arai rx7-gp or shoei xr1100

[toon83]

unsure which helmet to buy any advise would be great but not which ever helmet fits me best cos iv tried them both on and there both a really good fitting

[Guest Hodgy]

There both really good helmets and I doubt there would be much to choose between either as far as quality goes.

I'm supprised both fit really well though, usually it's either one or the other as there both a different fit.

I would say just get whichever design you prefer or whichever you can get on offer for the least amount of £££

If they really do both fit well

and you can't chose on looks

then buy the cheaper one and spend the difference

on beer!

Your not gonna get any, more sensible advice than that!

I've got the XR1100... it's a great fit & has great visibility, however it's quite noisy at 50+ & seems to have a massive visor!

Mine came with a pinlock & the visor system is very easy to change.

I used to have the older version of the RX-7 (08 model) and it was a bit noisy due to all the vents. It`s more geared for the racer (so Iv`e been told) and thats why there are so many vents, however it was a fantastic, lightweight helmet and worth the money I paid for it. I now have the "Chaser" and am equally pleased with this one and it`s a lot cheaper than the RX-7. Cant comment on the Shoei, sorry.

do you still have problems with the noise?

[nman1]

Not with the Chaser. It was quite a difference how much quieter the chaser was.

Get the shoei, its better rated.
