Has anyone got one or any experience of one - that link gives it a good review and I like it's looks, and they're available for seventy quid in the UK - good value and that sun shade thingie looks like it would be the dogs ...
Constructive thoughts please .

Has anyone compared the Arai Touir X2 to the Shoei Hornet DS?

I gotta Grex. Seems OK. Only bad thing is it is a clip fastener which I much dislike.

I'd like to try the Airoh, but there's no Auckland agent.

Which also has a clip.

I didn't like 'em either, (why change somat wot works bloody well?) but, (in spite of continuing bitching about it) I've learned to live with it.

Just on the off-chance, does anyone know of Caberg availability closer than the UK ?

Just got one today and with a little work fits me very well.
It's basically a modified 2100 road helmet but that only means there's less room to get a drink nozzle up inside to your mouth.
Good build quality and retailed for $199 which was quite good I thought.
Quite quiet on the road and seems to be quite stable at speed with the peak.

Nice one Nordie!

I bought one (black) myself a few weeks ago.(no specific photo as such,
but you can catch a glimpse in two photos in Bart's report on page 2 of "Quikiride HB" thread.

The first thing I did was install an antifog insert.(a must, for me)
This had to be cut out around the nose area to clear the raised shape in the visor. It works very well.
I also bought tinted visors, although when it was time to fit the peak
I discovered they had given me the 2100 road helmet visors with no holes
on the sides. Only a minor panic then decided to drill holes. Good as gold now!

I think they are a comfy, smart, good value helmet.

Cheers.

I've got a Grex RD1 - had it for just over 2 years. It is a nice helmet but it is now very noisy - might have to start wearing earplugs, as much as I am loathe to.

Nordie that's that nice looking helmet!

I got one of these on saturday as well and am loving it. I wanted the Titanium but could only get the black. I find there's enough room to get my drink nozzle in and there's certainly more chin room than my road Shoei or Arai. It's also much quieter than the Arai.

I agree to both verdicts on noise and stability and you can't go past the price.

It's a bit of a bugger to get on but once it's on it's sweet.
I'm getting too used to MX/openface/flipfront helmets.

I got a GREX 2 years ago and still going strong. Don't have any problems with wind noise but I always wear a Rev It neck warmer which I read makes a difference to the air flow or something , anyway very happy with it and a good price as mentioned
