New Helmet

[vaa]

So I'm in need of a new helmet. I've had 2 Arai Quantum F's that have served me well. Unfortunately the new Arai helmets that I've tried weren't as good a fit for some reason. I tried a Shoei X-Eleven and it fit pretty good. It's been discontinued and I've been looking at a few online reviews of the X-Twelve and it seems like the X-Eleven has a little better venting.

I'm really intrigued by the new Bell Star. I haven't seen them in stores to try one. Does anyone know if they are on display anywhere?

The other one I'm considering is the HJC Carbon. That has also been disco'd. I'm sure that I can find a regular FS-15 to try on for fit, I just haven't looked for an HJC ever.

What are you guys wearing these days and do you have any recommendations?


Thanks

Try on as many as you can. Everyone's head is different. My favorite helmet might be a torture device for you.

Shoei.
Shark might be your style, try some of them on too.

SUOMY. Our team is using them this year and everyone found a fit that worked well. Price is right too with nice sales just about everywhere.

hmm....seems odd to me. Did you head change? Or did Arai change the shape of their helmets???

huh, thought you fell off the map.


From what I've heard the quantum f was replaced by the vector, Victor.
