OsuMj Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 slick, i have an icon and the damn thing whistles from the wind sometimes how does the fit, ventilation, and price compare? I haven't done a lot of shopping for helmets since my original purchase, but i've been thinking about an upgrade too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-flores Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 This is #3 on my list of favorite helmets and I am jealous that you have it! But congrats, that thing is gorgeous and yeah I am never going to buy a cheap helmet again either. I used to race with a crappy $100 helmet then I bought an arai and I am never going back to the cheap side. the extra $500 is worth it!!!

I haven't done a lot of shopping for helmets since my original purchase, but i've been thinking about an upgrade tooThere really is no comparison.I've got an X11 Vermeulen coming from an icon mainframe...Fit is so much better, it feels like a giant fan in my helmet, and price was about $450 more than the icon.

RVTPilot Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Very nice! I have a retired Norick in my garage lined up with my other retired Shoeis. Loved them. Still do, but went with an Arai Quantum2 on the last purchase after spending a year under a Scorpion. Spoiled myself with the Arai, but having worn them for years, I think the Shoei is just as good. Congrats on the new lid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
