I finally got to ride it last night. Compared to my Suomy:
- Fits very well and comfortable. Suomy's are about a half-size smaller than Arai (and everyone else).
- 10-15% larger field of vision - visor so clear that almost didn't think I had it on, and the easiest shield change I've ever seen.
- 20% less buffeting at high speed (90+), but has an annoying vibration in the faceshield above 100. Was wearing my mesh jacket, and that may be some cause.
- Quieter than my Suomy by 25-30%
- Less airflow/cooling than my Suomy i think (was so hot hard to tell).
- Graphics ROCK
I think i'm really going to like this helmet, but it's not hands down better than my Suomy (which I still intend to ride). I need a trackday to make a better comparison (in 2 weeks).
