Best Full Face Motorcycle Helmets of 2017 

bought HJC CL-17 solid helmet from F9 and couldn't be happier. F9 is an awesome company, helpful, good prices, excellent return policy... just top notch. Thank you F9, wish we have more businesses like this in Canada

Hiya, Ryan--Thanks so much for your personal responses to my questions . I really appreciate it. I ended going with a Shoie full face that I really like and has all the features you emphasized. Thanks again, Man.. You are F'ing AWESOME!

FortNine I Have to say, you make one of THE beast motorcycle videos on youtube. Big thanks and appreciation to your work!

I love how you say, "Bell can charge ya $50 for the bag... and they DO!" Awesome... Anyhow, you sold me on the Race Star Café Racer helmet, it's on the way from Revzilla. I think it's gorgeous too. Thank you very much for the video, it helped me decide.

And right when my helmet foam started squeaking, F9 puts up a damn fine helmet video...too bad my wallet is a little bit "skinny" , if y'know what i mean..

Dude I just love how thurogh your videos are. Excellent job reviewing and getting that information out.

Everyday I look to my recommended list for a new video from Fortnine, today I've become a happy man

I can't wait for march to come so I can get the black & green RPHA 11 from you guys when it's in stock again ! By the way: I have to say you guys are doing an awesome job with these videos. Really entertaining, nicely filmed and full of useful information.

Wanna throw down some appreciation, your videos are not only informative but funny too. Bought the HJC RPHA 11 because of your strait forward info, as I live in Arizona I can vouch for this helmets excellent air flow for those 100 plus days.

The turning chair to showcase the helmet 360, is HILARIOUS but GENIUS at the same time...

By far, the best motorcycling channel on RU-vid right now. NO faffing around, just straight dope

One of the best motorcycle guide chanel on RU-vid.

Awesome review as usual Ryan, discovered your channel by mistake a few weeks ago when shopping for backpacks. Not only i'm in Canada too, you just have a new subscriber ! I tend to always go to Revzilla when looking for gear reviews, but now you guys are a game changer !

Dude this is the first video of yours I have seen, and it's great. I subscribed. Your edits are awesome, and your information is so right on.

Annoying that there is only one like button. One of the best reviewers on RU-vid....along with Anthony!

Videos are really good Solid mix of Info and examples and the edits are great

That Arai Defiant naked helmet has peaked my interest.

Dude... Your videos are the best. There is something to be said about informative videos in an entertaining format... I am yet to find a video of your I don't like... Trust me, I'm looking hahaha. 👌🏾👍🏾 keep up the premium work my friend... No one compares

Just giving you all a heads up in case the issue hasn't been fixed yet. The magnetic snap on my Bell Vortex fell off. Hopefully it's better on the more expensive helmets.

very nice video, like always. I hope you soon get to smash and burn some stuff again for your new crash test series :D keep up the good work :)

Thanks for this awesome video. I'm still very new at riding and I just got a Yamaha MT07 with a Shoei GT Air helmet. I was wondering are there any downsides to wearing a sports helmet like the HJC Rpha 11 on a naked bike? Can't help to admire those Star wars designs to be honest.

good review dude, you got a talent for this

best review i have ever seen. great job bro..

Super thanks for awesome video :) Also for showing us the cheaper yest still safe alternatives in case we decide to switch to some other types of motorcycles :)

Perfectly happy with my base model Star. :)

Very nice video.. waiting for more motorcycle reviews

Watching videos about bike gear, getting best laughs ... super videos!

Have you ever thought about doing a video for the best spots on a helmet to mount different cameras and/or best helmets for camera mounting?

I don't comment very much but I just had to after this video... brilliant job, very well done 👍

do a best commuter helmets for 2017?

good review, man. just subscribed.

Thanks for putting up with all the spinning!

Another awesome video, thanks!

I just got the HJC RPHA 11 Joker what an amazing helmet !! Very light amazing air flow but above all huge head turner

quality reviews..nice! Subbed.

You are very good at what you do, you're passionate and enthusiastic that makes me wanna listen to you, I don't even own a motorcycle lmao

I enjoy Your content quite much. Thank You for all the hard work. I do have a question, if You don't mind: Would the Bell Race Star be viable for cruising? Thank You again. Cheers!

Short and sweet. Very informative. But!!!! Is there a helmet just as quiet as the RF1200? Love the vids man. 👍🏻

Favourite channel on youtube.

