orangelion03 the only problem is my Simpson Street Bandit from 2017 still has the peg and I almost lost my shield when the plastic screws on either side worked their way loose. Thing thankfully waited to fall apart until I sat my helmet on my kitchen table. Don’t get me wrong, I still love my Simpson, but I’d love to see them modernize a bit of the daily workings.
@orangelion036 жыл бұрын
After that model 30, I had a model 60 for a few years. Great helmets for their time. Some years later I raced karts and cars, and wore Simpson car-racing specific lids. When I returned to riding after a long hiatus, I briefly looked at what Simpson had to offer and was not impressed when compared to even the lower cost offerings from Asia. But they still look bitchin' when paired with certain types of v-twin bikes.
@hvymtal85666 жыл бұрын
And as a bonus simpson insists on SNELL or ECE for every lid they make that's actually good (half helmet not because duh, and the M50 and M30 for having jawbreaker chin bars). The Ghost Bandit is one of their newest offerings and while it's not quiiiite there yet (good exhaust scheme and chin vents but no brow or top intakes), it is miles better, is made in the USA, and invests its dollars into safety over expensive materials. Plus it has an awesome American flag graphic it actually earns, and you can _almost_ call the shape sporty and technical.

For people considering their first Arai, I have to say I'm really happy about my new Arai QV. There are a couple of "ehh" things about it, like the tabs that hold most of the lining in place (not the easiest to get right) and the opening tab for the visor which takes getting used to. But it is super comfortable once fit properly and really quiet. As far as safety tests are concerned, it should be right in the best buys out there. Expensive, yes. But if you can afford it, you'll likely be very happy of your purchase. Also the QV is one of the only helmets that will fit properly on a long oval head, so there's that.

He said good things about Arai, and in fact, said that it was a cheap but quality Arai. Its only expensive if you want to pay that much for a helmet (I dont lol) The fashionable ones are just because some people are obsessed with looking good. The tech one only to give props to the noise cancelation, but he might as well have just put that on an aside as a shout out. The HJC he also liked. He just had a few issues, but said that overall, it is a worthy helmet to get for the price range. But he is always a critical one, so dont take it too harshly. Its a good thing in a way because it means he is being fair, even if it can seem confusing when he doesnt make one seem so obviously awesome and unregrettable to buy.

The other thing is if you get a cell-phone charger with a dual-USB setup, you can charge your phone AND run the noise cancellation 16 hours+.

I'm pretty sure almost everything he said about the Arai was positive, expect for the $650 pricetag.

Enjoy your $200 scorpion. Coworker had one and after crashing stupidity, he put a 4 inch wide dent on top. They ended up drilling holes in his head to releave pressure. Ultimately he ended up getting fired from work after putting the wrong chemicals in our service machines. Apparently his $200 helmet affected his memory

Well.....I got the Icon Airflite about a month ago (gloss black with chrome lid!) cost me £200, not the cheapest but certainly not expensive, to me it doesn’t feel heavy and I actually find the field of vision especially my periphery very good indeed. But it’s all personal preference. Another excellent video, do enjoy it that you don’t pander to the companies and tell it like it is.

Could you review some new(ish) helmets under the price of 300$ and tell us something about how safe they are. I'd rather not to use half of my motorcycles cost to a helmet. Of course I value safety but 500$ is just too much
@benclimo4616 жыл бұрын
Look at sharp website. They are a UK goverment site that tests lots of helmets and rates them. You would be surprised by how many $500+ helmets that get beat by $150 helmet. I've got the HJC IS 17 which is 5 stars and is 150. Your paying $400 for the comfert and brand, which for me isn't worth it.

Thats a very dumb ideaology. "Ill skimp on comfort and quality and saftey because it costs almost as much as my bike" I dont care if they make helmets 1000 dollars across the board. Im still buying one. I wont let me being cheap be the reason i dont see my family again. Look up scorpion helmets. Theyre not cheap, but you get ALOT of helmet at a great proce.

A couple of comments, The lower vent is for overall venting, the vents above that are for anti-fog thus giving the rider more overall control on the RPHA ST70. While the noise canceling function is definitely "techy" fun, the shell and construction of this helmet are still lacking. Asking a premium helmet company focused on protection, design, features, comfort, to jump into the tech world without a leading partner is a big ask. It also goes without saying that the large helmet manufacturers also have the burden of a substantially larger liability target on their backs, therefore the partnering with Sena and other brands to build units to fit, but these are typically rider installed. Thanks for your reviews

Are these the "best" or just some new models worth mentioning? If I were in the market, I'd consider the HJC and Arai, but I'd be comparing them to a whole slew of others that are likely just as good and price competitive. There are plenty of helmets that may not be new models for 2018, but still qualify as being among the best available, whatever criteria you use for evaluation. FortNine, how about differentiating between the best of what's new and the best of what's available? It would make your videos both more informative and more credible. You've managed to make credibility in comparison to some of the competition one of your strengths up to now.

I wanted to find a full-face replacement for my Cycle Gear Sedici at a price around $400, so I checked out some lids. I tried the Arai Quantum-X (Felt like heaven, but 750 bones), GT Air (expensive and ugly as sin), RPHA 70-ST ( a real contender and in my price range), but I think I'm actually going to be going with the Shark Spartan. It's got great reviews and has the aggressive styling I like. Ryan, what do you think of the Shark Spartan?

Hi Ryan, I have bought many of the things you recommend but I don't agree on this one. The Arai Dt-x with ktm duke. I find the helmet totally loud. The top vent wisles over 50 k and hour so I find it to be a waste of money. Sad thet Arai after so many years did not manage to make a somewhat quiet helmet. My previous Shoei was twice as quiet. I like the Arai fit. Is there any Arai model which is quiet on naked bikes?
@AlexWishard6 жыл бұрын
As an FZ09 rider, I really like my Shoei RF-SR. More upright, passes Snell and Sharp ratings with flying colors, and is very quiet before any noise suppression is used. The only downsides in my opinion: sort of lame color options, and it gets quite hot the moment you stop moving. Otherwise it works perfectly for me. Best one I've had in quite a while.

A note on the HJC RPHA 70 ST: Ryan mentions it to be “...always louder than competitor’s...” Champion Helmets road test review showed the RPHA 70 to be a very quiet helmet at 97 Db, which matched the same total as the Shoei GT Air2. A typical decibel rating for a typical full-face helmet is around 102 Db.

For 2019, I would like to see a video where you take a Helmet manufacturer and compare their lineup bottom up and chow the differences as price goes up. Say HJC Full face from cheapest to most expensive. Maybe focus on the top 3~5 sellers.
