    Been wearing a first gen TT-Course for a few years, it’s a great budget helmet, great field of view, decently comfy, and very breathable (I sweat a lot normally but never in it). Downsides are this helmet is very loud, and you’d have to adjust the position of the ratchet for each visor, I got 3 of them (clear, dark smoke, and mirror) and each of them fits differently. Quite a pain in the ass if you commute to work in it.

      I’ve noticed the visor on the TT course can be a bit tricky to get on sometimes.

    Hi, I'm from Indonesia. Here actually there is one more helmet that is a bit cheaper than TTC which is KYT Striker. I have 3 KYT helmets for daily use: Striker, TTC and R2R. All three have different fitments. And i'm sure they are made for different human head shapes.

    You could have joined in this review the KYT NF-R and KYT Striker series. These are the Sport Touring helmets of KYT alongside the R2R. The NX-Race and NZ-Race are actually a step up from the NF-R series Sport Touring helmet. ✌

    Great video, man. Greetings from Indonesia. Honestly, I am still waiting for R2R with a single-visor version. Here, we have the N-series for single-visor only and the one with sun-visor (NFR, NX-Race, NZ-Race). For now, I still use NX, but I love that "easy lock system" on R2R.

      @@will_6367 Not gonna lie it does feel really soft but I actually like it. Compared to the KX-1 or the AGV Pista GP RR, those cheek pads are more stiff. If I’m going to ride the bike out on the road for a long period of time I want it to be more comfortable. On the track you are only running g short sessions and then take the helemt off. I crashed wearing the NZ-Race on the street and it did perfectly fine.

    • @itsmeericb
      @itsmeericb  4 місяці тому +9

      Well then you made your choice 😂 Buy the AGV if that’s what you want. I’ve owned a few AGV helmets from their budget model all the was to the Pista GP RR. For the price you are paying more for the name. The Pista did not impress means I sold two of them. Not saying they won’t perform but how many MoroGP riders do you see wearing AGV helmets nowadays since Rossi left?? Clout helmets.