I have my eye on HJC RPHA 11pro helmet since Your holiday gift guide for sport motorcycles video, but im afraid to order it without actually trying it on myself... Waiting it to arrive to the shops where i live

I've had 7 concussions and the 6D brand is the best for your head. The 6D ats-1 helmet is the best

I was going to ask, when did you upgrade to the 800GSA? Congratulations!

Thank you. Fantastic video and entertaining .

Fortnine your channel is the best!! You keep shit funny!lmfao

Great video mate keep it up i love this kind of content even though i know i can't afford it HAHA

I just learnt a couple of features of my Arai Rebel, thanks.

Hi, can you say anything about the hjc rpha 70? There isn't a lot of info or tests out there. The specs sound good though

Hello, any plans to include Shark helmets in the future reviews? I've seen you don't have that brand in the shop either and they do have some pretty great helmets.

Hello, great reviews btw. Would you reccomend the bell race star helmet for my aprilia tuono super naked? its my daily commute but also my toy at the weekends. thanks

30 years ago I wore Arai, mostly because they fit me best out of the big three at the time,(Arai, Bell, and Shoei.) The Defiant is at the top of my list, as I get back into riding after to long away. Can't find a Shoei or Bell that I'm comfortable with. the HJC models I've tried that fit well, have drop downs, (that fail according to riders I've talked to.) Icon Airframe fits well, but it's just missing something I can't put finger on. So more than likely it'll be an Arai Defiant Pro Cruise in Hi-Viz Yellow I buy as daily wear. My advice to anyone looking for a new lid. Try several, find the one you're most comfortable in. If it's not comfortable, you'll find it distracting, which makes you less safe as a rider. If your helmet is uncomfortable, you won't want to wear it, which means you won't ride as much. We all lose then, (as that usually means less attention to issues affecting riders.)

Hey! That pin lock on that Icon is simple but very effective!

O capacete da Bell é muito bonito e parece muito confortável também. Aqui no Brasil não tem, infelizmente.

Please do more motorcycle reviews! They're one of my favorites. Yamaha MT/FZ 10 please??

Added the Arai Siqnet Q Pro to my Shoei Rf1200 w/ photochromic shield., and Shoei Air. Siqnet Q is the quietest. Very super comfie. Visor has grown on me. Shoei is the lightest and has a better chin curtain. Used more in cold weather. Shoei Air has a drop down visor. Used more in hot weather with just the shade down at low speeds. All have pinlock. Shoeis keep my glasses in place better. Arai has better speaker ports since they are integrated into the ear liner. My 2 cents after 10 months. About the same price paid $379-$390. Thanks Doug

I have just seen that all the Bell helmets do not use pinlock. I live in rainy Hamburg therefore visors fog up real fast, so how are these visors compared to pinlock equipped visors?

Hey, i enjoy your videos a lot. Whats your opinion on shark spartan carbon??? Will you have a video review for that helmet?? And in comparison with rpha11??

I would've put the Shark Spartan for the Nake bike helmet of the year... can't wait to get my hands on one of these for my updated helmet

hey bro!! do you have any gear/trips/tricks videos ons cruisers and long range riding (like the whole Harley Davidson scene stuff).

The icon alliance seemed like it fit you perfectly.

What about the bell rs-1 got my one 2weeks ago and love it ece and high sharp rating

Great video! @FortNine how does the rpha do for neutral position people on naked bikes?

Hey Ryan i saw your video and still can't decide between the shoei NXR and the HJC rpha 11. Any advice? Ride safe Peace🤘🏼✌🏼

I have a bell that has the magnet snap and it's not great. It would come off and slap the side of your helmet. I know the Shoei button seems archaic but it works every time and doesn't come loose.

funny. I was looking at the Icon last night and thinking it was to good to be true. Thanks for the advice

Just got my Shoei x14. Best helmet I've ever owned.

Thinking about picking up an Alliance dark. Just a nice clean look for some cheap fun.

Currently have an RF1200 (NXR) but it pales in comparison to my previous Schuberth SR1. I had to give up the SR1 as I'm a long oval anyway, can you advise what alternative to the SR1 you would recommend for long oval?

Well done! I was duped into a sedici strada... would love to see your opinion of that $200-300 helmet

Would love to see a schuberth c4 review. When the helmet comes out.

I was wonder what your thoughts were on the Icon Airmada helmet? Was looking into getting one.

