Bought one not long ago. First helmet I ever owned that fits my long-ass head. Three times I have reached up and touched the helmet while riding because I thought it was missing! I'd call that comfort!
Great Question, I'm not sure. I measured up my AK-66 size Medium and it's 6 in tall when sitting flat on counter top top of helmet. Hopefully that will help you out. Cheers
Tony Montgomery Hey Tony sorry for the late response. They are just regular sun glasses, just one of many pairs that I wear. I would like some biker specs but can be pricey.
Very nice bro, wish they were legal over here, not sure about the carbon look as I've always been more of a matt black sorta guy, I've now gone for the Biltwell Bonanza, still not legal in England but it blends in more with the open faced helmets we have here, RSM8 & as you always tell us Take it ease bro.
Thanks Skeggy, I do like that look as well, guess that's why I have them all, I like the gloss black too. My god am I addicted to beanie helmets lol. Just checked out the Biltwell Bonanza matte black, looks pretty cool oldschool bro. Ride safe & Takeiteass!
Nice helmet! ..got a little nervous there at the end when you said ..k ..lets go test it. Jeeeeze! ...a balcony to driveway header? ...a waterless pool dive into the deep end?? LOL! Kidding...thanks for the ride bro! :)
hahaha you are a card willy, I like the waterless pool dive. Man I love this new helmet the Corbon fiber look and that it's so friken light. Takeiteass Willy
Thanks bro. I got this at Allforbikers.com years ago, but it looks like the website is down now. If you Google these helmets you can find fairly easy. I dont know if SNELL makes a beanie like these. Cheers
do you use ear plugs with that style helmet. isn't the wind noise pretty bad. I wear the 3/4 style helmet which covers my ears from wind noise...you do an excellent job with your videos. where's the bro..joe is awesome.
Hey Blackcat, my windscreen does a pretty good job of keeping the wind to a minimum. so I haven't had to wear them. Thanks for the kind comment on my vids & Thanks for watching. My bro Joe is in an upcoming video I'm working on. I do agree with you Joe is awesome lol. Takeiteass!
Hey, BC. They also sell relatively thin earmuffs that attach easily, and aren't too shabby. I grabbed them for longer rides as wind can sometimes give me a bitchin' headache.
how this helmet compares to ak88 or ak1 size wise? i have both and like them but bought soa inspired lid from bikershelmet.com and the fit is tighter on my melon. dont like it at all. this helmet looks like the one from bikershelmet site
HI , I'm ready to order the carbon :) in your opinion , I'm measure 23inch on the dot , do think medium is the way to go ? or large? any help would be appreciated! thx bro!
I would probably do the med it's better to be a bit snug than to have the helmet to big. it will also break in a bit as time goes on. If You do decide to go with the lrg you could where a bandana if it's a bit loose. Hope this helps. Cheers!
Have you tried "World Smallest Beanie Helmet"? it's from bikerhelmets.com if you have can you tell me the differences between these Akoury helmets and WSB.
Hi Nelson, I have not tried one from bikerhelmet, but after looking at them on there site they look very close to the AKOURY model, I see that they are more expensive than the AKOURY model as well. You probably couldn't go wrong with either helmet, other than price that is. Cheers!
Hey, Bernbo. How's tings? Thinking about grabbing one of the Matt 88 models, but I wanted to ask you how you like dealing with this company? Prompt shipping and all that? And what is the TVH charge? Provincial Sales Tax? Can't understand what the rep is telling me via email. Cheers, pard.
Wanderlustus All good doing well. I have had no problems with Allforbikers.com I am not sure what TVH is but the PST is 7 percent and GST is 5 percent I believe. Shipping was pretty quick as well. Hope this helps you out. Cheers
Thanks, bud. Sadly the PST in NB is 10%, and the bugger would raise it I'm sure if there wasn't an election coming up. :I was actually on the Akoury site itself, but I'll defo give the site suggested a look. Finally got my V-Star out for a ride the other day. Bit wobbly after 35 years without a bike, so baby steps currently. Sure felt good riding beside the ocean with the wind in my face again though. All the best, pard!
