I was planning to get an EX-Zero for the summer season, but i'm having second thoughts now. I ride a ducati monster s2r and i'm not quite sure if the EX-Zero is a good choise for its riding position. Does the Glamster have a higher brow than the EX-Zero?
@UrbanRiderlondon4 жыл бұрын
We don't currently have the new Arai to show you this comparison, but compared to the rest of our range the Glamster is very obvious in the difference in sizing. The Ex- Zero compared to the Glamster as far as brow height is basically identical, being an obvious different design to the aperture in the Glamster is larger. - UR

Hi Andrew, which helmet would you recommend for the daily commute - the Neo Rapide or Glamster?
@UrbanRiderlondon4 жыл бұрын
Hi Joachim, I'm not going to lie, I have not ridden with the Neo Rapide but I have tried it. The Arai felt substantially bulkier which reflects the extra weight. As I mentioned in the video, based on the cost being lower, the shell being slimmer profile and my preference of the looks of the Glamster, it would be an easy choice for me. I guess if you prefer the Rapide Neo looks or want the extra bulk for reassurance / possible sound proofing then go for the Arai.

Fitment is standard Shoei - accurate and true to size with an intermediate / oval shape. However, it's almost universal in the way it fits both oval and rounded head shapes. In terms of real life feel, there wasn't much to comment on other than the fact it is so compact and lightweight and extremely comfortable to wear.
