On February 27, 2026, Helmet House, SHOEI’s exclusive distributor in the United States, revealed the VFX-EVO Malcolm Stewart M.S. Twenty Seven Limited Edition helmet. This signature off-road model draws inspiration from Malcolm Stewart’s famous number 27 and is built upon SHOEI’s advanced VFX-EVO platform to offer high-level protection and durability for riders facing demanding conditions.
Advanced Protective Features and Helmet Construction
The VFX-EVO serves as the foundation for this limited edition helmet, featuring SHOEI’s Multi-Ply Matrix AIM+ shell design paired with the Motion Energy Distribution System (M.E.D.S.). This technology is designed to lessen rotational acceleration forces during impacts, all while preserving the helmet’s lightweight and performance-centric feel. Wind tunnel-tested ventilation contributes to airflow efficiency, ensuring optimal comfort during intense off-road riding.
Additional safety enhancements include a dual-layer, multi-density EPS liner, and the Emergency Quick Release System (E.Q.R.S.) for swift helmet removal in emergencies. The helmet meets stringent safety certifications, complying with Snell M2025D and DOT-218 standards.
Collaborative Design Efforts with Malcolm Stewart and the SHOEI Team
The helmet’s unique graphic was developed through a close partnership between Malcolm Stewart, the original artist, and SHOEI’s design team. Drawing from the initial concept, SHOEI’s manufacturing specialists in Japan translated intricate artwork into a production-ready finish. The final product faithfully replicates the multilayered graphics and integrates Malcolm’s official sponsor logos with meticulous precision, adhering to the high craftsmanship standards found in every handmade SHOEI helmet.
