      I'm not sure what they can do to make my ShoeiX14 better but if they do its going to be big! We do a bunch of roll racing 9/10ths of mile and drag race 1/8-1/4mile. Anything over 180mph -220+mph (roll racing) and a regular helmet will try and rip hour head off if you pop up from behind the windshield not to mention issues with visors ripping up/off. I might be biased but the x14 is something I can say that does it all and cuts through the air better than anything else I've tried.

    Excellent, thank you for this. F1 has been doing this for a while, and they take their time to explain the tech, the reasoning behind them, even the specialists and what they do with that tech. I think MotoGP should take a leaf out of the F1 book and this Tech Talk is a great start. Simon is just a master at explaining these things and his "specialist ear" hearing the clutch slip on gear change - just awesome. Please keep them coming.

    Amazing invention for the racing industries.
    I remember my early years on a GSXR 600 K5 without a slipper clutch, downshifting and keeping the clutch slightly engaged, even making a dent in the clutch handle so that i knew whenever i feel the dent, the clutch is slipping and giving comfort and accuracy on track.
    Racing back then was so tiring! Glad we have blipper systems these days.

    I don't think the clutches "slip" during upshifting as opposed to the lower of the gears continues on a bit through the engagement of the next gear to reduce the rpm/intertia drop caused by manually shifting. Didn't we learn that during one of the Tech Talks? May have been somewhere else.
    Anyway, Thank you Simon!!!
