I'm after a new lid. My parents and wife are contributing so money won't be an issue.. I want the best protection I can afford. Interested to read what helmets people use and any reviews greatly appreciated
Arai all day dazzy boy but every one has there own preference get what feels comfortable on your heed
I have a shoei xspirit 2 it's the best lid I have ever owned, light, quiet large visor so great vision. And saftey is great
I bought an Arai this year from here - some good deals Arai Helmets, RX-7 GP, Quantum ST, Chaser V, Tour X4 Scunthorpe based but they mainly do mail order.
Used to have arai's but prefer shoei's more now have got the nxr model marquez rep, quality helmet and vision is good and noise is less than an arai
I shall be getting this, just as soon as i find somewhere that has them in stock HJC RPHA 10 Plus Speed Machine - FC-Moto English
Got an arai rx7 at the mo. Feels heavy and noisey.. Had arais for the last 7 or 8 years. Fsncy the shoei dunlop or marquez rep
On my 2nd Shoei X-Spirit II here Daz, first one did very well protecting my head after I 'Stepped Off' at over a Ton so can certainly vouch for their safety!
What's better with that one mr b? I know you had a few xspirit 2's so interested to hear a good comparison if you could
The NXR is more a Touring Lid so should be quieter and a tadge more comfy maybe but with a slight weight penalty.
It fit's me better it's very snug. The ventilations better for me, it's just as light if not lighter the visor aperture is huge with a cut out in the visor for the pinlock to sit in so no more rubbing against the seal Can't comment on noise as use ear plus all the time. Haven't used at high speeds yet to compare on comfort, buffeting etc. Side plates have better (easier) adjustment to adjust the visor seal. I think the Xspirit 2 does better at Sharp testing if that's your thing. Would recommend trying one.
