Arai Rapide Neo (Concept-X) vs Shoei Glamster, which retro helmet is better?

[@hellstrike007]

Really love your review!

[@DaDarthShow]

how about the feel of Cardo Communicator speakers, hindi na nasayad sa tenga?

[@RollWithSoul317]

🇺🇸 Excellent reviews. I think the heaviness of the Arai can be subjective. I have a large neck and I don’t notice any heaviness during long rides. You are absolutely correct about the noise comparison, my Glamster is like a limousine for the head, whereas my rapide is like the limousine but with the windows open at 75mph! I wear earplugs with both. My LS2 helmets have both of them beat in comfort, weight and quietness. Thank you for the reviews. 👍

[@apitpong12]

which LS2 helmet are you using?

Can you please contact Shoei to ask if they can release a photochromic visor for the Glamster soon? Many people are interested

[@chrisvassos9929]

I had issues fitting speakers in my Glamster, so thinking of looking at an alternative

[@onemorerev]

I have similar issue, what I did is to move it lower than the foam cutout to make it more comfortable

[@chrisvassos9929]

@@onemorerev thanks I’ll try it!

Sakto just bought an arai! From motoman din. It has pin lock na din. New subscriber here! Sa arai rapide neo may sticker siya sa likod na snell.

Nice

Thank youfor this review sir

[@lancelumaban1472]

Dami nag sasabi hindi daw intercom ready yung Glamster pero hindi lang sya noticable intercom ready sya maliit yung Medium kaya di kita pero kinapa ko sakto nman perfect fit comfy padin. Sanay kasi tayo na full circle yung intercom slot sa helmets. Since maliit yung build ng Glamster half circle lang yung earpiece slot nya

[@Shawn2nd]

Guys can you confirm the models in your video? Are they the new Concept XE & Glamster 06? Both of those are ECE 22.06 but the models you say at the beginning are Concept X & Glamster, the old models, both of which are only ECE 22.05. I'd like to know exactly what you guys are comparing in the video as I'm deciding between one of these two helms (new versions) 🙂

[@onemorerev]

Yes the latest generation of these are now 22.06

[@Shawn2nd]

@@onemorerev I know lol, but can you actually confirm in this video you're with the Concept XE and the Glamster 6? Because the Concept X and Glamster (models you mention in the video) are not ECE 22.06 certified.

[@onemorerev]

@@Shawn2nd I think the title already mentions its an X not an XE.

[@jsdre3026]

Ang ganda talaga ng porma ng glamster sir.

[@LKESBO]

Hello i tried both on Xl size and i c arai is quieter,, i think head shape is big difference 👌

[@BoiledOctopus]

You are 100% correct. I have the Glamster and the Arai, and the Arai Rapide is super-quiet in comparison. I barely wear the Glamster because of this. Also the Arai is more comfortable for me.

[@kulaprimo1]

Thank you for this review. Can i confirm that the glamster can fit in the vespa primavera top box. I notice that you are riding a primavera. If it fits inside the top box, then I am getting the Shoei. Thanks.

[@onemorerev]

Glamster XL will fit original top box of Vespa Sprint and Primavera

[@kulaprimo1]

Tbank you so much. Glamster it is for me.

[@lzy245]

Hi may i ask if arai rapide neo will fit in the original top box also? Thanks

[@vincentmagbanua9373]

Ano po mas recommended for round head glamster or neo?

[@onemorerev]

Arai is better for round face

[@vincentmagbanua9373]

@@onemorerevthank you! I already ordered mine hahahhaa I really hope it fits 🤞😂

[@nofalter7319]

nice sir Ken

[@marktib5879]

Ok lang po kahit walang ICC sticker? Wala na pong nanhuhuli?

[@onemorerev]

Depends on where you buy it locally, some has ICC stickers. Though I have not been stopped yet for helmet check, most that will get checked are those that look questionable.

[@pss0520]

Compared to my HJC V10, I had to wear earplugs on my Glamster, sobrang lakas ng wind noise and outside noise, and maybe because of the thinner/lighter shell, rinig na rinig ko mga exhaust ng jeep at other vehicles. Needs getting used to lalo kung galing sa HJC helmet.

[@onemorerev]

These classic ones are not quiet helmets, but I think that's the compromise they had to do for the looks. Thanks for dropping by.

[@taufikhidayat5633]

Correct. Also Neo is slightly quieter than Glamster. But in general, we have to except retro helmet to be loud.

[@pss0520]

@@onemorerev yup! The size, weight and the looks definetly makes up for it, minsan feeling ko alien ako because of the v10’s huge shell size.😅 one thing to note, the v10s are also on the same category as those 2 (classic/retro) maybe becuase it’s newer and follow latest standards 22.06 kaya bigger, thicker shell hence quieter

[@darkzsign]

​@@pss0520both the Arai and Shoei retros comply to the 22.06 standards tho

[@pss0520]

@@darkzsign i dont think all glamsters are 22.06 compliant, atleast the ones in asia, the ece 22.06 glamsters have bigger shell sizes from Medium up, and has reinforced double D ring straps, The one i got from tokyo with 02/24 mfg date is still 22.05👍🏻

[@xainsuave]

Shoei all the way🫡

[@jeffreywong5112]
