an enhanced feature created from extensive wind-tunnel testing. It comes with a multi-piece EPS liner that enhances ventilation and impact absorption.

SHOEI integrated a molded air spoiler to the GT-Air II BONAFIDE to decrease drag, lift, and dimensional pressure. It helps keep the rider’s neck comfortable and strain-free while driving.

Helmet Ventilation

The GT-Air II BONAFIDE’s remade upper air intake vent is positioned adequately for proper ventilation. It helps maximize the flow of air into the helmet’s interior.

For the extended lower intake vent, it helps decrease shield fogging while further boosting ventilation. Both the lower and upper intake vents are easy to shift even when accessing them with gloved hands.

When it comes to its neck/rear vents, it allows for improved air exhaust. Hence, the presence of three intakes and six exhaust vents.

Design, Build, and Parts of the SHOEI GT-Air II BONAFIDE

Sun Shield Visor System and AIM Shell

This SHOEI GT-Air II BONAFIDE helmet sports a built-in QSV 2 sun shield, providing riders immediate relief from sun glare.

The GT-Air II BONAFIDE can activate an injection-molded central sun shield via large and easy-to-reach slider. What’s great about this system is that it’s distortion-free shield that can block 99% of harmful UV rays.

Also, the forehead portion of its outer shell is a bit elevated to accommodate the inner sun shield adequately.

Lastly, it features the AIM or Advanced Integrated Matrix. It’s a high-performance fiber material mixed with elastic organic fiber. AIM helps establish shell-like structures that are lightweight, flexible, and solid.

SHOEI GT-Air II BONAFIDE Interior

The helmet’s interior consists of 3D max dry center pads. It also has multi-layers of polyurethane foam for the cheek pads.

SHOEI included cheek curtains to avoid wind entry while working to decrease noise.

Note that the cheek pads are replaceable for maintenance, and you can wear glasses even with the helmet on. For increased safety, the GT-Air II BONAFIDE comes with the E.Q.R.S. or Emergency Quick-Release System. It allows medical personnel to quickly remove the pads from the GT-Air II in the case of an accident.

There’s a micro ratchet chin strap present that features a stainless steel interlocking system.

Plus, this GT-Air II BONAFIDE Helmet utilizes a CNS-1 3D shield system that’s curved, wider, and higher than the CX-1V. It sports a PINLOCK anti-fogging lens, has scratch-resistant shield coating, and protects you from harmful UV rays.

There’s a dual-ridge window bead present, and it functions to boost contact with the shield, decreasing wind noise.