I like the AK66, it's just so frickin light, and I think the Carbon fiber looks pretty badass. You can't go wrong with these beanies they all look badass. Cheers!
Hey Jimmy, we do have wasps but I have been lucky so far knock on wood. When I was 16 or 17 I had a bee or wasp fly into a half helmet i was wearing, scared the shit out of me, pulled over super fast and ripped the helmet off as fast as i could, all good. Cheers bro.
Bernbo your helmet does look terrific :-) but with the ridiculously high number of morons over here in Australia that play on their mobile phones while driving :-( I wont wear anything but a full face. I pulled up at a set of lights at a major intersection not long ago and counted five morons in different cars all texting. I'm waiting for the day when someone blasts a horn at them to get off the phone and they think the lights have changed and take off rear ending the poor sucker in front of them. Hey! I should blast them with the new FIAMM 72112 Freeway Blaster Horn 130db your video persuaded me to install :-0
I hear ya brother, I don't fricken get this cell phone shit in the car business. Give them a BLAST with your Freeway Blaster lol. We are getting hardcore here now. Starting June 1, first-time offenders will receive the $368 ticket and $175 for four penalty points on their driving records, for a total of $543. Repeat offenders will pay the same $368, but will receive escalating penalty points for each offence within 12 months: 2nd offence: $368 + $520 in penalty points = $888 5th offence: $368 + $3760 in penalty points = $4,128 10th offence: $368 + $14,520 in penalty points = $14,888 Repeat offenders will also face an automatic licence review, which could result in a driving prohibition of three to 12 months. Stay safe out there bro. Takeiteass
Good stuff! We've got a squad of special m/c cops riding the freeways over here just to catch them, but sadly they always seem to have plenty of customers every day. I think a good way to get the message across is to make it compulsory for learner drivers to run a special obstacle course while using their phones and see just how quickly things can turn disastrous in real life.
Bought one not long ago. First helmet I ever owned that fits my long-ass head. Three times I have reached up and touched the helmet while riding because I thought it was missing! I'd call that comfort!
Hammered01 lol, it's TRUE sometimes it feels like you forgot to put it on. Cheers
Just bought the AK88 Carbon. Love this lid. Very light and looks great.
Congrats on the new lid bro, can't go wrong with these beanies, love them.
Cheers!
Great review just ordered mine today. Cheers
The most annoying thing in the world is a helmet review video where they don’t put on the helmet!! You sir, are a saint
Thanks bro, I couldn't agree more!
Cheers
Won't lie, I have been searching for a while and that is the best looking kid and profile I have seen. Crazy Al, Daytona and etc are 🚽
Just got mine today. Love it!
That does look sweet.
May have to upgrade the open face and get one. Looks over functionality always wins in my eyes !!!
Keep it up big dog.
Matt
Thanks Matt, this helmet does look awesome! My favorite beanie right now, it's so dam comfortable.
Takeiteass!
Great channel bro love all the videos thanks for sharing and a great review
I know this is an older video but does the AK-66 helmet fit in the pre 2014 Harley Davidson hard saddlebags? I have a 2006 Road King.
Great Question, I'm not sure. I measured up my AK-66 size Medium and it's 6 in tall when sitting flat on counter top top of helmet. Hopefully that will help you out. Cheers
What glasses do you wear? Are they motorcycle glasses or standard sunglasses? Great videos! Subscribed!
Tony Montgomery Hey Tony sorry for the late response. They are just regular sun glasses, just one of many pairs that I wear. I would like some biker specs but can be pricey.
Tony Montgomery oh and thank you for subscribing bro cheers!

Really nice lookin helmet man! I bought the ak88 a few yrs ago after seeing your review. I think I might be due a new helmet hehe
I agree with you, I like how it changes in the light, it just comes alive, crazy. Pick one up for the weekends lol.
Cheers!

Thanks BlackCat. With nice comments like that I might need to get a bigger helmet. 😃
seemeontv hahaha
Hey, BC. They also sell relatively thin earmuffs that attach easily, and aren't too shabby. I grabbed them for longer rides as wind can sometimes give me a bitchin' headache.
