helmet

[cjaj_70]

Was wodering what helmet you guys would recommend. Have been looking at shoei, aria or suonomy. Any pros and cons to these helmets?

 

[greeneinc]

They are all pretty good helmets but it really comes down to which one fits your head better and is more comfortable for you ventilation wise. I have only worn Shoei helmets.

The best helmet in the world is the one that you will wear ALL of the time.

Other than that...I love my Arai RX-7 Corsair

Try them on for fit and stand in front of a fan in the store with the visor down for air flow.

I have an Arai Signet GT, I really like, It is my second one, I tried a Shoei, and dont like the fit of it.
It is more personal fit, what you like, and fits you best is going to be the best helmet to get.

Just bought a new icon mainframe. Motorhead on the other site says out of the dozen or so hi end lids he owns , he wears that one the most often. He has worn it WAYYY over 200 mph .. no buffet probs... goodenuff for me. sj

I allways worn Shoei helmets. 1 currantle wear the RF900.

I wear the arai quantum. It's very comfy but does have wind noise. But then I think they all have a little wind noise. I can't comment on the others since I've been a arai fan for years.

Try all brands on for size, it comes down to personal fit. I have the HJC CL-14, the best fit for me. They make a nice sporty and colorful AC-11 model now and the price is right, much less than most of the other popular brands.

I wear a Shoei Rf-900 Duhamal and love it but, any of the helmets you listed are top notch.

 

[shenoyp]

shoei x-11 ... comfortable ... nice ventilation and resonably good sound protection!!

 

[JTCobra]

Shoei X-11 Fit perfect, and lots of ventilation

 

[FJRider]

I'm ordering a matching helmet here soon. I may have a barely used Aria for sale (Astral-X model I believe). Black & Gray, XLg, not a scratch, clear shield, and cover. PM if interested.

Hayabusa (shoei) RF-900 great fit, but it moves around alot at higher speeds, Arai RX-7 Corsairerfect fit, great ventilation, and does not move around at all at higher speeds,Axo RR-6 Carbon Fiber: Almost as good as the Arai,it is a little warm in the summer i think due to it dark color.I will be trying the Soumy Spec1R Extremes here very soon.NJ.

I am on my second Arai and wouldn't wear shid else.

 

[werdkat]

shoei oliver replica and an AC-11 yikes with a mohawk. I like both of them equally, except for the wind noise. The HJC has a bit more wind noise than mah shoei.

 

[motorkar]

love my Scorpion

 

[HayaVegas]

I have had HJC Cl-12, CL-14,
KBC TK8
and now I just bought a SHOEI RF1000.

I say hands down, the SHOEI RF1000 is quieter, lighter, and more comfortable than any of the other helmets I have had.

I will from now on, compare any future helmet purchases to the SHOEI Rf-1K...so all others have to beat it before I will buy them.

Dont get me wrong, - I used to be completely satisfied with the HJC's and the KBC. It was only after "actually using" the SHOEI RF1000 that I realized how much better that particular SHOEI model really was.

And it was expensive....yes, -but I find the expense worth it in how light and comfy it feels.
