@@Championhelmets - The Shoei excelled and I was expecting it having owned HJC RPHA 10 onwards series, AGV Pista and Arai IOM TT RX7 (2013) the only I haven’t owned was the Shoei. Had briefly borrowed X14 from my friend and found it to be an excellent helmet.
@@theaveragebiker.i Shoei have definitely done an excellent job on the X-Spirit 3 with it's great performance on the road and eye for detail. It certainly came out on top compared to the helmets you mentioned, and only the Bell was able to come close to the X-Spirit, which did surprise us. Thanks for the reply! If you find you have any questions, we're always happy to help
I have worn the Agv, Bell, Shoei and Arai on this list and for me the Arai was just brilliant... it was the most comfortable helmet of the lot for everyday riding and i could just feel its pure quality shining through compared to others on this list and many other helmet brands that I have worn over the years.
Thanks for letting us know how you found the helmet! Arai helmets are all handmade, which is one aspect of the helmet that always shows through in their quality construction and comfort. How have you found the helmets compare out on the road?
Quite an impressive review, indeed! One thing I am searching for is a "view angle" as one goes into forward lean. I have two helmets, both with different field of view, but searching specifically for a helmet, I can almost put chin on the tank, and still see enough forward.. cheers
Safety ranking should be the most important category. Maybe that would make the Bell Flex Star Flex DLX win, with its Snell verification! Would like to see you guys including a safety rating next time :)
I love this helmet usually i change alot in the helmets but bell star flex dlx is 4 year in row luv it ,, regarding the safety u are correct i always search for snell
The results were pretty much as we expected for those that ended up toward the top. We appreciate very much the thoroughness of your testing and video presentation. We will definitely look to buy our next lids from Champion Helmets to show our appreciation and support. 👍
@@YABUKIJOE2077 hello, actually i had many agv shoei arai schuberth ,, the most respected helmet for me is 👇 Sports/racing =Arai RX7 Evo & Bell Star flex dlx Touring= schubeth C5 Carbon Shoei is well respected brand i had neotec 2 for my gsa 1250 and was good but i didn't like ot alot No clue for shark helmet Remember if u ride sport bike always invest in snell 👍
Great work, personally rode with most of the helmets except agv(i don't trust it), and also rode with the Schuberth SR1, excluding the price, one of the best helmets ever, it's so aerodynamically balanced that u forget it's on u'r nugget !
Thanks for the feedback! Though we haven't had a chance to test out the SR1 yet, Schuberth are well known for their quality manufacturing. How have you found the SR1 in comparison to the helmets we tested out?
@@Championhelmets it flows nice amount of air, it could benefit of an eyebrow vent, it's the quietest compared to the others, in hi speeds i think it's the best aerodynamically no buffetting no lift and minimum drag, the liner is great as u expected ib this price. For my head if money isn't in the equation it's a schberth, mony for value rpha.
Again, great way and great result of comparing data for the best helmet. I swear pista is super loud, I don't get it why people use it as daily helmet when there's corsa or any other helmet which is better. Oh and maybe if you could add more point for "long term use" for the next comparison data. Hence in my experience there's a lot of flaw when it comes for long term use for each helmets. Example, HJC RPHA 11 prone for having peeling/flaking synthetic leather part. Shoei X14 crown pad being super easy crumbled when get mosited from sweat
Thanks for the suggestion! We'll have to look into how longevity could be measured, though this may be difficult since most helmets should be replaced after 3-5 years. The Pista was definitely a loud helmet, and while this is standard for a track helmet, it makes it less suited for daily commutes. Besides durability, how have you found the helmets we tested out?
The main difference between the Pro Star and Race Star is that the Pro Star has been FIM certified and is composed of Textreme carbon fiber, for an even lighter weight. Besides this, both helmets use the Flex liner system and bring the same set of features. Thanks for the question!
For a sleek profile, a good option for the X-Spirit 3 would be something like the Cardo Packtalk Slim or Packtalk Bold, since they can clamp directly onto the side of the helmet. Thanks for the question!
