Schuberth SR1 quick review
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…

Shoei GT Air Wanderer TC-5 helmet review
Posted
by
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…

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…

by
Reviewed by: Steve Rose for 80,000 miles By rights, this helmet should have been retired a long time ago. Four years old and with somewhere around 80,000 miles covered, you can see by the scuffs and scrapes that it hasn’t had an easy life. But the thing is, I can’t stop wearing it. This Viper GT…

Arai X-Tend helmet review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Marc Wheeler for 6000 miles RRP: £349.99 Cards on the table, I’ve long been an Arai man and I’ve also had several of the brand’s jet style SZ range, doing many thousands of miles in them over the years. So when the X-tend was launched at last year’s Milan show I had to…

Scorpion EXO-1000 Air ‘Twister’ E11 helmet review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Dave Bell RRP: £314.99 I’ve fallen for this helmet; the fit is fantastic, the styling superb and the quality top spec. This lightweight helmet has numerous features including the Pinlock Maxivision system. This is my first encounter with Pinlock and I must say I am very impressed by it. The Speedview no-fog internal…
