I just bought myself a Shoei XR1100 a month or two ago to replace my AGV and I have to say its fan-fookin-tastic

Very comfy, very quiet in comparison to my old lids, and good quality with a good visor change system.

Definitely would get my vote.

I have the scorpion, fantastic and ticks all the boxes.

edit: and it has the Top Gun flip down sun visor ::

The scorpion lid i like is last season so cant get it :0(

The Shoie looks good. Airoh look like good lids as well.

Are AGV any good?

I get a fair bit of noise with my shark s900 and a fair bit of wind on my face.

I've got AGV K3 and I really like it... Its only my second helmet and my old one was FING terrible so cannot comment on what else is out there.

Biggest issue with the shark s900 is wind on my face and noise.

It's worth checking the Sharp ratings on the lids too.

The Shoei has a 5-star rating:

At the end of the day, the fit has to be right though and some makes suit some people more than others.

I've had an X-602, the design is starting to show it's age compared to what's available now. The top vents can open by themselves with enough wind pressure. On a positive note, the visor mechanism is excellent, far superior to the Arai TourX 3 I use now.

A friend of mine has an XR1100, he says it's a great lid, I don't know much about it, he works for Hein Gericke and had his pick of every lid they stock, so that's testament to how highly he rates the XR.

My friend hates AGVs, hates wearing them, hates selling them and hates having to work through the mountain of warranty returns they generate. My girlfriend has a Stealth SV, she picked it herself, if I'd had anything to do with it she'd have had anything but that.
