Great info. I used to use Shoei but switched to Shark because for me the fit is better and I like the ease of the flip down sun visor. What I love is that over the past decade or so many manufacturers have stepped up their game and make really great products for motorcyclists.

For new riders out there, I would also highly suggest to go for a fitting in-person if you can. It can make night and day difference when a professional adjusts the helmet to your head. Remember: if something is made to fit everyone, it will never really fit anyone.

Torn between the RF-1400 and Bell Race Star Flex DLX. I mostly do: 1) Daily commute on freeways 2) weekly backroad 3) and quarterly track days. All this on a Street Triple RS. The photo chromatic lens on the Bell seems like a great plus, I can’t seem to find the transitions equivalent for the Shoei available yet. Priority is on weight and quietness.

For the budget minded I recommend the LS2 Assault. So much airflow you can feel it over your hair. Internal visor also. Pinlock with a fog screen included! Battleship Grey is the king. Speaker pad mounts are nice and wide too, unlike my HJC. So good that 5 guys at work all rock them now. Very comfy too.

[@user-yk9sz9mh1t]

@@Fzee_Dre Ohh yeah anything over 80 was terribly loud due to the wind's whistling. Although, I usually had earphones with my airflite so it rarely bothered me. But it's a sturdy helmet and it looked so badass with a tinted visor, it's definitely a great helmet for the price point.

If you don’t mind me asking, how’s the noise level and ventilation with the scorpion EXO R1? A local shop ordered one in for me to try next week. I ride a Harley and I’m looking for something that’s quiet and aerodynamic. I have a couple of other helmets but they beat the sh&t out of me when riding over 70. Any insights you have would be great. Thanks!

[@jbb3675]

@@brentbandy3566 Hey Brent, the EXO R1 Air that I have is incredibly aerodynamic and there's not a lot of wind noise but it's much louder than my LS2 Arrow Carbon. I have a 2 stroke Aprilia scooter with every race part imaginable on it and it's beyond obnoxiously loud. I had only driven with the LS2 before I got the EXO and I didn't realise how loud it was until switching helmets! The LS2 is very uncomfortable compared to the EXO though. If I were you, I would also look at the AGV K3 or K6, they're probably the best in that price range. The EXO is ultra lightweight and extremely comfortable but it's nowhere near the quietest helmet I've had. Volume wise, it's closer to the HJC CL-15 Draco I had before. Hope that helps!

[@imbologna]

Just added a AT9050 to my collection of helmets. It's far more comfortable and way quieter than my HJC IS MAX II. The internal shield pokes out about 1cm when retracted, and it will catch the wind with the roost visor on on the highway. Other than that it's a great helmet with pretty much every feature you could want.

[@Near2Future]

I had my airflite for 1.6 years. It's pretty loud for me, wind noise so loud it'll infect give me a headache. Its also quite heavy, it'll easily give you neck pain & shoulder pain after a few hours of riding. Wouldn't recommend for long distance riders.

[@miguelr937]

AGV K6 would be another great option over the Shoei RF-1400. Lightest helmet in its class, carbon aramid, both DOT and ECE rated. Don't get me wrong, the RF-1400 is a great helmet but it seems that it was only an incremental change over the RF-1200.

[@sampierce1892]

Good video overall, but I can't for the life of me figure out why the Airflite is constantly given gold stars. Yes the graphics are cool, yes the visor and spoiler options are funky; but the video fails to mention the fact that the Airflite is a heavy, ill-fitting (for lots of people), and incredibly noisy helmet. Sure, graphics and cosmetic accessories are nice but compared to the function of the helmet they are rather tertiary. Not to mention, (as wasn't mentioned in the video) the Airflite MIPS cost $70 more at $320. You could buy other MIPS helmets such as the Bell Qualifier for less ($280) which also comes with an auto-tinting shield, and a fit that is far more compatible with most riders. Instead of the Airflite, there are several other helmets that would be more cost effective, offer a better fit, and be generally more pleasant to wear on the daily. Including the Scorpion EXO R420 (Snell, ~$150-$160), the HJC i10 (Snell, ~$135-$160), the aforementioned Bell Qualifier(ECE, ~$280), the HJC F70 (ECE, ~$250) just to name a few. None of these have the same flashy colorways, graphics, or cosmetic accessories that the Airflite has. What they do deliver in spades of, is better fit (for the majority) and better value. If looking cool and intimidating is the primary objective then by all means, the Airflite takes the cake every time. But you do make sacrifices for the appearance. Namely weight, size, fit and noise. If choosing a helmet that offers the most safety and function is the goal, then the Airflite has a long way to the top.

"If looking cool and intimidating is the primary objective" This is the primary objective for many riders. Hence, the Airflite sells like crazy, even though there are fiberglass/composite-shelled helmets out there (like the F70 you mentioned) for less money than the Airflite. Business gonna business, I guess. Well written though.

Hopefully since you have a tinted visor on the RF-1400 that means they will be available for the public.

One thing I can’t find anywhere is comparison of shell sizes when wearing (say the bubble head category). Maybe something for you guys to include/comment in reviews. But since I’m here, which one is more compact when on: AGV sportmodular, Nolan 100-5 or HJCs. These are different categories, but just trying to tick as many boxes as possible. Cheers!

I am a relatively new biker (1 year), and I have 3 helmets already (1 full, 1 modular and 1 open, low/mid price ranged), and I am looking these helmet videos, and thinking about getting a new one, not because I actually need one, but because I wanna try them and see if they are maybe better than my current :) Am I crazy or what? Do you guys switch helmets often, and what do you do with old ones?

Scorpion is underrated

[@kee7678]

GREAT video guys. Super helpful. Thank you!

[@whodizzlefoshizzle]

Hey hey! I've been having a terrible time finding a full face helmet, my head is to big, even Cycle Gear could not believe it! Said I was the first ever their biggest helmet wouldn't fit lol I got the hjc i10 5xl would not even start to go on my head, tired of buying and returning, maybe there just isn't one out there for me. HEEEEELLLLLLP lol thanks guys!

[@keratubes]

VERY NICE VIDEO SPURGE THANK YOU VERY MUCH !

[@shimjohn]

Scorpion is so underrated. The EXO-R1 is such a great bargain for a track helmet. My EXO-R1 Carbon that I ordered from Europe only weighs 2.64 lbs, has ECE cert, titanium D-rings, free dark smoke visor, etc. I didn’t even know about their racing cred til I saw Fabio wearing one in MotoGP. The quality is fantastic and the US version should be available soon.

[@brentbandy3566]

How’s do you think the EXO-R1 would do on a cruiser? I try looking at other helmets but I keep coming back to the R1

[@shimjohn]

Brent Bandy I think it would do great. I use mine on a KTM 1290 Superduke and that thing is a hyper naked, so no front wind protection like a cruiser and it is fantastic at higher speeds. No wind buffeting and vibrations like my old HJC CL-17 on the highway 😎.

Next Nexx have a good look at these helmets guys brilliant .Portuguese Made . Regards from Edinburgh

I miss Lemey the cruiser god

@RevZilla where is the all new ARAI Quantic 2021 for street/touring?

[@e.wintertashlin2903]

That’s what I’m holding out for too, but I haven’t seen any projections on when it’ll be in stores

[@mayorofnow]

It's the first helmet with the new ECE rating. I wonder if it'll be like the Arai Rapide: only available overseas.
