Shoei X-12 Daijiro Kato Memorial Helmet

[RidersDiscount]

April 6th, 2013 marked the tenth anniversary of the crash that led to the death of Japanese MotoGP rider Daijiro Kato, and Shoei released a memorial graphic for the X-12 this past  spring to commemorate the occasion. The graphic, which pays tribute to the late 250 world champion, had previously been released as a limited edition for the X-11. The only thing that the new X-12 Daijiro Kato lacked when compared to the original release were two of the additional color options. Many of you have asked when they would be available, and the answer is - now! The Shoei X-12 Daijiro Kato can now be had in Silver/Blue, Yellow/Blue, and the favorite around the Riders Discount offices, Red/Blue.

One of my favorite helmets of all time! One of these will go in my helmet case one day. Glad to see a rerelease.

Yes!  I bought myself the red/blue one as soon as I saw it come in the office.
