Shoei Glamster

In 2024, the Shoei Helmets lineup, including the much-loved Marc Marquez collection, is growing with the introduction of the Glamster. The Shoei Glamster, while not a new model on its own, has been a familiar sight on European roads for nearly a decade. Characterized by its iconic rounded shell shape, a generous visor, and the timeless retro Shoei logo, the Glamster serves as a nod to the earliest days of full-face motorcycle helmets.

Marc Marquez has an affection for retroy styling and this has been evident throughout his racing career. This affection often finds expression in the unique, one-of-a-kind helmet designs he showcases at the MotoGP Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin, Texas, influenced by his passion for flat track racing.

The latest addition to the Shoei Helmets lineup, the Shoei Glamster MM93 edition, continues to reflect Marquez’s fondness for vintage aesthetics. This helmet features a dark color scheme, dominated by black and grey on the shell, accented with striking red stripes and details that distinctly identify it as part of Shoei’s MM93 collection. Marquez’s iconic number, 93, is elegantly displayed in a retro-style font against a light-grey background on both sides of the helmet.

It’s crucial to note that the MM93 edition of the Glamster maintains the same technical specifications as the original Glamster. This includes ECE 22.06 certification for optimal safety, the utilization of Shoei Drylens and Pinlock Evo Lens on the visor to prevent fogging, and strategically placed minimalist air intakes on the chin area and the top front part of the shell for enhanced airflow. The helmet also features a removable interior lining for effortless cleaning and an EQRS (Emergency Quick Release System) for swift helmet removal in emergency situations.

Presently, the Shoei Glamster MM93 has been announced exclusively in Japan, where it is priced at ¥56,000 (approximately £310, excluding tax). It’s available in sizes ranging from S to XXL. Information regarding the helmet’s availability in markets outside of Japan, including Europe, is currently unavailable. Explore the latest offerings from Shoei Helmets, including the Glamster, to elevate your riding experience in style and safety.
