Featured New Lid :-)

Thats funny!

 

Good looking pot!

 

It is a handsome looking lid dude, and like Privateer said it helps if you have a Shoei shaped head. I always hankered after an Arai but could never get a comfy fit, had a few Shoei’s and always liked them. Good choice.

 

I have a Shoei Neotech and it's definitely the most comfortable helmet I've owned, better than my Shark Evo.

 

Ive got same helmet as well and i agree shoei best ive used.Nice choice of colours.

 

GT Air is a great helmet, super comfy, great choice, nice colour scheme too, I like it.

 

Got to agree with your choice of helemt. Got mine a few months ago, love it....

I really wanted a bell helmet, mainly because of the safety rating, but tried their top £600 helmet and it felt horrible and course material inside. I also tried the Bullitt and I could move that about, leaving just the inner material stuck to my head securely, but the outer shell moved separate to it!
Since buying a new Thruxton R, I wanted something Retro. The main one I like is the Hedon Heroine Racer, but didn’t think it was quite worth the hefty £649 price tag! These are hand built, but they wanted an extra £100 just to fit different colour fixings from the Matt black to the gloss black.
The next one I’m going to check out, is the NEXX XG100R, relatively cheap at £269 I like the look of it, but as yet not checked he quality.

 

Tell me about it!
Went looking for one months ago and came away with nothing, got my new bike, so tried looking again over Christmas, thinking of the Hedon, but want it exactly how I’d like it for that high price and not paying extra, for no extra work to build it!

 

Had my GT-Air (SWMBO too) over 4 years now, wouldn't change it for anything else other than a colour change (still in Multistrada red). The visor's getting in need of replacement (or a good polish?) due to flare in bright sunlight (no rush there then ), otherwise still as good as new.

 

I love Shoei's, I have a "long" shaped head, and they fit me perfectly. Tried countless Arai's on, but don't fit my head shape. The one I have now is about 13 years old, (i know, i know), but I only wear it when going out for a decent ride, and its kept in a dark, cool place, in a bag. I wear a KBC to commute every day, (weather permitting). I have an Ukawa rep, and I had a Scott Russell rep before that, which I think is one of the best helmet designs ever.

 

I am disappointed with my gt-air.
It's nice and comfy and a good fit but it fogs up far too easily when closed in cool weather.

Also the visor adjustment needs looking at. I like it to be open just a crack (which helps reduce fogging) but it is currently way too wide on the first setting. I've had any number of mozzies, flies and one bee take a peek in my helmet through the gap.

I guess the supplied pinlock would fix the fogging but I know I would be distracted by it when it is inserted.

So my view is it's comfy but the ventilation isn't that good, especially when compared to my much cheaper Caberg and LS2 lids.

 

No, I've never fitted one but have never needed to either as the slightly opened visor always took care of any misting. I look at the thick rim around the edge of the pinlock and think it'll be shit ha ha. But I'll have a go at adjusting it and see how I get on.
I've just bought a nitro n2200 as a cheap replacement for my LS2. Only £47 for a 3 star Sharp rated helmet and straightaway it opens up just a crack to let the air circulate. If I can reposition the gt-air visor to do this, happy days
