Shoei Qwest helmet review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Steve Rose for 3000miles RRP: £369.99 Shoei’s replacement for its much loved Raid has been around a couple of years now. The Raid was one of my all time favourite helmets; comfy, quiet, efficient and very affordable. The Qwest does all the above but includes some of the developments trickling down from other…

X-Lite X402GT Helmet
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Neil Manson RRP: £299 I had my reservations about this lid when I first got it: The styling is unusual and it was to be the first time I’d worn a motorcycle helmet with a detachable chin guard. However, since using it for the past year it has grown on me significantly for…

Posted
by
RRP: £649.99 I’m new to Schuberth, but already I’m a big fan. I got this SR1 a few months back and have enjoyed its quality feel and great fit for a good few hundred miles to date. The ventilation is top notch and the visor mechanism is really easy to work. It’s noisy, but what else…

Reviewed by: Carli Ann Smith RRP: £469.99 This is my new lid from Shoei – the GT Air. It’s the first in the manufacturer’s range to feature an integrated sunvisor which offers 99% UV protection. Often with this ‘integrated’ items, they are a pain to try and open/close/move with your gloves on – but not…

Arai RX-7GP Takahashi helmet review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Bruce Wilson for 20,000+ miles RRP: 699.99 To be honest, I got this helmet more based on its looks than its specs. I’ve worn Arais for the past six years and never once have I questioned their performance. Maybe the visor changing system isn’t the smoothest of operations, but that aside, they really are awesome…

Shoei XR1100 review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Steve Rose for 50,000 miles RRP: £419.99 It’s my favourite helmet right now because it fits me the best and stays comfier for longer. The lining is still snug, all the vents still work (it’s like switching on the air-con when you flick ’em open) and the visor seal is still perfect after 50,000 miles. Shoei claims it’s…
