HJC IS-MAX2

No I would not buy again, wind noise is terrible!

Shoei or Schubert next time

 

I like flip lids , Schuberth E1 is what I have now.
I like it a lot, it fits well and is fairly quiet but peak vibrates a lot and annoys me. Doesn't cause my head to vibrate but it is in my vision and that annoys me. I have removed it and all is fine.
When the time comes it will be a toss up between the Schuberth E2, Shoei Neotec 3 .
I was considering the Schuberth C5 but reckoned I might as well go for the E2 if going the Schuberth route as I can always remove the peak and end up with a C5 with slightly better ventilation.

 

I tried on a mob of helmets at a local Honda based dealer recently. The Neotec 2 fit me the best of all the helmets I tried. Priced out of my range, and I wound up ordering a Schuberth Adventure, $389. I hope it fits my long face.

 

Arai - any model.

I find my Arai 3/4 quieter than many full face helmets.

For cold winter riding, consider a full face.

 

I am on my third Nolan helmet. The first was a Nolan Classic, the second an N102 and the current N100-5. Excellent quality, reasonably quiet, internal sun visor and midrange price wise. The Nolans were all modular. I haven't broken a pair of glasses since using the modular helmets. Now that I used prescription glasses, that is a bonus by itself. Nolan also seems to be the best fit for my head.

 

I had a Nolan modular. At first I thought I liked it. But like any helmet, eventually mileage told me the helmet (N103) was not it for me.

Overall, I think my default go to helmet manufacture is Arai. They simply seem to perform reliably.

 

Neotec2 currently and will move to the Neotec3 when it becomes available Stateside. (Or maybe another 2 if the discounts are enough due to closeout)

 

Neotec 2.

 

Schuberth E2.
The sound quality the built-in headset is much better than the previous models. (SC2)

 

HJC DS-X1 and yes I would buy again

 

Scorpion XT-9000

I would buy again, fantastic visor in the rain and comes with a smoke and clear visor. Best pin locked visor I’ve used on any helmet. (i own RF1200, Schuberth E1 with pinlocks).

Helmet is carbon fiber and pretty light. It fits like my Shoei RF1200.

Visor has good smooth indenting as well.

Speaker pockets worked with Sena 30k, then Packtalk Edge when that died in the rain.

Noise is no worse than my Shoei or Schuberth. The peak doesn’t vibrate (that drove me nuts on E1). I wear earplugs in all my helmets so keep that in mind.

 

Arai tour x4, absolutely love it, so comfortable you'll forget you have it on your head.

 

Taking a trip tomorrow to look at Schubert C3 Pro modular helmet. Supposed to be extremely quiet. Currently own a Sena Outrush R modular. I wouldn't buy it again since it's an entry level Bluetooth helmet with poor speakers for my aging hearing.

 

I was a man of the HJC's.... I had the Rpha 70 (retired) ... I'm a Scorpion man at the moment. I have two helmets... The summer/city one is a VX-21 and the winter/travel one is the Exo-1400 EVO carbon.

 

Shoei Neotec2 and an Arai XD4 which I rarely use any more...both great helmets, but I'd probably try something else next time for no other reason than a preference for something different...similar to my pursuit of women in my 20's

 

X-Lite X551 peaked adv type full face at the moment, happily have the same again. I buy on fit, first and foremost. I'd rather have a cheaper well fitting lid than say an Arai or Shoei that fits badly....
I do find the peak brilliant in Spring and Autumn with the low sun.

 

I went thought the same over last couple of months and went for a LS2 advent x carbon lid.

I love a flip lid but don’t like it above my head when riding it catches etc this one flips 180 degrees and sits behind you

would I buy this again yes in a heartbeat it’s comfortable, fits correctly, comes with both a clear and tinted visor and pin locks helmet pillow bag and back pack too

I can’t say I’ve ever owned a helmet that I didn’t like or felt uncomfortable in. But then I‘m jaded to them since they have been off and on my head for about 50yrs. So I started off with ones that weighed enough to kill someone if you threw it at them, to todays composite designs that weigh a quarter of what the old ones weighed, not to mention the materials of the inserts and venting…..
So you can say I just got use to ignoring the helmet so I really don’t notice it..

 

My daily lid is an HJC RPHA Pro Carbon. WAY noisier than my Shoei's, but very light and I find it more comfortable for my head. I run a true moto helmet and moto goggles on off-pavement oriented trips.

 

Schuberth C3, confortable and quite silent, luckily found one in a stock fund

 

Arai x4 for me, love the fit and feel

 

Neotec 2 and yes I would. First class helmet IMO.

 

Just don't get one of these

 

... heh, heh, ... that barely passes for a cyclist helmet these days.

 

Neotec 2. Best helmet I've ever owned!

 

Lots of positive votes regarding the Neotec 2.

Into the pile I'll throw in the Klim Krios Pro as a very good model to consider.

 

I have been using the Arai XD4 and while I like it, have been thinking of trying the Klim Krios Pro. Any good feedback anyone might offer? The XD4 is heavy and the shell looks huge on my medium sized head although I do love the visor.