I love your data. I think your choice of scales and tallying of stars injects subjectivity. But thank you for putting some real world testing into a process where most of us can't try the product before buying. Kudos 👍👍👍
Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate it! Though we do have to rank our helmets in the end, we base this on our wide range of tests to ensure that we are being as fair as possible. What did you think of the helmets we tested out?
Yes, it is posible to fit the RX-7V Racing spoiler (Arai calls it their Diffuser Extension) onto the normal RX-7V. However, since it uses adhesive for mounting, you can only place it on one helmet. Thanks for the question!
Though race helmets tend towards an intermediate to long oval fit, the best round option would be the Arai. The RX-7V uses a highly adjustable liner with additional peel away pads, which will give you the best set of options. Nonetheless, the best option is to always try the helmet on (if possible) in a local store to make sure you have the proper fit. Thanks for the question!
Interesting Lidpicker.com indicated the Arai (US model Corsair X) measured more oval than round. ?Although I hear manufacturers molds differ for various markets? I also see your point about the adjustability peel off liners provides in the Arai. Wish all manufacturers provided this. It's standard in bicycle helmets.
Given the limited time we had, we decided to mainly focus on our main lineup of helmets. Nonetheless, you can also see more on the Shark Race-R Pro GP in our individual road test here: ua-cam.com/video/-vBB28uwScQ/v-deo.html Thanks for the question! What are your thoughts on the Shark helmet?
@@ChampionhelmetsYour comparison looks super brilliant and professional...but then small details like these suggest a bias result to be honest...you did not have time to weigh the helmet? Some solid info though.
Given the large number of options for sport helmets, we decided to focus on the upper segment for our guide, which is also why we were not able to include the R1 Air. Nonetheless, the GP 550S does bring a strong set of features that make it a strong competitor for the Scorpion. Thanks for the question! What did you think of the helmets we tested out?
With so many racing helmets to choose from, we decided to focus on mainly the upper segment of sport helmets, which also meant leaving out the Airoh GP 550S. Nonetheless, we do hope to include the R1 Air in a future guide again. We'd have to agree with @shimjohn, the R1 Air is among one of the best bang for buck racing helmets with phenomenal performance.

The road test guy must test all helmets for noise in the same gear. For the HJC he's testing in 3rd gear and for the Roof he's testing in 6th gear, at the same speeds. I've noticed this on other videos too.
Merhaba , Türkiye içinde sipariş veren var mı ? Sorun yaşayan var mı sipariş vermek istiyorum ama durumlar nedir belli değil. Site içerisinde keşke Türkiye yada Avrupa Birliği olmayan ülkelerle ilgili bir açıklama olsa.
Even though it did not rank as high as we'd hope, the Pista is still an excellent helmet in terms of features and safety. As one of the only FIM certified helmets available that doesn't skimp on visor functionality or the interior, it is still a strong option. Thanks for the comment! How have you found the AGV helmet so far?
You guys make great contents. However, I find the scoring system massively flawed. Based on your analogy, ride with NO HELMET at all and the score will be 5 stars in your WEIGHT, VENTILATION and COMFORT category. So that will get a 2.5 stars overall average. AND no helmet means zero dollars, as such that will be the best value for money?? The SAFETY of a HELMET should be the most important criteria of all, safety deserves more attention than any of your categories. Based on your equation, if you were give the ARAI say, 25 stars for safety, then your ranking will make logical sense.
Of course, safety is the first and foremost purpose of a helmet, and we do hope to someday include this in our rankings. In fact, we do already take some of the helmet's safety into account by considering additional homologations, emergency quick release, and extra safety (such as Bell's Flex or Arai's unique shell shape) in our features category. In addition to this, aspects of the helmet such as weight, comfort, noise, and ventilation also have an impact on safety since they also affect fatigue. Thanks for the comment! Besides safety, what did you think of the helmets we tested out?

The Bell Star Flex also has better angle of view. Which is important for safety and track riding vs street riding.
