Unboxing Shoei X 15 in Matte Black

[@scottsspeedtriplechannel]

I think the two little red levers are there for a quick shield tension adjustment, like the RF14. If I remember correctly the older models shield tension could be adjusted but required two small screws to be loosened and then retightened.

[@MonoMoto]

That spot used to be used for tension adjustments. But this changed. Double checked for you the manual to not share any wrong information and it is a lock (at 4:57 you can see the locking happening as it blocks the release plate). This to avoid the visor flying off in hard crashes we see sometimes in MotoGP and wSBK.

[@scottsspeedtriplechannel]

@@MonoMoto So it locks the visor plates? It can't be changed once the visor is down.

[@scottsspeedtriplechannel]

I see now. Once the shield is on, you lock the spring loaded switch and it locks the shield. Interestin

[@julugs2000]

the silver visor looks so clean.

[@MonoMoto]

yeah - I love it on a black helmet.

[@BrianDias007]

Great review, Ive just ordered the exact one here in the UK but it is called in the UK X-SPR PRO, this will be my first helmet in 30 plus years

[@MonoMoto]

wow that's gonna be a quantum leap in helmet technology 30 years and the most cutting edge helmet on the market - hope you'll enjoy it ! ( This was by no means a review just a quick intro - will do a full detailed review once I got some more experience with the helmet )

[@BrianDias007]

@@MonoMoto Yes it is a big leap, I'm a bit worried as I need to get several more helmets for different occasions and different bikes I am going to obtain and they obviously will not match up to the standard of this one.

[@MonoMoto]

@@BrianDias007 well this one is amazing on track and good for road too. I also have a full review of the rf 1400 shoei ( my Foto street / touring helmet. But hey more helmets and bikes = more fun times . Good problem to have hehe 😉

[@gosudream4018]

I have the X-14... May have to upgrade

[@MonoMoto]

Every time there is something safer I upgrade - Trying to retain on what's left of my brain ;)

[@mek9262]

From upkeep and finish durability wise, which one would you go for Matt Black or Gloss Black?

[@MonoMoto]

I had a few matt and glossy Shoei helmets and always find it easier to keep the matt ones clean looking. Durability wise, if you treat them well I had no shoei finish to fail on me even after 5+ years.

[@jesusmartinez2233]

I'm sorry I didn't hear correctly when you were talking about the silver lens, did you say the RF1400 Lens fits this X15? Thank you!

[@MonoMoto]

Yes Sir ! RF 1200 and X14 shared the visor and so do RF 1400 and X 15 - Made a video about the CWR F2 visors here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmaQhmyCftyYr7c

[@kevinirvine8038]

Does the matte color show finger prints? Thank you

[@MonoMoto]

Matte surfaces always are touchy when it comes to oily stains like from fingers - it’s not bad imho

[@rhythmrain5232]

Good vid thanks bro

[@tomquaker]

nice!

[@rouxhh]

Is the shoei safer than the Arai rx7v?

[@MonoMoto]

That's impossible for me to quantify. They do have the same ECE certification, but only a lab could tell you which one protects more in what kind of scenarios. They are both great race helmets.

[@ThemadViking793]

In terms of safety, they're equal.

[@DanielVazquez]

What’s your head size in cm?

[@MonoMoto]

Hehe well let’s say I fit nicely into the measurements for a size large

[@eprohoda]

good ,:)
