The Hornet DS is a Shoei helmet that has been carefully designed for all terrain use.

It brings together the advantages of a full face helmet, with those of an off road helmet.

This ensures first-rate enjoyment both on and off road.

Combined with the Shoei Safety Concept: 'DeluxeSafety' this one is hard to beat!

The SHOEI Safety Concept (SSC) surpasses statutory safety standards by far. It was developed to ensure both maximum head protection and optimum wearing comfort. A relaxed, comfortable rider makes for an important contribution to the overall saftey whilst riding. This is why the SHOEI Safety Concept addresses both passive and preventative protection.

Regular, strict quality inspections that go far beyond the standard required by law, guarantee the first-rate quality of each helmet, fact.

Along with the perfect fit, optimised ventilation, world class aerodynamics, effective noise reduction, excellent visibility and an extraordinarily low weight, SHOEI helmets guarantee maximum wearing comfort at all speeds, ensuring even more riding pleasure.
