Ekoi AR14 road cycling helmet first impressions. Is it a keeper?

[@independentmind1977]

Thank you Federico, I'm also a man that made the choice to shave his head and find this has had an impact in comfort and fit of helmets, so your review is very welcome. I'm in need of a new helmet for the 2024 season, so thanks again. Currently looking at the MET selections.

[@timothyskattum950]

I enjoyed this, well done. I’m looking at Ekoi just now and this helped.

[@fede1275]

It could be a nice one if it fits you.

[@jralicea6299]

Kudo's, well done and explained! As others have said, ... "one size fits all" is not realistic; hence helmets need to be tried on for proper fit.

[@simondavis9439]

I ordered ar14 and sent back padding not good and very strange size ,seems very small for a medium.

[@fede1275]

Yes, seems very little volume in the forehead area. Pity as it could have been a great lid

[@Alex90brt]

I ordered ar14 too in size M but I think It Is bigger than ekoi Gara size M! I have 57 cm and the size M Is from 55 to 58! I dont know if I have to sent It back

[@alessandrocolapinto9524]

I have the ekoi 13 and I always have marks on my forehead. I also have an oval head, i think i will buy the trenta or manta. Thx for the review

[@fede1275]

It seems that they have an odd mould shape for their helmets. Pity because I liked it, good value as well. Trenta fits me perfectly

[@olishobbyscene1643]

great video Federico. In the end with cycling helmets it's the same as with motorcycle helmets. not all fit all head shapes. Def worth trying on before bying. Luckilly for my large slightly rounded head sized around 60cm, the Ekoi shape suits me quite well. but as said, which one is right for who depends on the individual head shape

[@fede1275]

Absolutely. So if I remember correctly you should fit Shoei bike helmets, while I used to have an Arai.

[@olishobbyscene1643]

@@fede1275 yep, love my Shoei Neotec ;) Schubert and similar - no chance ...

[@TJS71]

Great review amico

[@stuartfreedman6854]

Doesn't matter how well built it is. If there is any question about fit, send it back. We have the same head shape. I will check out the MET Trento. Thanks.

[@fede1275]

Absolutely, I sent it back. I am thinking about the new MET Manta MIPS now

[@ombre9]

What happened with your white Manta mips?

[@fede1275]

I'm using it almost every day on the commute! Love it.

[@policek6276]

Super Video, Federico🤙

[@fede1275]

Thank you 👍

[@Patrick-mu7uw]

the AR14 has MIPS??

[@fede1275]

No MIPS on the AR14 I tried.

[@chachaalm5683]

You were right..i also sent back the Ekoi because of its shape..

[@fede1275]

Such a shame, it was really nice for the spec and price.

[@chachaalm5683]

Yeah really strange..the size IS ok but bad pressure on the front of the head makes it unconfortable

[@fede1275]

@@chachaalm5683 Exactly what I found. Maybe works on more round shape heads.

[@jakec1483]

Great content !!

[@fede1275]

Thank you Jake!

[@daviddang82]

What size is your koi helmet?

[@fede1275]

This was an M/L size. Sizing seem to run smaller than the other helmets I had and with low volume on the forehead

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

"there is madness in this logic" An innocent mis-speak... or a Freudian slip? I like it either way! 😀👍

[@fede1275]

😁

[@antonwillis896]

Can you advise me on some bike lights for winter cycling?

[@fede1275]

Yes, on my commuter I use a Cateye AMPP 400 at front and a Lezyne strip at rear. I commute in London, so the aim is to be seen. I mentioned the lights in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6msoq2PibBgras

[@Hunterthepunter126]

How come an Italian doesn't have a Kask!!!!!

[@fede1275]

I know, when I started cycling it seemed to me that everyone was riding a Protone, I wanted to try something different. They look great anyway.

Sir, as former helmetholic you need a helmet intervention!

I got my sight on the new MET Manta in white already...

AR15 is too heavy☝️ if ur thinking about it

Thank you, I have 5 helmets now, I'm all set. Or am I? 😂

@@fede1275 Very good choice 👏🥳

[@Helcc]

Ha ha cycling takes all your money if your a cycling fashionista 🤑😅 thanks will look at the met trenta as my face is thin and long and Alot looks stupid on me. do you have a go to Italian meal you eat Alot?

[@fede1275]

🤣🤣

[@Hunterthepunter126]

Instead of buying new helmets, you can upgrade you Ferrari's alloy wheels

I made a video to explain why cycling it's addictive, it makes sense!
