Finally got to try a Shoei helmet and while I don't think the Shoei Hornet X2 is perfect, it definitely excels in some areas that my other helmets don't. Sorry for the sound quality (the mic was practically in my mouth); I hope I'll get to try out some more gear in the future!
Thanks to LeatherUp.com for giving me this helmet to review! You can get the helmet here: www.leatherup.c...

That front shot at 6:07 looks like your smiling (because of the vent). I'm going to move forward with this video assuming that's your face and your smiling.

Walter! I took my peak off and had the same hole exposed, i found taking a foam ear-plug and stickin it in there and triming the rest off the top works great.

You will not be disappointed with the pin-lock system. I've used it for a while now. It's fantastic. I have intentionally tried to get it to fog up during the winter or cold mornings/nights. It will not fog!

spot on with the peak. they were designed to be behind either a tall touring screen or an adventure screen, which tend to be short and the position is still upright. the same goes for the icon variant, but everyone who wears those helmets just seem to either not care and deal with it, or like you pull it off completely haha
@Bandit-Darville
@Bandit-Darville 8 лет назад
Very informative and honest review. Not being able to mount the camera on top would actually be a no-go for me but then again, i cannot afford a helmet in that pricerange. Looks great though!

For a guy who doesn't normally do reviews, I thought that was a pretty good rundown of the pros and cons of a helmet.
@MuleOnWheels
@MuleOnWheels 8 лет назад
I've had this helmet since it was released and it's the most comfortable helmet I've owned. It's the first peak helmet I've owned, and I'm also not a fan of it over 55mph. Under 55, it's fine but at 55, that's when the pulling occurs.

The audio is better on your other helmet. I don't know if that can be fixed with better mic placement but I figured you'd want to know.

If you (or anyone for that matter) gets the chance, do try an LS2 FT2, I've just bought one and they are the best value for money. Two visors, inflatable pads, and good ventilation, you'd love it.

Love my Shoei Hornet DS. I actually have a dual sport & an adventure motorcycle. These types of helmets work much better for their intended use on those types of motorcycles. I have worn mine on an Alaska trip, 3 trips to Moab, 1 to Death Valley & 2 to Nevada. It does great in all conditions from well below 0 to above 100 degrees. I live in the Seattle Washington area, so those were all nice long rides for me.

If you haven't tried it yet, the chin skirt, to me, dampens a lot of outside air, and may help with the audio in Motovlogging? I notice it in my RF1200 on comms.

The lining will hold for a long time if its as good as the old shoei xr900. Bought my xr900 back in 2002 i think.. the lining came off last year after 8 years as a scooter helmet in bad winter conditions commuting to work in snow and rain. My AGV went loos after 2 years of summer use an that was a expensive helmet. (my helmets retires as scooter/commuting helmets during winter)

Yo Walter! I have always used Shoei helmets...but I just bought my first sportbike. I bought a Shoei GT-Air and bought the SENA kit specifically for that helmet. I also feel like the mic is damn near in my mouth. Do you feel the Shoei has a lot less clearance from the muzzle to your face than other brands? I have been considering getting an Icon dual-sport helmet which I see a lot of MV's use... I would be interested to hear your opinion!
@WALTERRIFIC
@WALTERRIFIC 8 лет назад
+Bronco75 This is the only Shoei helmet I've used and yes, compared to the other helmets I've owned, this one has the smallest amount of space between my mouth and the front of the helmet; the mic was practically in my mouth. I can't say this is the case for all Shoei helmets, though.
@TheCBGenesis
@TheCBGenesis 8 лет назад
+Bronco75 Hey bud, just some input from someone who has had the same kind of problem. I have a modular helmet and like alot of Shoei helmets I don't have alot of room in-front of my mouth. What I use instead of a Sena is a bluetooth called Uclear, which is actually boomless and has its microphones on the ear piece. I really recommend looking it up if you don't have much room for a mic in your helmet. They also link up to any other headset on the market.
@TheManicorn69
@TheManicorn69 8 лет назад
+Walterrific, TheCBGenesis Thanks for the info guys! Much appreciated. I will check out the Uclear option for sure!
@cody8007
@cody8007 8 лет назад
+Bronco75 Do not buy the Icon Variant (Dual Sport). Every motovlogger uses it for style points. It has terrible wind noise, pulls you really hard when you are doing highway riding, and isn't Snell certified (so you sacrifice safety).
@RamblinRoverMatt
@RamblinRoverMatt 8 лет назад
+WALTERRIFIC Thanks for the video(s)! I just got this helmet and took it for a quick ride tonight with my mic tucked near the cheek pad. (I have the lapel mic do it with Dan recommends in his motovlog tutorial) and the wind noise was horrible on the mic even though it was amazingly quiet on inside the helmet for me! With the shield closed even worse at anything over 10 mph :( I would deal with the mic in my mouth if it sounded as good as in your video at speed. I was wondering where you put yours.. Any tips? :) I ride a crf250l dual sport so i am upright but I had the vent closed and chin guard thing on.. I will go through some trial and error tests this weekend but figured I would ask first and maybe save me some time! Thanks again for the videos! Thoroughly entertaining :)

I was always a fan of SHOEI but they fucked up the XR1100 and now they stopped making helmets in 3XL. So I guess I have to look for other brands now.. :/ PS: Pinlock is great. Always thought it's useless, but it really helps when you're riding in the cold.

+Jekyll The jackass Craiglist -> Honda CBs, Kawasaki GPZs, Suzuki GS450, just a few, CBs are great variety, from 125 to 750 I belive, GPZ are 400, 500 and 900cc. They will be easy to work on as they are old Japanesse bike. If You want to do it with sports bike, just don't. It is too easy to ruin great bike with modifying it, just return it to its former glory (Older GSX-R, first SRADs etc.)
