which helmets are you guys using?

[Tiberius Onklevaart]

I don't wear a helmet

[Aegis Bearing Mel]

Had Arias since I started riding, still use my Quantum on the odd occasion but don't think I'll be buying another after using this Reevu for my commute since January.
Superb bit of kit; comfy, lightweight, quiet and the wee mirror thing is magic.
Well worth a look.

arai classic open face with either ugly fish or bolle goggles , very occasionally an agv full face

[sure2ride]

Shark Vision  Fits me nicely, drop down sun visor, front visor ventilation setting. A good helmet, but a tad on the noisy side. ( I like a really quiet helmet).

[Liroka]

Caberg V2 407. An awful, noisy & dangerous full face helmet, but it does have a sun visor. How is it dangerous? Well, over 50% of the time the visor will flip up at motorway speeds when I look over my shoulder. I so wish I hadn't dropped my Raid II.


Saying that, a friend of mine swears by Caberg flip helmets.

[Jazz999]

Marushin, internal sun visor is a godsend and it's about the only thing I've found that's a decent fit for me.

Caberg duke flip lid for me.. Definately quieter than my previous caberg j2 and justissimo flip lid

I had used Arai for about 15 years but decided to change to a Reevu two years ago.


Well impressed, it is quieter, comfier, better ventilated and Cheaper than an Arai. It has a removable liner that can be custom fit to your head (they provide a second set free of charge) and it has a rear view mirror system built in (which takes about 500 miles to get used to).


My only grip is the liner colour is a bit light, so shows up any dirty marks.

How do you find the sizing. I used to have a Arai years ago in a Large size but currently have a Shoei XR1000 which is a Medium. I like the Shoei but find it's a bit noisy but a whole quieter than the Arai was. I like the look of the Reevu but nobody nearby stocks them.

How much do you actually see out of the rear view mirror?

I thought about it for a while and thought I'd spend too much time looking into the helmet liner!

I like the DD strap fitting, had a seat belt type one on a Shoei 800 and it was OK but the DD always gets tightened to just the right amount regardless of what neck wear ot not you are wearing

I agree.
When the new Shoei GT-Air was announced it had a seat belt type fitting, and still does in the brochures, but they come to the UK with double D ring. I wouldn't have a helmet with anything else.
The flip down visor is very useful. Going from roads in full sun to shady tree lined roads you can see again in 1 second. The visor fitting is improved than on my older XR1000, it really fits tight against the helmet.
The breathguard is the most flimsy thin piece of plastic I've ever seen though. I had to pad the thing out with tape to get it to stay in place.

Soapy, what do u reckon to the rear view? Does it help? Saw these ages ago but as they were new and didnt fancy just risking it so i bought a different helmet.

[dr bong]

Only buy a Caberg if you are stone deaf. Had a Schuberth S1 Pro, very heavy and gave me the worst helmet hair ever, no better than the XR1000 I had before. Got a Roof Boxer V8 now, love it exept when it's pishing down, not the best visor seal, use the Multitec in the rain.

[Frosties]

Caberg Ego with integral sun visor. Noisy even with plugs and the visor seals let rain run down the inside. Air vents are totally useless and couldn't get the pinlock to work.


Soooo, in the same boat and looking for a new lid. Currently looking at Shark S900C  :rolleyes [size=78%] [/size]

Sorry for any confusion. I was asking a question at the bottom of his quote. I have a Shoei XR1000 which is quite noisy. I was asking Tmation a couple of questions about the Reevu.

[Looney tune]

XR1100 for me, little noisy but since Neely fitted my starcom its just music I hear. Superb fit which for me over rules any downsides, comes with free pin lock 


Also have a KBC helmet, quiet but not as good a fit as the shoei

[/size]First size, I had an Arai Quantum E size M two Arai RX7 XX both L then an Astro R in size M. I got the Reevu in size Med and the sent me a set of size L linings  (they will send a second set to allow custom fit). I got mine from Shiny Bike Syndrome  [/size][size=78%]http://www.shinybikesyndrome.co.uk/new/[/size] [/size](Nooj on here) but the main place is in the north east somewhere. Excellent back up and support, but phone for spare visors etc don't order from website.[/size][size=78%] [/size][/size][size=78%]http://vision-helmets.com/[/size]

[/size]Rear view is very good and as I said it takes around 500 miles to get used to it (don't stare into it all the time) the view isn't crystal clear like a car mirror but it's good enough. It is great for ride outs and track days etc plus normal commuting and riding, I don't understand why all riding instructors don't wear them.

[/size]I find the Helmet very comfortable for all day riding, it is much quieter than all my Arai helmets, the forward vision is good, visor changing easy (download instructions from site), the ventilation can be felt working especially down the back of my head, downside its 200-300 grams heavier than my last Arai.

Just bought an HJC IS-17, black. Judging by short ride home from work today in hot sunshine, the vents work well, really noticed the difference. Drop down dark visor - first one of these I've had. Seems to fit nicely with no uncomfortable tight spots. Retails at about £140 - brand new at £76! That'll do me...
Nice to retire cheap £45 Box that I only really bought to pick up the bike when I bought it. Will do for a spare. Was going to wait for next lot of HJC RPHA10 Carbons to come in, but going to Wales next week, so needed something decent sooner. Will let you all know what I think of The IS-17 after a bit more intensive use.

This reevu looks interesting, hadn't heard of it before this thread. To any of the owners: does the tunneling for the mirror make it sit really high on your head?

One of my buddies has just got a nexx r1r carbon as well - feck me! Makes my Nolan helmet feel like a tank, the things so light!

So many to choose from, still wish there was a shop local that had a decent selection so I could get one that I know for sure fits my bonce properly, buying online and having to return etc it a hassle..
