Shoei X-Spirit II McGuinness Replica Released

Celebrating John McGuinness’ latest TT victory - winning the 2011 PokerStars Seniors’ Race - the British division of helmet manufacturer Shoei has launched a special edition X-Spirit II helmet replica, which is to come in a limited run of just 500 units.

Dubbed Shoei X-Spirit II Legend TC-9, the helmet will have an SRP of £599.95, offering the same technology, protection and comfortable fit, as the X-Spirit II model on which it is based.

The Honda TT Legends rider found himself seven seconds in arrears at the end of the first lap but he hunted race leader Guy Martin down, and with two stunning laps on laps 3 and 4, he was able to go some 15 seconds clear.

John clinched a thrilling 17 th victory in the final race of the 2011 Isle of Man TT Races, setting a new, record time of 1:45.45.8 in the process, but had to come from behind to do it.

“It took me a lap or so to get dialed into the superbike again, but in laps three and four, I really, really pushed hard and realised I could get back into the race,”
he said in the official post-race press conference. “I’m really enjoying my racing at the moment, and I’d like to thank everyone, I don’t think I’ve ridden better and I’m dead proud of winning my 17 th race here – it’s brilliant.”

“I've been fortunate to have been given some terrific equipment this year and I've just got to say thank you to everyone that's involved with John McGuinness Racing.”
