Wow, what can I say about the XD-4 Africa Twin Helmet? This thing is a game changer! The FCS® cheek pads design delivers unparalleled comfort and support, and the option to change the look every time I ride is just amazing. The peel-away side/temple crown pads are a genius feature that gives me 10 mm more interior width when I need it.
The high-flow peak and fully removable, replaceable, and washable interior keep me drier and cooler for greater long-haul comfort. The intermediate oval shape fits my head perfectly, and the chin vent with more intake ports provides excellent airflow. The larger, sculpted vents improve ventilation efficiency and helmet stability at speed.
I also appreciate the emergency cheek pads release system, which allows easier access to an injured rider. The brow vents in the faceshield provide airflow to the temple area of the head, and the eyeport is designed to improve ventilation without compromising shell integrity and impact energy management performance.
Overall, this helmet is a must-have for any serious motorcyclist. The quality and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of the design. Sure, delivery was delayed, but it was worth the wait. I’m so glad I made the investment in this amazing helmet! ????

I’ve been using this helmet for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed with the level of comfort and features it offers. The FCS® cheek pads are a game-changer, providing excellent support and comfort for long rides. I also appreciate the peel-away side/temple crown pads, which give me the option of 10 mm more interior width when I need it. The high-flow peak and larger, sculpted vents are also great for ventilation and helmet stability. And the emergency cheek pads release system is a nice touch.
However, I do have to say that the customer service could be better. I had some issues with the shipping, and it took a while to get resolved. But overall, I’m really happy with this helmet and would definitely recommend it to other enthusiasts. It’s a solid choice for anyone looking for a comfortable, feature-packed ride.

So, I’ve been using this helmet for a few weeks now, and I gotta say, it’s been a real treat. The FCS® cheek pads are super comfy, and I love how I can change the look of the helmet every time I ride — or even during the same ride! The peel-away side/temple crown pads are a game-changer, giving me 10 mm more interior width when I need it. And let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good brow vent in the faceshield? It’s like a mini-vacation for my forehead.
But seriously, this helmet is pretty great. The high-flow peak and larger, sculpted vents improve ventilation efficiency and helmet stability, and the emergency cheek pads release system is a nice touch. And hey, who doesn’t love a good pull-tab? The chin vent has more intake ports for improved airflow, and the intermediate oval shape fits my head perfectly.
However, I gotta say, the customer service could be better. I had some issues with the shipping, and it took a while to get resolved. But hey, at least they were helpful and prompt when they finally got back to me. So, there’s that.
Overall, I’d say this helmet is a solid choice for anyone looking for a comfortable, feature-packed ride. Just be prepared for some potential shipping snafus. But hey, that’s just the life of an enthusiast, right?

This mid-range helmet gets the job done with good ventilation and protection without breaking the bank.

The XD-4 Africa Twin helmet from Shoei is pretty versatile for fit and decent for casual use, but falls short on ventilation and noise reduction compared to similar options.
