Great review as always, thank you 🙏

7:05 pushing the tab (instead of pprying the visor off of the tab) is easier, and how it's meant to be used..

[@sportsbikeshop]

Yes, but pushing the tab leaves the visor hooked on the pin so to get it to lift fully you still need to peel it away slightly once you've done that. That's what I was trying to say. Apologies for not making it clearer. Cheers, Tony

Based on fit ? Personally I found Arai a better fit - in Shoei I was L in Arai M so personally Arai fit better

Just bought a Haslam rep RX7V off Helmet city for £249 😮 £540 quid discount…. Beat that sbs!

[@sportsbikeshop]

Nice deal on an older helmet (not that there's anything wrong with buying an older lid if it's been stored correctly). We sold our last one of those helmets in May 2021. Cheers, Tony

[@neoquest2012]

@@sportsbikeshop what for £249 🤔

[@sportsbikeshop]

I shouldn't think so. As I said, you got a nice deal there. Cheers, Tony

Usually wear a small 55-56 on my Shoei which is a little tight. Since i wear glasses, would it be better to get the Arai in a medium size?

[@sportsbikeshop]

I wouldn't recommend going up a size to accommodate glasses. I would start with the small Arai and if that fits well, try your glasses. If you can't fit them in, I'd either change my glasses or look for a helmet that will accommodate the ones you have. A helmet that's too big will be problematic in many ways, including a reduction in protection should you ever call it into the most serious kind of action. Cheers, Tony

I have an Arai Quantic already, but would like also a more track orientated lid, in the Quantic I wear size L, would it be the same for the RX7 ?

[@sportsbikeshop]

I would expect so, Peter. I wore a medium in both Quantic and RX-7V when reviewing the lids, so they should be consistent. Cheers, Tony

[@andrewwelbourn9577]

What’s it like in the rain. Can the top scoops be closed?

[@sportsbikeshop]

Thanks for getting in touch. It's absolutely fine in the rain and yes, the top scoops can be closed off. Cheers, Tony

[@rusydilee3764]

Whats is the different with rx7v and rx7x

[@sportsbikeshop]

We don't get the RX-7X in the UK so I have no experience of it, but it appears from my quick searches to be the Japanese version of the RX-7V. I would expect it to be essentially the same helmet, but with a different internal shape to suit the differences between head shapes around the world. I hope this helps. Cheers, Tony