Is there any similar helmet that has a visor on it.. Thanks
If you google beanie motorcycle helmet with visor there out there, I just don't know if they are as small as the AKOURY beanies.
That's a nice lid. I like the cut. I might have to get me one. 👍
Yah bro, nice lines for sure.
Does the carbon fiber 66 fits even smaller then the 88 does? I have the 88 and was thinking of getting the 66
Andrew Ward Hey Andrew, as far as I know the sizes are the same regardless of the model.
Bernbo oh really i thought the carbon fiber ak66 had less padding then the ak88 and might fit smaller ,ok well thanks for replying 👍
Andrew Ward they all seem to have the same amount of padding, the carbon fiber is definitely lighter though. Cheers
Bernbo thanks bro
how this helmet compares to ak88 or ak1 size wise? i have both and like them but bought soa inspired lid from bikershelmet.com and the fit is tighter on my melon. dont like it at all. this helmet looks like the one from bikershelmet site
2nArk sorry for the late response. The size is the same across the board for these helmets, I have all 3 and the fit is the same.
HI , I'm ready to order the carbon :) in your opinion , I'm measure 23inch on the dot , do think medium is the way to go ? or large? any help would be appreciated! thx bro!
I would probably do the med it's better to be a bit snug than to have the helmet to big. it will also break in a bit as time goes on. If You do decide to go with the lrg you could where a bandana if it's a bit loose. Hope this helps.
Cheers!
Thanks for the quick reply, yes I will go with the medium thank you for the advice!
Great choice on the Carbon Fiber.
Thank you, thanks to your video!
How does it compare to crazy als ?
Hey Bobby, not sure, don't know crazy als.
Have you tried "World Smallest Beanie Helmet"? it's from bikerhelmets.com if you have can you tell me the differences between these Akoury helmets and WSB.
Hi Nelson, I have not tried one from bikerhelmet, but after looking at them on there site they look very close to the AKOURY model, I see that they are more expensive than the AKOURY model as well. You probably couldn't go wrong with either helmet, other than price that is. Cheers!
hey man which sits lower the 88 or the 66
Tiffany Baker I got to say they all sit about the same.
right on haha didnt see i was on my wifes account, thanks
Tiffany Baker lol that's cool.
Hi bro
How can cost delivery to Ukraine of the hat?
Sorry I don't know the cost but If you go to the website, you will see a CONTACT US tab there, you can ask them how much to ship there.
Hey, Bernbo. How's tings? Thinking about grabbing one of the Matt 88 models, but I wanted to ask you how you like dealing with this company? Prompt shipping and all that? And what is the TVH charge? Provincial Sales Tax? Can't understand what the rep is telling me via email. Cheers, pard.

All the best, pard!
Meant to ask as well . . . I've a wee tear on the right side on my seat. Any idea what the best way to repair it might be, short of buying a new seat?
Wanderlustus that's a good question, I have not done a repair like that, but I think 3m has a vinyl repair kit you could give a try.
Wanderlustus Wow 35 yrs, cheers to ya bro. Baby steps for, back in the saddle again. Have fun and Ride safe.
Do you prefer the AK88 or 66??
I like the AK66, it's just so frickin light, and I think the Carbon fiber looks pretty badass. You can't go wrong with these beanies they all look badass. Cheers!
Bernbo Thanks. I just ordered the AK66 Carbon from Blackbeard's Motorcycle Gear
Congrats, great choice.
Are you ready to review a MicroDOT Helmet? MicroDotHelmets.com
Man that's sick, and it will match my bike. Do you have a free one for me? LOL
lol sorry bro. I totally agree with you, this beanie is Sick!
Cheers!
Don't you guys have wasps over there? Those motherf***ers knock your teeth out in 60 mph!! 😂😂
Hey Jimmy, we do have wasps but I have been lucky so far knock on wood. When I was 16 or 17 I had a bee or wasp fly into a half helmet i was wearing, scared the shit out of me, pulled over super fast and ripped the helmet off as fast as i could, all good.
Cheers bro.
no worries. I'll bite the bullet and get one.
Nice!
