Supabird1100 said:I've always worked on the principal that a ?30 helmet that fits is better than a ?300 helmet that doesn't.....hence my choice of the ?45 AGV over my ?160 Lazer Revolution for most of me riding. :}
And the Lazer actually fitted fine for months....but then the padding settled. Bloody shame, cos it's quite a good lid. :B
mikew said:so I bought another one :lick:
I have a Lazer which I stoppedusing because the visor is too easily scratched but I bought a new set of inners when the origionals settled too much.Supabird1100 said:They are great lids, Mike....but I found the sizing strange. I normally buy a medium/large in most makes of helmet, but the Lazer was a small and seemed to fit great from the word go. But over time the padding settled and now it feels too loose to be safe.
Found it a tad heavy.....but loved the sunshield and the jet-fighter mask !!!! :bow:

And the X-Spirit is the best of those, followed by the Z-One.

lumpy said:You KNOW what I mean Steve. Don't let's twist things.
Let me see now. Materials, quality, manufacture. visor mechanism, venting, consistency, finish, aerodynamics, visor material, race proven, and so on.
because personally and IMHO, (Which I believe the forum is all about), they aint!Shoei are still the best.
lumpy said:Your monologue proves my point that Shoei are the best and Arai are second rate.
I liked my Boeri Driver all those years ago. Good visor and mech. Lots of good lids around, not too many bad ones. It's been fun.
Ride safe Blubba.
PS. The on-site race support is for many things, not really running repair. They fit visors, interiors, claen and discinfect, modify visors for different race conditions etc. Shoei have the unilaterally agreed best visor mechanism and I am firked if I know how they justify the cost either.
gypsy said:its a bit Gay though!
i only bloody asked !!lumpy said:Both Arai, and Shoei, keep the labour in Japan instead of cheap unskilled labour in the other countries and this ensure quality control etc. unlike the cheaper lids. So YES. I do bloody know so get off my case.
frenchuk said:Is it because you see it as being gay that you attempted to ram me you big pooftah?
Ah may well be - according to RIDE... but does the X-Spirit have a proven track record of saving people's skulls - twice? Schuberth S1 has: mine and a guy I know... So you will understand that I bought an S1 to replace the one that saved me! BTW does the X-Spirit have an inside dark visor? Because beside looking mean and cool and very cool, it actually is immensely practical! But if you love it and trust your life with it that's the main thing :beer:lumpy said:Second best compared to my X-Spirit according to RiDE.
