It has really bad wind noise on the top of your head when you open the face shield more than half way. You have to adjust your head to a weird angle to make the noise go away. There might be a way to make it go away but I just don’t know yet. Overall it’s a good helmet.
Im looking into buying the RS Xbot version but no one here sells them locally to try on. I see you said you tried on the XL and it fit well. After measuring my head it seems its between 59-60cm which is the L. I think I have a medium oval type shape of a head. Pretty sure I currently have an Icon Airflite in size XXL with XXXL cheek pads but I did hear Icon favours a more narrow head. I was curious what measurement your head was and if you were between the 59-60cm but the XL fit better being 61-62cm. thanks
@@SpeedAddictsTV I got to try on a GT helmet and the XL seems alright. Did you mention the RS is less tight and more round on the interior vs the GT? Thanks for replying btw
It is said that Shark helmets are more for round shaped heads. You said that fits very well on you, but as far as i know from other videos, you are in the intermediate oval spectrum (as I am). What's your opion for the shape fits better for this helmet? . I'm between HJC F71, Scorpion EXO-1400, and this. What would you suggest me?
I've not heard about Shark helmets being more round shaped. All the Shark helmets we've come across have been a good fit for my intermediate oval head. The Spartan RS has the new ECE 22.06 rating and looks slick. The F71 is DOT only and the Exo-1400 is on the way out.
Hi, thanks for another good review! I have a question for you Schad if you review these. I've been on the hunt for a helmet, I ordered the Shark spartan GT in XL as most helmets fit me in XL and im about your size from watching reviews. I loved the helmet so much, you're right, it is underated if you ask me after trying a few big name helmets, especially for the price, that visor and shield are so good. Anyways, the GT was a bit tight on my face (cheek pads), it squeezed me too much and I couldn't help but return it. Would the RS fit a little less snug? I ordered an XXL carbon GT from amazon to see if it would fit any better but im curious about these RS models.
Thanks for your support! Yes, the RS fit is less sporty (tight) than the GT and should give you the room your after. We're really stoked on this helmet.
Please review Spartan RS Xbot. its lighter, it has emergency removal system. Its better than this helmet your trying to sell. Or do review on the scorpion R1 EVO air MG. You did a review on the basic R1 Air but not the others. How about the scorpion 1400 GT SP Air or 1400 Luma. Why do you guys not carry these helmets?
So what you're saying is, buy your helmets from a Euro vendor like FC Moto or Champion Helmets because they have better looking, and better overall versions of the helmets you all sell. Ok, thanks.

Generally XL in most helmets.

The 1400 EXO is not on its way out. Look up Scorpion EXO GT SP 1400. It's brand new and it's freaking awesome.
Hi, can you do a review comparison between Spartan GT vs Spartan RS. Which one is better?
Both helmets are pretty comparable.

Good review! Would like to see you put the helmet on so we can see how it looks on someone.
Appreciate the feedback. We try to put the helmet on in all our videos. I apologize we missed it on this one.
@@SpeedAddictsTV no worries at all, you guys rock!!

We do not review Euro versions of helmets. US only since we only carry these on our website.
So what you're saying is, buy your helmets from a Euro vendor like FC Moto or Champion Helmets because they have better looking, and better overall versions of the helmets you all sell. Ok, thanks.
