Ride Smarter: Introducing the Shoei GT-Air 3 Smart Helmet

The motorcycle world just got a major upgrade with the launch of the Shoei GT-Air 3 Smart Helmet. This revolutionary full-face helmet is the first in the world to feature a fully integrated augmented reality (AR) heads-up display (HUD), transforming how riders access critical information on the road.
Seamless AR Integration for Safer Riding
Developed in collaboration with EyeLights, the GT-Air 3 Smart embeds a nano-OLED microdisplay directly into the visor. This advanced system projects speed, GPS navigation, call notifications, radar alerts, and even a compact map overlay about three meters ahead of your line of sight. The Full HD display boasts 3,000-nit brightness, ensuring clear visibility even in direct sunlight. By keeping your eyes on the road, the AR HUD can reduce reaction times by over 32% compared to traditional screen glances.
Premium Comfort and Safety
Beyond its smart tech, the GT-Air 3 Smart retains Shoei’s legendary comfort and safety standards. The helmet’s shell is crafted from an Advanced Integrated Matrix composite, delivering top-tier protection with both DOT and ECE 22.06 certifications. It features optimized ventilation, a QSV-2 drop-down sun visor, and a Pinlock-ready CNS-1C outer shield for all-weather clarity. The interior liner is comfortable for long rides, and the helmet remains quiet even at high speeds.
Smart Features for Modern Riders
The GT-Air 3 Smart is loaded with rider-friendly tech:
- Universal intercom with unlimited range and offline mesh fallback for seamless group rides.
- Active noise-cancelling microphone and speakers for crystal-clear communication, even at speed.
- Voice control compatibility with Siri and Google Assistant, allowing hands-free operation.
- Over 10 hours of battery life with USB-C charging, ensuring all-day connectivity.
Stylish Design and Availability
Available in five color options – White, Matte Black, Matte Metallic Blue, Matte Metallic Gray, and Realm TC10. Sizes range from S to XXL, making it accessible for a wide range of riders. Pre-orders began at EICMA 2025, and the helmet is now available globally. Priced at approximately $1199, which translates to around ₹99,000 in India. This price is nearly twice that of the standard GT-Air 3 helmet.
