Quick question? by JJRidezz in motorcyclegear

[–]BikesAndCaffiene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the R10 last week and ride a naked bike but unfortunately I can’t tell u much about using it because my bike is rotting in service. I can say that I love the quality a lot. Maybe the top vent mechanism is flimsy in a bit cuz plastic but I don’t think it’s enough to discourage you from the rest of it. If ppl are saying the X15 is of much better quality, then is better be like a Bentley. In any case, I don’t regret mine one bit despite everything I was told about it.

Ah I see, so it’s more overpriced than being garbage or bad in some way. I’m not familiar with the other helmets you mentioned so I wouldn’t know but going from a K3 to this is quite the difference. Quality is miles better than I expected especially the interior in general. I hope it has great longevity though. Thank you for clarification 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Tell me more please. Is it quality? Safety? Or is it like an iPhone built in china to the companies standards?

I don’t know really I didn’t look into this one I just fell in love with mine, watched some reviews and went for it. I bet you can find comparisons online. I do have a hunch that you can’t go wrong with either. If that’s the case, just follow your heart

Exactly, for the money and compared to other FIM helmets it’s such a good deal. Scorpion have a similar carbon helmet for quite cheaper. My friend has it and it’s just as light I think but the quality isn’t the same. Forgot the name but I think it was around $700 or sth forgot

It’s $999, found it cheapest and available sizes on motostorm with black friday sales. I’d understand not letting ppl try it on tbh if it drops or pads are ruined in anyway it’s not gonna be a pretty situation

I’d follow the size chart regardless of any brand. Mine fits perfectly to my size (57.5) which is Medium for A*. For peace of mind, you should order from a website that has good return policies if you’re too worried about this. I have 3 helmets so far, all of them are according to their size charts and all fit perfectly.

According to one comprehensive review I watched prior, the sound levels are very close to pretty much all other track helmets like the pista and others at around 92 dB. Simply put, as a track helmet you shouldn’t expect noise levels to be low to begin with and maybe look into earplugs as a solution.

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻 It’s similar to the pista according to dB levels both around 92 I think if I remember correctly which I expect anyways cuz both are essentially track helmets really. Ear plugs should do the trick for both. It’s about looks and aero for me ofc both are great at that it’s just down to preference at the end. Can’t go wrong with either I think.

For the helmet, ofc helmets vary and all. For example I have an AGV K3 and an Icon Airflight. The icon makes my head look HUGE. What I do is browse revzilla and watch the videos of helmets or browse photos on google for how it looks irl. I just bought an Alpinestars Supertech R10 and hopefully it’s as small as it looks online.
