@@Unmethicated that's because is not made for road use, that helmet is a racing replica whitch means is made only for the track. Just because an helmet is beautiful and expensive doesn't mean that is good for every scenario. When you are on the track you don't use your helmet with the open visor, if you open the visor you are not racing and that is the reason for that visor mechanism. For road use go with the K6 S which was made for that purpose. Believe me you won't see any italian using a Pista GP RR on regular streets.

I also love my Hayden Reset Arai Corsair X helmets. One of the best looking graphics on a helmet of any manufacturer!! My 2nd favorite helmet of all time is my Shoei Rich Oliver replica!! Beautiful graphic with the P51 Mustang fighter plane. My Shoei Multitec came in handy during Summer rides in Arizona when I lived there. Easy to operate during gas stops and red light traffic stops.

I am a Shoei and Icon guy!! All the Helmets i have ae Icon. I never bought one over 700. Both Icons was around 600

They got different shaped helmets

AGV Pista GP RR

So i have a sedici primo 2. Lookig to upgrade. My budget is $400 . What do yall recommend? Ive been looking at KYT brand.

I like Shoei and still have one but even with all of the minor issues the RUROC helmets have they are still my favorite. The 2.0 had a lot of issues and felt cheap but the 4.0 the only issue I have is the visor doesn't seal all the way. Material wise its better than my Shoei and a lot lighter. More field of view as well. The Shockwave is decent but not worth $200. Be interesting to see the Cardo integration on the new EOX helmets.

So far i've owned the x14, x15, pista, and the r10. To me the R10 is a better fit version of the x15 but the vision and weight of the pista. It's also been quieter than the x15 and i can listen to music more clearly. And it kinda feels like a fishbowl feeling when you put it on from the pressure since it wants to cup under your jaw. But when it's actually on, it does remind me of the x15 but more comfortable. So far my favorite daily riding helmet thus far

It's crazy to me to see that the X-Fifteen is more expensive than the price in Japan, for that MARQUEZ MOTEGI 4 helmet, with tax in Japan costs 96,800 Yen which is about $621.71 (as of June 4th 2024) I guess it kinda makes sense, seeing as Shoei is manufactured in Japan so they probably don't charge an additional fee for distributers that are local vs the rest of the world. When i saw the prices of the KX 1 in Japan, they were significantly more than the X-Fifteen

For a shop to stock that many top tier helmets is simply AWESOME!!!! I have never been in a shop in years that has that many in stock of the top helmets!!! I gotta get down there to try on all brands!! What are the main differences between a "Race" or "Street" helmet?? I have worn Arai Corsair (RX7RR) for the last 30 years....have a LARGE collection of them due to the 4-5 year replacement rules...but everytime I try a different helmet, the interiors just seem cheap in comparison...except for Shoei...I did have an X-9 Russell that I LOVED but unfortunately crashed in.

What makes a track helmet better for track than street or why is that one helmet it better for both?

What a interesting man ...great attitude to life and work

My favourite helmets are 1. AGV K-5S (buttery smooth and quiet) 2. Scorpion R1 Air (best fit for me, super light, have both carbon and regular) 3. Sheoi RF-1400 ( great all round quality experience). 4. Sena Momentum Evo 2 (underated, best built in comms.). Not yet had an Arai - plan to get one still and expect it to be competitive. Middleweight Sport Bike Rider on street. Icon helmets are fun if noisy. Shark and HJC solid entry to mid range - slight edge to Shark for me. Biggest disappointment for me has been Nolan.

I have the Alpinestars SR10 and love it!!!!

My first helmet was a HJC didn’t like it. went and got myself a shoei rf-sr great helmet quiet. Just bought a scorpion today took it for a ride today, lighter than my shoei and just barely slightly more loud than my shoei but, the fit is actually better. My face got fatter over the winter so I had to look for a new helmet cause pads for my shoei were on back order and I got the scorpion for 130 😊

Bell Qualifier DLX with MIPS tech is a great helmet.

The Pista is popular for a reason. It’s light, it’s effortless in the wind, disappears, you can tailor fit the interior to your head. It arguably looks the best competing w the R10. It’s only negative is that it’s noisy, but most are and it’s a race helmet. People also complain the visor doesn’t stay open. But it’s a race helmet, you don’t race w a visor up and it stays open up to about 25mph then you can shut it without using your hands which for me is a huge plus. I like the Shoie X15 as well. Nice vid.

Peco is wearing a Suomy and Marc wears Shoei and most people dgaf...they buy the Pista because it really is a great helmet and really does look good. You don't think it's worth the price or that it looks good, don't buy it, get an Icon or KYT, but the sales don't lie and it's popularity speaks for itself, not your comparison to a KX1...

My first helmet was a Shark, I crashed my first bike and sold that helmet (no damage to the helmet for those wondering.) When I went to buy my second helmet, I was going to buy another Shark but the guy at the store was like "those are crap...get an Arai!". I never knew the reason why Arai was shaped the way they are. I ended up buying a Arai Profile-V. It was a super comfortable helmet. I crashed in it twice, the second time my head slid along the ground. It did its job! =D. Then I bought a Pista GP RR 'Iridium' and I got the Red visor. It looked great and I got ALOT of positive comments. When I first got it though, it pinched the side of my head/ear, so I compressed the foam. Probably not meant to do that but it worked! Haha. If I had my time again, my advice to any new rider is to save and get a top of the line helmet. You only get one brain.

I'd go with HJC RPHA 1. Price/performance ratio is beyond great, its also a MotoGP helmet as well.

My AGV K6 just fits wayyyyy too good. Would love to find a Shoei or Arai that fits great one day though

Shoei always best honestly. I love my HJC and AGV but shoei has the best fitment and hardly wind noise. HJC is best for first timers not too pricey for overall but shoei is bit pricey but man they best overall. AGV best looking helmet ever. ARAI best safety not matter what. Also with Arai to add on and shoei they have different factories to double check the helmet so they don't get complacent with just throwing out helmets to the public. They have 2 different people to sign the helmets to check them which is awesome.

With my noggin, Arai best visibility in the tuck position over my pista rr. Pista is also loud AF

Arai needs to get onboard with a transition visor! I ride day and night and hate switching visors, so I went with a Shoei!

I can not stress this enough… Shoei X15 saved my head and life. Genuinely feel like my Arai Regent-X, Shoei RF-1200, or Sedici Strada II would have worked anywhere near as good in my wreck. Sucks I wrecked but I’m glad I was wearing my X15… but that’s just from my experience

Arai No.1 and then Shoei, Pista best looking heltems and Shark good allround helmets. I have Scorpion R1 and old X lite X802 which i like way more, but R1 is cheaper.

No love for Nolan/X-Lite probably because no US distributors, but I love my new X804RR. The A-Stars R10 will take the crown as the new influencer lid lol.

My profile pic is Scorpion...but AGV is my choice 🥇

For me for starters, the helmet has to be made in its own manufacturing plant, and if I can help it likely not Chinese. Exception would be LS2 for the price point. however, I still mostly go to my shoei

Helmet comfort is so dependant on head shape and pressure points. I tried a bunch of different brands at a local shop (shoutout to 613motorsports) and HJC was the only lid that didn’t cause discomfort after 5 minutes ( when wearing the proper size). I went in looking at a Shoei or AGV but not matter what HJC was the only comfortable helmet. The Rpha 11 met my price point and had some cool colourways and colabs. Have someone measure your head correctly, try out a few brands and try moving your head up/down and left/right once fitted. You shouldn’t be able to slide around. Your only have one noggin so if you’re going to splurge on gear, this is the one.
