Ira Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I've got a Tour X, it's a good helmet but not good for fast riding as the peak isn't very aerodynamic, you get head weave and buffeting or it can pull your head backwards, however it has fantastic wide peripheral vision and it isn't too noisy, the distance from your nose to the visor is big so you don't mist up as easily on wet days or get the feeling of being trapped if you suffer from claustrophobia,( I don't suffer from claustrophobia but it just made me think of that when I first put it on), changing the visor though is a lot slower than other Arai helmets as you have to undo four plastic screws with a twenty pence piece or other handy device and then get everything back in place and do them all up again, easy on the kitchen table but not so easy in a windy rain soaked services car park on the M6 as it's getting dark and you drop a screw on the ground and spend twenty minutes on your knees looking for the damn thing.Other good things are you can wear goggles without taking the visor off for going off road and it vents really well in summer, the whole lining comes out and is washable and the peak makes getting blinded by low sunshine almost a thing of the past.One other bad thing is that if it's raining it doesn't shed the water off you visor as well as other designs do, I have to move my head around from side to side in the blast to clear it.
