Battle of the best retro helmet from Japan, the Arai Rapide Neo (aka Concept X) vs the Shoei Glamster. An honest unbiased review. You can get both helmet from shopmotoman.com/ *We are not sponsored by any store #araihelmet #shoeihelmet
You are 100% correct. I have the Glamster and the Arai, and the Arai Rapide is super-quiet in comparison. I barely wear the Glamster because of this. Also the Arai is more comfortable for me.
🇺🇸 Excellent reviews. I think the heaviness of the Arai can be subjective. I have a large neck and I don’t notice any heaviness during long rides. You are absolutely correct about the noise comparison, my Glamster is like a limousine for the head, whereas my rapide is like the limousine but with the windows open at 75mph! I wear earplugs with both. My LS2 helmets have both of them beat in comfort, weight and quietness. Thank you for the reviews. 👍
Guys can you confirm the models in your video? Are they the new Concept XE & Glamster 06? Both of those are ECE 22.06 but the models you say at the beginning are Concept X & Glamster, the old models, both of which are only ECE 22.05. I'd like to know exactly what you guys are comparing in the video as I'm deciding between one of these two helms (new versions) 🙂
@@onemorerev I know lol, but can you actually confirm in this video you're with the Concept XE and the Glamster 6? Because the Concept X and Glamster (models you mention in the video) are not ECE 22.06 certified.
Depends on where you buy it locally, some has ICC stickers. Though I have not been stopped yet for helmet check, most that will get checked are those that look questionable.
Thank you for this review. Can i confirm that the glamster can fit in the vespa primavera top box. I notice that you are riding a primavera. If it fits inside the top box, then I am getting the Shoei. Thanks.
Compared to my HJC V10, I had to wear earplugs on my Glamster, sobrang lakas ng wind noise and outside noise, and maybe because of the thinner/lighter shell, rinig na rinig ko mga exhaust ng jeep at other vehicles. Needs getting used to lalo kung galing sa HJC helmet.
@@onemorerev yup! The size, weight and the looks definetly makes up for it, minsan feeling ko alien ako because of the v10’s huge shell size.😅 one thing to note, the v10s are also on the same category as those 2 (classic/retro) maybe becuase it’s newer and follow latest standards 22.06 kaya bigger, thicker shell hence quieter
@@darkzsign i dont think all glamsters are 22.06 compliant, atleast the ones in asia, the ece 22.06 glamsters have bigger shell sizes from Medium up, and has reinforced double D ring straps, The one i got from tokyo with 02/24 mfg date is still 22.05👍🏻
