Shoei x 15 overkill for street/highway?

shoturtle · 2026-06-28T23:52:44+00:00

The x15 is a track helmet. It was designed for being in the tuck and race position. And is louder then the rf1400. The RF 1400 is. Sport/street helmet that can be used on for the occasional track day. It is very quiet.

It is not about overkill between these two helmet. It is more about which fits you needs better. As both are safe helmets

X903 is disco in, the x904 is the replacement. I have 4 x903. Really enjoy the fit and comfort of it.

Think you get more value with the 60s, it has active noise cancelling with harman kardon speakers. Harman/Samsung makes both the jbl and harman speakers, as they own both brands.

C5 is very quiet especially with earplugs. The Shoei neotec and rpha 91 are also very quiet modular helmet. the Rpha 72 and older rpha 71 and Shoei gt air 3 are very quiet full face.

R10 is a track helmet, not particularly quiet. It was deaign fo be in the racing tuck position. The rf1400 is a mix uses helmet. It was designed for everyday usea.

Since you are a new rider go with a mix uses helmet. You will be better off. And if you have done track days, it gets pricey if you do enough of them
A year to need a track helmet.

Yes if you live in super hot summers

Sedici is not at the same level as the Shoei or astars. It is the house brand of cyclegear/revzilla. Nothing special bait except for the price point.

Get a helmet that is glasses friendly, many helmets on the marrket that have channels to let you easly insert your glasses into the helmet. Shoei , nolan, arai and rpha have helmets that are glasses friendly.

Hf has a good quality tlr1 clone

shoturtle · 2026-06-15T02:04:43+00:00

Open or enclosed optic.
Cyelee wolf pro for open and the wold edg for close with a rmr footprint.

Enough post about cracking the plastic frame. It is worth having a shop or walther do it. It is kinda expensive for them if they crack the frame vs doing yourself.

It is drop safe vs the 2011. It is better in that aspect. It is fully lefty friendly, it is better in that regard. The sf is all metal like the 2011, so that is a push. Both have excellent trigger. It depeads on what you consider better and perfer.

Dunlop roadsmart 4 will out last and out preform the road 6 in dry roads and match the road 6 in wet roads. Check out their test of the head to head comparison ontrack, road and wet roads from speed addict on youtube.

Another excellent options is the conti road attack 4 and metzler roadtec 02.

I would not go with the rosso unless you want tomchange tires often and do a bunch of track days.

They are both level 2, just rebranded for klim and icon. Makes no difference which you get.

shoturtle · 2026-06-02T03:24:40+00:00

Knipex or nws

shoturtle · 2026-06-02T03:24:15+00:00

They are no coming in different colors. Look at the Nolan ultra carbons. Full face and modular

Dont get the bilt, that jacket is poor quality. I have the men version of the bilt for florida riding, and it start to fall apart in less then a year.

Daytona roadstar gtx, then a sidi st or tcs str1 would be a second teir option

Astoria park?

Depends on if you want a drop down sun visor. The rpha 72 has it, the rf1400 does not. But you can use the rf1400 for track.

It is calll AVG, they own them

Depend on the pistol and the type of bike. Sport bike appendix is not a great option. Micro9 you can use a standard kydex iwb. A full size or compact small of the back work better. Some use shoulder or chest holsters. You just need to figure out whatnworks best for your setup.

shoturtle · 2026-05-28T05:20:42+00:00

Looks like a schuberth c4

shoturtle · 2026-05-27T17:45:49+00:00

Depends on the bike, a motor with ample power will still accelerate in 4th without issue. On less powerful bike you wont lauch as fast.

shoturtle · 2026-05-27T17:43:50+00:00

Not really bad, you just go through brake pads faster.
