Re: What's your helmet brand?

an Arai Quantum - titanium, to match the bike and an AGV Rossi design, wild graphics (sun and moon) that is quieter and lighter than the quantum with better ventilation.

Re: What's your helmet brand?

I have a Syncrotech. Great helmet!
The latch system seems more positive and easy to use than other modulars I looked at.
The helmet is also light and has great ventilation.
I wish more shops stocked this helmet.

Re: What's your helmet brand?

Went from a Shoei RF900 to the X-11, I like the X-11 in the summer but it is noisy compared to the RF900.

I ride with the RF900 during the winter months.

I have a Schuberth S1 - it's quite heavy but I got used to it.

Very,very quiet up to the 120klm mark then it's like any other helmet.

good venting and comfortable

Re: What's your helmet brand?

I just picked up a new lid at the IMS last week.

The newest model from Arai, The Vector.

This is called Red Eagle.

Re: What's your helmet brand?

Well, I have always been a Shoei ho, but I tried on an Arai a month or so ago and liked it as well. Wife picked this one up for me for Christmas. A Q2.

Re: What's your helmet brand?

I like that helmet alot Rich and if it were some of the colors I had on the bike, I'd be all over it.

Nice lid!

Re: What's your helmet brand?

I have just bought a Suomy - mainly because it fitted fine - I gotta small bonce too - my other 2 helmets are Hjc's - the flip up is noisy - but I fitted a helmet skirt and always wear earplugs.

Re: What's your helmet brand?

I use a Shoei RF900. The little air exhaust wing on the back seems to really work. My head buffets less than when I had my old Shoei X8.

Re: What's your helmet brand?

I started with a R-800 no complaints. I have since gotten the Scorpion exo 400. Very nice lid, pretty quiete and can't complain about the price or looks. Since then, a wreck has blemished the Scorpion and the wife bought a new one for Christmas, Shoei Strife Rf-1000. I haven't had it on the bike yet but i'm looking forward to it. It looks and feels great. I'm pretty sure i'll enjoy it on the road too.

Re: What's your helmet brand?

At least someone posted something. I was getting sick of this thread popping up because of nothing other than an incremented vote count.

Re: What's your helmet brand?

Arai quantum 11,quiet,light,incredibly comfortable.Hate changing shields so I use a light tint all the time with sunglasses in the day.May get a Shoei next time because of the shield,had them before,only helmet that compares to the Arai and part of my job is selling helmets.Although the Icon Mainframe is pretty comfortable too.
For those whose shields fog up,use an anti-fog wax.I forget what brand I have but it works on shields.So far the bathroom mirror hasn't fogged up in 2 weeks,thought I'd test it there first.
