I have a Shoei RF900 that I love but it was very noisy and did not breathe very well in hot weather. After doing a lot of research, it came down to the Corsair RX-7 and the X-Eleven. I tried both and liked each one but the Shoei seemed to fit just a tad better on my head. My RF900 was a great helmet but if you turned to either side you would get tons of buffeting and noise. The X-Eleven does not do that. In fact, it’s so comfortable and quiet compared to my RF900 that I cannot believe the difference. And, all of a sudden my ZG Double bubble works just fine. So, I can only believe that it was the RF900 that pushed my head back so hard.
To me, this is a big upgrade even though the cost of the two helmets is not that much difference. I have to say that I did not try out the new RF1000. It is supposed to be a fantastic upgrade from the 900.
Just my opinion.
