    Any opinions on a great helmet? I don't care about price.

    I am looking for noise, comfort, ventilation and quality.

    I had a Suomy and an Arai as a back up.

    I am looking into the newest shoei but am open to anything.

    Any opinions welcome.

    Oh ya, any ideas on where to get a good deal?

    Thanks,

    Russell:rock:

    Wore Arai for decades after Bell dropped out then Simpson quit MCs. Four years ago I bought a Shoei. Quietest, most comfortable helmet I've had in 40-odd years of riding and racing.

    I will have to try the new Bells next year though.

    Been using Arai RX-7's. Just recieved two new Shoei X-12's at a great price for this season. Have to say I don't miss the Arai's as much as I thought I would. And Arai's are expensive as hell and if you're not in the AMA the racer support sucks.
     
  8. Get one that lets you corner low.

    I just picked up an Arai Profile for like $300 thru Kneedraggers.......if it's as good as my current Arai Corsair....from like 2004, I'll be a happy camper.

    Scorpion for me! Not because of price, because of fit and finish.

    The new Shoei RF has much better ventilation than the older.

    Chris13 Which lever is the Brake?

    One that was made in the last 5 years, and has a Snell or ECE standard. It is tough getting those German helmets with the spike on top through tech.

    I'm sure other companies have multiple shapes, but when I tried on the Arai profile, that's the first time I've fit into a medium instead of a large. That's all I've worn for close to 3 years now.
