Most unbearably noisy helmet I have ever owned! 6D is like being permently stuck in a wind tunnel, even with plugs in. I'm trying to find why. Everything looks pretty cool, except the visor doesn't seem to seal 100% around the rear/sides. Perhaps wind is slipping in here. I'll have to sell it on if I can't figure it out. Bought a hjc 70 - it feels silent compared to 6D.
How the heck do you not have more views on this. I too have a Shoei 1400 and a NEOTEC II. I'm always looking for a alternative to Shoei just so i'm not a Shoei fan boy. My local shop guy sells 6d and told me about how they are part of the nfl helmet make. You kinda made it look cheap at a expensive price. I think im going to try the Arai. Cheers and great video.
Thank you for your kind words. After riding with the 6D for an entire season I still maintain that it is not a bad helmet but I probably won’t buy another one. Thanks and safe riding to you.
I ordered one of these on closeout to replace a old HJC FS 15. At $360 usd or 490 cdn, I think I made the right choice but haven't got to see the helmet yet.
Weird comment from BretGash but anyway. I like this comparison I'm a Shoei guy but have always been interested in the 6D's tech. It's hard to beat Shoei in terms of quality they just make great helmets period. I picked up a 6D for the first time at a local store and didn't think they felt too bad in terms of quality, But I didn't compare them directly to Shoei. In terms of safety it seems hard to dispute something that can soften the impacts like that. Snell seems a bit outdated and too hard in terms of what leads to concussions. Have you been using both?
I retired my Shoei as it’s over 6 years old. I buy a new lid every 6 years no matter what. The 6d is not horrible but unless they improve or lower their prices I won’t buy another one. The one thing I cannot stand is the visor on it. To me, the visor is just unacceptable. Pretty much in agreement with you! Glad the video was helpful.
Yeah you're right the price is steep. Even on sale you're looking at 600 bucks give or take for the 6D. I hope Shoei does something similar in terms of impact technology maybe the MEDS system they have for the offroad helmet can trickle its way into the street side. Then we'll have the best of both worlds and almost a no brainer no pun. Thanks bro !!!@@ontwowheels6479

@@FanaticalKilla at that price you did good!! 👍
I run 6D for motocross and I’ve had to test it out multiple times and I’m glad to say the Omni directional system works very well
That is actually really good to hear that the system works. Thank you for sharing that with everyone.
Sounds to me that because the 6D wasn't just like the SHOEI that it's not as good. Your next helmet should ve a SHOEI
Ok.

Visor is rubbish.
I haven’t seen any tests being done so how do I know it’s safe
