I'm after a new helmet and just thought I'd ask what you guys are wearing?I currently use a Shark Speed R Sauer which is very nice looking, a little noisey and took an age to bed in but all in all it wasn't a bad lid.Looking to go for similar sporty style helmets.Anyone have any recommendations?
Only worn Arai for the last 25 years, so I'm biased.
Arai visor system is foccin crap.
In what way?. The latest with the removable sidepods is even easier.
Ive had ARAI's for ages,really like the fit and comfort but always dread changing the visor,how those race mechs on the island change them so quick is unreal.
The RX7-V is a top helmet, but so is the price.I had to grit my teeth buying the QV Pro a year ago and that was in the sale. It is/was the model below the RX7-V and shares the same shell I believe.
Well I went with my gut and bought the HJC RPHA-11.Got it at an unbelievable steal of a price..... Sportsbikeshop are selling them for £360 (£450 for the Monster graphic one) I got mine from ghostbikes for £172!!!Turned up today and I'm very pleased. Read reviews beforehand and took the advice of going 1 size up and I'm glad I did, I'm usually a M but the L fits perfectly.It's beautifully light (1300g), the vents are all adjustable should you only want to open them slightly or open just the right side but not the left etc etc (No clue why)Also in the box was a free pinlock and dark smoke visor ( rrp£50) which was a very nice touch.Obviously not taken it out on the road yet but will report back when I've put a few miles on it 👍

Christ that was a deal! I wore a HJC to Morrocco and back and to be honest it peed all over the Arai I had at the time
