The Shoei J-Cruise II: a premium open-face helmet with a built-in sun shield and a Pinlock-ready face shield.
What the features mean on the road
- AIM shell: Shoei's multi-fiber Advanced Integrated Matrix. Why it matters: a light shell designed to spread impact forces.
- Built-in sun shield with an easy switch: reachable with gloves, blocks 99% of UV.
- CJ-2 face shield: tool-free removal with QR-N base plates, a wind-blocking air dam, scratch-resistant, Pinlock-ready (insert sold separately).
- Adjustable top and rear vents, multi-piece EPS: airflow that cools.
- 3D Max-Dry liner: removable and washable.
Fit and sizing
Shoei lists the J-Cruise II as an intermediate oval, in four shell sizes. We fit helmets free at the shop, so you can check the shape before you buy.
A good fit if you want an open-face with a shield and sun shield.
Look elsewhere if you want a simpler open-face: see the RJ Platinum-R.
