I voted Arai.......



However, would like to try a shoei too, to see if theyre any better.


Mine is noisy (easily solved with ear plugs) and when you have the visor up it whistles like mad. Arai tech told me thats because I shouldnt be riding with the visor up.......true doh!

I saw a piccy of Kagayama's Corsair Rx7 after his 187 mph crash last year - it was intact(ish) and he was racing the next weekend...


That's gotta be good!

Thing is when buying a helmet, you never get the true feel of it until you have been out riding in the elements.


They should have a wind tunnel what you can go and stand in with the helmet on before you commit to buy lol 8)

My Arai is my favourite (Nr 5 (?) Starflag)

Wearing a Shoei XR1000 Rutter Rep as its the same colour as my bike :oops:

Have a Suomy Gunwind thats roomy to fit my specs on, the Shoei is crap at that.


Fitted a breath guard and whisper kit to the Shoei but I :love: my Arai
