Two New Shoei Glamster 06 Canyon Runner Colours
The Shoei Glamster 06 collection has gained two new Canyon Runner graphics, adding fresh character to Shoei’s compact Neo-Classic full-face helmet. The new TC-2 Blue and TC-5 Matt Black versions share the same retro-inspired design but create two distinctly different looks.
TC-2 Blue is the brighter and more expressive option, with its blue finish giving the Canyon Runner artwork a strong period-inspired identity. TC-5 Matt Black takes the same graphic in a darker direction, combining a discreet matt base with a more understated road-going appearance.
Both new Shoei Glamster 06 helmets are available to pre-order now from Moto Central, with arrival currently expected in May 2027. Each retains the modern safety construction, lightweight feel and uncluttered style that define the Glamster 06.

Meet the New Canyon Runner Graphics
The two new helmets use the same Shoei Glamster 06 platform and technical specification, so the decision comes down to colour and character. Every helmet image and product name below links directly to its matching Moto Central product page.

Pre-Order Canyon Runner TC-5TC-2 Blue or TC-5 Matt Black?
The Canyon Runner TC-2 Blue places the colour and graphic at the centre of the helmet. Its brighter finish suits motorcycles and riding kit with classic paintwork, denim, leather or stronger colour accents. It is the natural choice for riders who want the Glamster 06 to become a visible part of their overall look.
Canyon Runner TC-5 Matt Black is easier to coordinate with a wider range of motorcycles and equipment. The matt base gives the helmet a quieter, more modern feel, while the graphic prevents it from looking like a plain solid-colour design.
- Choose TC-2 Blue for the brighter, more distinctive and overtly retro option.
- Choose TC-5 Matt Black for a subtle graphic that works easily with black or neutral riding gear.
What Is the Shoei Glamster 06?
The Glamster 06 is Shoei’s Neo-Classic full-face helmet, designed for riders who appreciate the clean proportions of historic motorcycle helmets but still want contemporary protection and comfort. Its compact shell, simple visor aperture and uncluttered exterior give it a convincingly classic appearance without turning it into a purely fashion-led product.
It is particularly well matched to modern classics, café racers, customs, scramblers and heritage motorcycles. The understated shape also makes it a versatile choice for everyday road riding when the rider prefers a less aggressive appearance than a modern racing helmet.
Authentic Neo-Classic Style
A compact shell, clean visor design and carefully controlled exterior detailing create a vintage-inspired profile that remains unmistakably Shoei.
Modern Road Protection
The AIM shell, multi-density EPS liner, secure Double-D fastening and ECE 22.06 approval bring modern engineering beneath the classic appearance.
Compact AIM Shell Construction
The Glamster 06 uses Shoei’s AIM shell construction, combining organic and multi-composite fibres to create a strong outer shell with controlled elasticity. The compact shape is produced in three outer shell sizes, helping the helmet remain proportionate across sizes XS to XXL.
Inside, a multi-density EPS liner uses different densities in specific areas to manage impact energy. Ventilation channels are incorporated into the liner so airflow can pass through the helmet without adding bulky external components that would interrupt its clean Neo-Classic appearance.
The Glamster 06 is approved to ECE 22.06, the current European motorcycle helmet standard. This makes the helmet suitable for UK road use when correctly sized, fastened and maintained.
CPB-1V Visor With Classic Proportions
The CPB-1V visor follows the shape of the Glamster 06’s wide eye opening and maintains the helmet’s period-inspired proportions. Its three-position adjustment allows the visor to be fully closed, partially opened or raised according to riding conditions.
The clear visor provides useful protection from wind, insects and road debris while preserving broad visibility. Its simple appearance suits the helmet’s design, avoiding the complex spoilers and mechanisms commonly found on sport-focused models.
Brow and Chin Ventilation
Air intakes around the brow and chin help direct fresh air into the helmet. The system is deliberately integrated into the shell design, providing useful airflow without dominating the exterior appearance.
This controlled approach is well suited to urban journeys, relaxed weekend rides and longer road use. The ventilation works with channels in the EPS liner to help manage heat and moisture around the rider’s head.
Removable Interior and Adjustable Fit
The interior uses a shaped 3D centre pad and supportive cheek pads to create a stable, comfortable fit. The main lining components are removable and washable, making the helmet easier to care for during regular use.
Cheek pads are available in different thicknesses, allowing the fit to be refined with compatible replacement parts where necessary. Shoei’s Emergency Quick Release System is also included to help trained responders remove the cheek pads more easily following an accident.
A helmet should fit securely around the entire head without rotating excessively. Riders should measure carefully and avoid selecting a size solely because it matches a previous helmet, as fit can vary between models.
Double-D Ring Fastening
The Glamster 06 is secured with a traditional Double-D ring fastening system. Its simple, proven design complements the Neo-Classic character while allowing the chin strap to be adjusted accurately each time the helmet is worn.
The strap must be threaded correctly and tightened firmly enough to keep the helmet secure. Any excess strap should be fastened using the retaining press stud before riding.
Lightweight, Uncluttered Design
At approximately 1,300 grams, depending on size and manufacturing tolerance, the Glamster 06 maintains a relatively light and compact feel. The absence of an internal sun visor and large external aerodynamic components helps preserve both its low-profile appearance and straightforward construction.
This simplicity is a key part of the helmet’s appeal. It offers the essential qualities required for modern road riding while keeping the visual language focused on classic motorcycle culture.

Moto Central Verdict
The Canyon Runner design is a natural match for the Shoei Glamster 06. Its graphic adds personality without hiding the compact shell and clean proportions that make the helmet so appealing.
TC-2 Blue is the standout choice, bringing richer colour and a stronger vintage identity. TC-5 Matt Black is more discreet and versatile, making it easy to pair with different motorcycles and riding equipment while still offering more detail than a plain finish.
Beneath both graphics is the same accomplished Neo-Classic platform. The AIM shell, multi-density EPS liner and ECE 22.06 approval provide the modern foundation, while the CPB-1V visor, simple ventilation, removable interior and Double-D fastening keep the design practical and focused.
For riders wanting authentic retro style from a premium helmet brand, these two Canyon Runner colours make the Glamster 06 range more interesting without compromising its understated character.
