Hi and welcome to this great forum. I used to have an Arai Chaser V, but fancied a change and found the Shoei NXR really comfortable and not bulky. I have the one in the picture and I got the self tinting visor, which works really well. Great helmet!

 

Just had a look at these self tinting visors. £130 and not road legal?
Think I’ll stick with just swapping over visors.

 

I love the NXR! It's the most comfortable and lightest helmet I ever owned. It's very well ventilated too. I'm not too keen on their new designs though but I must say, that TC5 Philosopher does look classy!

 

Great helmets. I’m currently looking at the new Gt Air 2, but will look at this one as well.

 

Was a Arai fan for years, then they changed the design and i was hitting my nose on the visor !!!!

Plus there refusal to fit internal visors, made me also change to Shoei. Got a GT-Air. Great helmet, other than lack of ability to open visor a few mm (fixed that myself), but do find it quieter and better at keeping the rain out around the visor thsn he Arai's. Don't think I'll be going back to Arai.

 

Yep, had a transitions visor on mine when I came off my RC8 last year, face planted the floor then slid a while, that was that fooked! On the bright side, the NXR helmet had light scratches & still passes ACU race scrutineering

 

This was my favourite Shoei design, back on the XR900, James Haydon replica, really stood out!

 

Very happy with my Shoei Qwest

 

Hi,

How does the Shoei compare to the Arai for noise? I find my Chaser V quite noisy.

Cheers

 

I find the Shoei quieter and much it has better ventilation system for hot days.

 

Yes they are great helmets, currently have two at the moment.... a Valkyrie and a Terminus.

 

With out dout my favourite helmet the NXR .I will only buy the NXR it is that good

 

I've had the NXR Beaufighter for a while and just bought the GT Air 2 for touring as it has the integral sun visor....... great lids

 

Got a Shoei NXR also.

It’s a good fit which to me is the most important thing.

 

After reading this blog ,I thought Mmmm it is time I had another NXR .Just come back from the Sportsbikeshop ,Boston with a new Matt Black NXR .That is 2 NXR I have now .Brilliant ,twice the fun

 

Wow, have you got two heads then?
