Between 2013 and 2018, Marc Marquez won the Grand Prix of the Americas six times in a row. Even after suffering a broken humerus and undergoing several surgeries in 2020, the Repsol Honda rider seized victory at the Circuit of the Americas again in 2021. Marquez’s form on U.S. soil earned him the King of CotA nickname, and Shoei honors his impeccable winning record with a limited-edition Z8 helmet in the American Spirit graphic.
Worn during the 2022 Grand Prix of the Americas, the special livery pays homage to the United States flag with a red, white, and blue color combination along with stars and stripes integrated into the design. Marquez’s signature number 93 emblazons both sides of the helmet while Marc Marquez script adorns the back. Though the six-time MotoGP champ sported the graphic on Shoei’s flagship X-Fifteen model, the race replica utilizes the brand’s eminent all-arounder, the Z-8 (RF-1400).
