Motorcycle helmet recommendations

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

What are people wearing for helmets? My Icon Airframe Pro and Variant are aging out, and my Ruroc Atlas 1.0 is 3 years old already, so I'm debating between a 4.0, or getting another Airframe Pro.

I have an AGV rossi helmet. I'm basically riding a scooter now. CB500f Good nuff.

I bought two new helmets this season.

A Hedon Heroine, for looking fine and getting the bishes.



And an AGV K6 for touring comfort and to install a cardo, etc.

I have an AGV of some type (few years old), that's super comfy, not super quiet. Really like it.

Would recommend Shoei RF1400; apparently it's even quieter than the previous one, not sure how they managed that. It's what I'd buy if I was getting another one.

Me too, but Shoei doesn't fit my head. I don't understand people discussing quiet helmets. You should have ear protection in at all times.

The Hedon looks really nice but a bit too pricey for me. I had an AGV X3000 last year that I had to send back for warranty and now have a credit note with Fortnine. I'm waiting for them to get more XL Bell Bullit's in stock as they are a bit more budget friendly

I do. But if it's quieter in the helmet, I can blast the music less to hear over the wind and through the ear plugs.

I ride with IEMs in some helmets

I have a Scorpion helmet but I guess it's a bit old because I don't remember it being was expensive as theirs today.
It's a perfectly fine unit. I've never ridden with a Shoei or Arai but they better be completely silent to justify their ludicrous prices.
That, or give you head...

Helmets are pretty much emotional investments.

Having said that, I would focus on getting on that is exe 22.06 compliant. It's the new standard and seems like a decent upgrade.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

I'd always choose an ECE compliant helmet over a Snell rated helmet.
I've previously had a Shoei 1100, and it was a great helmet, until it aged out. Icon Airframe Pro and Icon Variants until they aged out, and a Ruroc Atlas 1.0, which is nice, but had growing pains (like no pin for the visor to keep it closed).

I just want something that looks decent (as a sportbike helmet), I can wear wired headphones in (since my wireless buds fall out), or use an in-helmet system (or Ruroc's built in one), and is $700 or less. If it's quiet inside, that's an added bonus.

Im pretty partial to the Simpson bandit helmet or the m30..

My birthday is coming up and my wife wanted some ideas. I told her the usual - 'I dunno, I don't want anything.'

She says, 'there must be something that you want to buy coming up'

I had beyond open and I saw this thread.

'Hmmmm, a new motorcycle helmet would be nice.' hahaha

Guess who's getting a new ROOF Boxxer? A slight improvement on the old Boxer V8 design I got in 2014.

You are getting one of these?

Snell and ECE are both pretty decent. I personally stay away from the strictly DOT certified helmets cause, although they are ok, their testings are not as thorough and just dont offer the same protection. You only have 1 head after all

Both Snell and DOT are not useful. The only standard you should be using is ECE

I dont remember the model of helmet, but Shoei is the way to go. I've had AGV, icon, HJC,and some other ones and Shoei was the best of all of them.

I saw this video as well when it was posted, but I knew before that, that snell is outdated and more dangerous than ECE.

[OTown]

I stand corrected. When I bought my first helmet, Snell was allegedly the gold standard. My newer HJC bought last year is ECE.
