      You should buy Arai. Yes, it is lacking some features, yes it is not the lightest. What is it? It is damn safe. Totally understand why people go for other brands but in the end I wear my helmet just because of one reason: Safety.

    What I've found from my 20 helmet-so-far journey is that Arai would always be more comfortable and with more plush/better interior, but Shoei is the overall better helmet.

    My AGV K6 has been great, and would buy another one again in a heartbeat. I have trouble finding hats that fit and are comfortable, much less something that completely encloses my whole head. The K6 fit perfect right out of the box, it's indeed super light in feel, never felt overheated even on the hottest day, and the wide field of view (not mentioned in the review) makes shoulder checks super easy. It came with a pinlock shield, glasses fit good inside it (better than my other Klim ADV), so not having a drop down sun visor is actually a plus since I wear said glasses with clip-ons anyway.

    It is nice to see that I made a good decision, I bought the agv k6s and got it last week!!haven't worn the helmet yet and had thoughts about selling it, I got really cheap,it was on sale,it's not in the best colors,it's called flash!! but it's not too bad!!,350$ isn't that much for the 2nd best sport touring helmet!!

  • @wrathofdiablo
    @wrathofdiablo 3 місяці тому

    Great comparo. Just got the Shoei nxr-2 Faust and I love the fit and comfort. The agv k6s was its contender but style is also a very important factor for most riders and I loved the grim reaper design of the Shoei so it had to be the lid for me. For 420€ it’s a steal

    @championhelmets why aren't the x-lite helmets like the x-lite 903 included on your tests?

    • @Championhelmets
      @Championhelmets  9 місяців тому +1

      There aren't any X-lite / Nolan helmets that fit this category aside from the X-804 and the X-903, and the X-903 was released five years ago. The X-903 is also more akin to a sport-touring helmet rather than a race helmet

    • @marcoaguiar3226
      @marcoaguiar3226 9 місяців тому

    Hello, I am using Scorpion r1 carbon. I am looking for a new helmet because it has a built-in inner sunshade visor. and I'm so confused. Do you think HJC Rpha 71? Or AGV K7?

    • @Championhelmets
      @Championhelmets  Місяць тому +1

      Hello the RPHA71 beats the K7 on several objective areas and comes out stronger. Only if you really like the design or any other subjective reason then the K7 may be a better choice. But if you look at it objectively the rpha is the better helmet.

    Always perfect mix of analysis and synthesis skill, Thank you. Just a question : Within the AGV range, why don't you include the K5-S, it seems to have a more touring (sunvisor) orientation, is it not as good as the K6-s on the others aspects? thank you

      Thank you. we can obviously understand it isn't possible for you to test 100% of the models on the market, as the range of each trademark is quite large and it changes very regulary. From your tests, however, we still have a very strong basis of comparison, which allow us to narrow our choices and select the ones, which fit us the best, according to our own morphology, use or riding conditions. Thanks

    Interesting, because when it comes to noise isolation, according to your test ua-cam.com/video/UPjRUUbboQk/v-deo.html , the previous version of Scorpion EXO-1400 Evo Carbon was quieter (97 dB) than the new version, which reached 100 dB..
    has it actually gotten worse in the new version?

    Interesting comparison. However, your tests cannot measure build quality, which only becomes apparent after extended ownership. I have owned numerous helmets from various manufacturers. The only ones that remained largely intact and entirely functional after 3 or 4 years of daily use were those made by Arai and Shoei. My advice would be to buy an Arai or Shoei, depending on which one best fits your head shape. In the end, you get what you pay for!

    • @Championhelmets
      @Championhelmets  3 місяці тому +1

      Thanks for commenting and sharing your insight. And while the build quality of Shoei and Arai helmets are probably among the best, there are plenty of riders who'd argue the same for the other top brands.

    Weird seing this about the scorpion exo-1400. Have had that helmet since july 23. And i absolute hate it. Pinlock sucks boyond anything i have had before. And yes. It is correctly installed. Even bought new ones. No difference. Extremely noisy in tunels. And i do use earplugs. Even pumping it makes no difference. Overall not a good helmet in my experience. Was hoping on finding something better in the video but not so sure now. Had a challenger 2 from ls2 before and that felt better.

    Guys, Scorpion made it to the top because it is 50 euro cheaper despite its feature rating is 0.01 lower. Really? When you make this kind of thorough testing, next time make two charts: for people who want a pragmatic choice (aka value for money), and another one for the ones who just want to choose the best product based on its characteristics (not saving 10% off the price)!
