Is there anyone out there doing deals on Arai's at the moment? (my last two helmets have been Aria's so I quite like them and how they fit) Think I'm looking at a RX-7GP or maybe a Quantum. Or should I be considering other makes?
Not sure there are many deals at the moment, stock is a little thin on the ground due to the change in UK distributor.
As to whether you should be looking at other manufacturers, do they fit you? I've concluded that I have an Arai shaped head, having tried on pretty much every other manufacturer's lids at the Excel bike show a couple of years ago. Am on my second Arai, picked up at that show. Couldn't believe how wrong assorted AGVs, Suomis, Shoeis etc felt given the shape of my bonce. Hein Gericke's website says a few of their shops are still open even though the website is down - the only ones oop north are Preston and Manchester ...might be bargains to be had there.
Yeah I think I have an Arai shaped head too. Though I've also had a shoei in the past that was ok. Might have to get my arse in gear and check some out. Hopefully there may be some bargains when the weather turns
I really liked my Colin legend Arai Felt really comfy I got mine from helmet city in west bay after trying the schuberth S1 PRO which I couldn't get on with Have a look on line they do some good deals
They do a few great designs.....but they just don't fit me right, and they're a bit too noisy for my liking as I usually don't wear earplugs.
They seam to make a lot of wind noise around the side pods. (now there's a line for the jokers) I've only ever had one AGV, but it was a basic model and it was shite. My current helmets are all Shoei, but I quite liked a HJC one I had and some of the new sharks are excellent.
Have to agree mate, I've had a couple of AGV's and not really got on with them. I got a good deal on a Shark S900. Really pleased with it, has the internal visor as well.. Second one I've owned. Not the quietest, but quieter than the AGV, I always wear ear plugs..:smile:
Mine fitted tightly so there was no room for side winds the only time was if I tucked under the screen it would lift slightly giving a rush more than a whistle I loved my schuberth but the Arai is a very close contender I had a Rossi rep AVG K1 I think it was in a med. Was tight fitting bit seemed to loosen up on wearing
Ah right.... I didn't realise they'd used AGV....mind it would make sense as they like to support company's in their own country where possible.
