Riders, there's a mistake in the Noise Isolation graph at 3:39, where Shark is listed twice and Scorpion is missing. In this segment, Shark earned three stars, so they stay at the bottom. But Scorpion Actually earned four stars and ties with Shoei and LS2. Anyways, thanks for the feedback so far 💪
I’m blessed to say that I have 5 of the brands listed in this video. HJC, SHOEI, Arai, Scorpion and SHARK. I love all of them but not equally. My Arai is noisy and heavy as mentioned! My Scorpion can turn into an oven in the summer, which is why it’s my colder weather choice. All of the others I have absolutely no complaints about! I haven’t yet purchased an AGV because I refuse to sell a kidney in order to get one here in America! There’s 2 lower end brands I own that weren’t mentioned and they are awesome in my opinion. The MT and the Nolan brands are helmets that should get some attention in my opinion. Thank you so much for this outstanding video! 👏 👍🇺🇸
Thanks! Support like this means a lot. And thanks for telling us your experiences. Out of the brands you mentioned, which one would be your personal favorite? (If you had to choose)
Out of the helmets I own, my favorites are my SHOEI X15 and my Scorpion EXO-HX1. But, actually it’s very difficult for me to choose.Even my SHOEI Glamster and Arai Rapide are a toss up as my favorites. But please review the Nolan or just message me your opinion, thank you. 🇺🇸👍
Bought the HJC RPHA91 as a result of a previous vid on this channel, also have a Scorpion EXO for the flip over function when on my scooter which has a better screen than the bike. Great comparison as always.
Totally agree with the designation, HJC is awesome not only with simple things like the graphics but also with every aspect you mentioned. I recently bought the Rpha 71 and I have to tell you it is amazing, even if I put my earplugs I have to tell you the noise, which is one of the main aspects, is minimum. The vents really like it, especially on hot days wow, the comfort, I have to tell you everything this brand is great. I have to tell you I also used AGV, Shoei, and LS2, so I know a little bit. Regards from Costa Rica.
Got an hjc rpha 70 for 6 months and it is an amazing helmet. Confortable, designed for intercom, interior sun glasses, pinlock ready visor and pinlock included in the box, double ring fixing, lots of vents
I've only been riding for five years and have only owned two helmets, both by brands on this list. My first helmet was the Scorpion EXO AT-950, which, even as a first helmet, was terrible. It was heavy, noisy, aerodynamically terrible and had more than one QA issue that the company brushed off - told me to fix it myself or go without a helmet for four months/almost the entirety of the riding season here. I won't buy a Scorpion helmet again because of that experience. The helmet that replaced the Scorpion, and with which I have been very happy (mostly), is the Shoei RF-1400. It's significantly more refined, quiet, comfortable and high-quality. The only think I dislike about the Shoei is the shield mechanism which is terrible to use when trying to change out a smoke for clear or vice-versa. My experience with the RF-1400 had me going to an X-15 next, that is until Alpinestars released their Supertech R10 for $200 less than the Shoei X-15 (in my country, anyway).
bought my hjc because of this channel. #1 in ventilation and quietness with the built in sun visor at a better price than competetiors. just cannot go wrong
@@martinstabrey188 every helmet they test is what 85db or higher or 90db and higher. So they aren't quiet. But I'd rather pay $250 for an hjc that measures the lowest vs a $600-800 shoei that doesn't do any better on quietness
Should have added build quality as well, as that is a big factor with buying helmets as well. The hinge of a Shoei and Arai leagues above that of LS2 for example, and quality of finish, different types of roaming ect also matters on top of the criteria in the current tests
Appreciate the feedback. Our individual helmet reviews are constantly evolving and go in to much more detail than we are able to here. I'd recommend checking those out!
Zijn er accesoires voor een modulaire carbon LS2 zoals wangkussens waardoor die comfortabeler is, beter ventileert en windruis beter onderdrukt? Wat is potentieel de beste helm als je bepaalde onderdelen vervangt zoals dikkere pads? Hoe verhoud deze helm zich met een BMW helm?
Curious: compared to the expensive top,of the range lids, how do the6 compare to budget lids if crashes tested at 10% lower speeds. Is it safer to ride slower or choose to ride faster with a more expensive helmet? Where should you hang your safety? With hi tech, or careful riding?
You're right, good spot. Instead, the results should be as follow: Shark earned three stars, so they stay at the bottom. Scorpion actually earned four stars here, so they tie with Shoei and LS2.
This is the fastest way to know exactly what helmet you should get: 1. Determine the category of helmet you want (depends on lot's of personal preferences). Our video on this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KQy9S3mGTb8.htmlsi=oxzkx16ps8P6FRcx 2.

More ventilation channels internally mean the helmet is supported by less area meaning less comfort and more pressure point pain. You need to look at this. The neotech 2 excellent. Neotech 3 painful. E2 painful.
Good question. This comparison is based on our helmet testing results, however, our current testing pool of 22.06 Bell and Nolan helmets was too small to include them here.
Currently, our testing pool of Bell, Nolan and Alpinestars helmets is too small to include them here. One or two helmets to represent a brand makes for an unfair comparison. However, our road-test of the Alpinestars R10 is coming this sunday.
For anyone looking to buy a helmet, the tests conducted to provide the data in the video, while very useful, are somewhat limited. For instance ventilation, for the Scorpion Covert FX it looked like it would be mediocre at best from the tests. However, because it has grooves at the forehead, right next to the visor, when you open up the visor, the ventilation is excellent. Much better than any of my Shoeis (Neotec 2, GT Air 2, Neotec 3). The noise isolation is really dependent on the helmet fitting you properly. Also, they never mention if the helmet has any weird whistling at speed. Again, my covert fx is outperforming my shoeis in terms of noise, due to the helmet fitting me better. Weight is also relative. When you size up, some models will bulk up significantly more than others. In my opinion, champion helmets is doing a good job at providing data points to consider when purchasing a helmet, however, they are not enough.
best and only advice is to fit the helmets and feel what is most comfy. Head shape can be oval or round and its most important factor when you get a helmet.
Mehhh... not true. Every now and then we see this comment. Fit is one of the many factors. What's fit worth if it's brutally noisy, heavy, sweaty, weak visor, over priced, no features, weak shell, small field of view, fogging visor, choking closure and the many other factors that make for a good helmet. So no, there is a lot more to a helmet than oval/round.
