DutchMick Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Got 4 stars for my Shark, 3 for my AGV, must admit, the Shark feels more solid Quote
Guest Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Mine isn't listed as yet but oher Nolans score 4* so here's hoping.You could wear a bobble hat as long as you don't fall off Quote
DutchMick Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Well you do have a point PPF but helmets look way cooler than bobble hats.................................most of em Quote
Guest philgale Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 xr1000 3 stars might have to get one of those AGV s4 jobbies...mind you i got nowt to protect in there Quote
Philk Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I don't know about these tests, there has been a lot of fair criticism from manufacturers. i know manufacturers spend a fai bit on testing probably way mare then sharp. I also know that Shinya canned it at over 200 mph and walked away.I reckon the top manufacturers know a bit more about the real world then sharp. Don't forget the to players have been taking crashed lids back for a look see for a long time and I find it hard to believe arai or Shoie etc... would have got it wrong.That doesn't mean the cheaper helmets are not going to be safe I am just unsure of the sharp tests being quite dismissive of some makes.If you produce a product that a couple of basic failures in manufacturing could have you sued into bankruptcy I believe you would be pretty attentive.I don't believe that what the stars wear means any thing more then a paint job. But... nor would they race in something they didn't think was going to save them. Quote
Guest nastro azzurro Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 3* for My K-Series AGV....... Not good really is it. But like Phil, I gotta admit to not having alot to protect up there....... Quote
houdini Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 My helmets safely tucked away at the moment and Im damned if someones gonna try n bash it, helmets bruise easily Quote
MaidenPhoenix Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Well you do have a point PPF but helmets look way cooler than bobble hats.................................most of em there's nothing uncool about bobble hats Quote

Guest Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 mines not on there, its a KBC anyone know where these are rated??? tbh it feels good and fitted the best in the shop surely that counts ....... Quote
Guest Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I can't get the site up at work, security block.. But I have an AGV Stealth if anyone wants to check it for me... Quote
Guest Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 mines not on there either, but im not surprised at the results, or arai's responce to it all.mind you, i dont think we are going to see Rossi start wearing a RST Cobravent now are we.... even though i think that would be a laugh to see, moto GP budget stylee Quote
Guest Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Looked on there for you but AGV Stealth dont seem to be on there? My helmet got 4 stars One thing im after knowing though is how the star rating works.Matty Quote
Guest Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Mine came in at 4 stars too. Roof Ro10. Comfy lid and looks slightly different to the main rivals designs. Quote
nigelwood1 Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 The problem I have is that most of the nice n tasty helmets do not fit my head...AGV don't go big enough..Had a ROOF but not much padding over polystyrene...ARAI - Wrong shaped head... Dont like em either...At present I have an XR1000 Shoei and it fits like a glove....Its like putting your head in a pillow stuffed with squirrels.... Quote
Foz Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Its like putting your head in a pillow stuffed with squirrels.... hahaha i think that would drive me nuts! i have a caberg and its not listed Quote
killmach Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 I can't get the site up at work, security block.. But I have an AGV Stealth if anyone wants to check it for me... I have got the AGV stealth, and it aint on the list but........I think it has the same spec as the s4 which has 5 stars Both look the same in actual design and both are a fiberglass kevlar composite helmet Quote
Guest Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 At present I have an XR1000 Shoei and it fits like a glove....Its like putting your head in a pillow stuffed with squirrels.... Nice analogy I have the same lid too 8) Quote

Guest Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 i do not know about mind i have got 2 helmat on in black with a front that open and a yellow one too Quote
j4ff Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Arai arent happy with the testing.When a rider hits the floor his shoulder hits first followed by the head.The sharp test doesnt simulate real crash testing,so what was the point of it?.Areas tested on the helmets(around the side edge)are virtually impossible to hit.I still trust my Arai.