Everyone says order a size larger with the RPHA11. I’m a medium 57cm in both the IS17 and the RPHA11. Yeah the RPHA is slightly more snug but that snug reduces wind noise and frankly feels better and more safe. My RPHA11 is by no means an uncomfortable squeeze in the same size. Glad I didn’t order a size larger. Definitely go try them on.

HJC RPHA 11 Pro user here - Trust me on this one guys, just put this lid on and you'll feel the difference. It's snug, light and the peripherals are amazing. I'm a tall dude and I've had issues with some helmets in tuck position but this one... holy shit it's like driving one of those cars with a transparent roof. Give it a try, it's amazing. Wind noise doesn't bother me, I have ear plugs + music

I had the alliance gt and it's the noisiest helmet I've ever had. Ryan you should do a review on Riöt full carbon fiber helmet for under $400, worth a look at anyways. Great video Fortnine, see you in the next one 😀

Ryan, now that it's 9 months later, do you still recommend the icon alliance gt for that price range? I'm now in the market for a new helmet, preferably with a sun shield, but my pockets are shallow. Any others you recommend in that price range? Keep up the good work.

The bell race star is actually 1250gm, it marketed at this weight too in the UK but in the US they list it at 1400gms? I weighed mine and it weighed 1256grams

I have a rpha 11 and i love it!

mind blowing review!!!!!!!

awesome review

What do you suggest a full face and modular helmet for scooter rider?

just bought an icon watchkeeper 'cause it's soooooo cool!

Thanks for sharing... good work, information, humor ... I ride a Naked 1986 Yamaha Radian YX600 and I have owned a Seven Zero Seven Vendetta since 2008 Paid $123.00 off the discount rack.. Nice helmet and it is now starting to fall apart vent sliders, broke screw on back plate, replacement parts are no existent!! wished I could find another. Think the HJC is looking to be a good fit :)

Ryan you god, just looking for this!

I couldn't agree more with your review, especially of the Bell Race Star. I had the first gen Star, and although it was a great helmet, the fit wasn't great and it was pretty loud. Flash forward to Gen2 and WOW, they have addressed those issues and more. The new models fit like a glove and they're quiet and pretty light. Ventilation is good too. I compare the Bell Race Star to my Shoei RF1200, but to be honest, the Bell fits better, has better visibility and ventilation. It also costs a bit less. I think I'm sticking with Bell for a while

Hey FortNine , any way you can manage to do a review of the ruroc atlas sport? I really want that helmet to be good.

I have a question should i spend my money on the Scorpion EXO-T1200 or get the icon

Nice video Don't get excited over the Ace Cafe though. It's just that...a greasy spoon cafe that does so so food and cups of tea. Take a look at their website - no menus on it that I can see. It's in a really seedy/grubby part of London and it's one saving grace are the number of bike meets there throughout the year.

I love my Arai Defiant Pro-Cruise, works great on my Suzuki GSXS1000

wat the best fullface helmets for Cruisers. one that has access to install speakers and light with little wind noise and wide view. I have a AGV K5

Does the yellow Arai really sit as strange on the head as you wore it in the shot on the left at 1:49? It looks like you didn't pull the chin bar as far down as you should have.

your awsome man. do you buy all these or just get sent them for testing?

Have you had a chance to compare the Bell Race Star Speed Café and RSD designs? I'm set on the race star but I am torn between the 2 graphics. Your vid is the first I've actually been able to see the Ace Café graphic and I'm curious what that brushed aluminum looking portion of the RSD will look like in real life.

Can I use the rpha 11 for straight up riding in a harley? How will that affect ventilation? You could make a video for best cruiser helmets... Congratulations on the channel.

I love my RPHA11 and I kind of expected it to show up in this video

Shark race r pro is awesome.

4:43 how many eyes do u have

Be sure to mention whether or not the liners are removable for washing.

I like the shoei nxr its quiet.great view and only weighs 1330grms plus it looks cool. I got the parameter with the black and white digital camo

i have the the icon alliance dark and i hate it. The visor gets stuck because of the lock. The chin vent broke and stays closed permanently

@Fortnine what are your opinions on the Shoe RF-1200 vs RPHA 11 for street ?

PLEASE SUPPLY PERIPHERAL VISION STATISTICS ON ALL YOUR FULL FACE TESTS! VISION IS JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ! You Are Doing A Good Job, Thank You !
