My R1 is loud also. It started out about as quiet as my RPHA11 but got louder as I wore it, and got much louder after I installed my Cardo system. I've had it apart a dozen times trying figure out why. I've saw other people mention the same in comments section of reviews. If I wear ear plugs under it with them installed correctly it is really nice. I can even hear the whizz of my race brake pads on the rotors, but the bad sounds are muted out.
@deweysturgill6220 it's just so light and comfortable that I'm willing to deal with the sound. I can turn my head to look behind me now without discomfort
Yeah I had so many helmets in my carts on different websites lol...I just happen to go to Langston motorsports to look at the Alpinestars helmet and saw this one on sale for $300...I was like I can't pass this up. I'll get the Alpinestars helmet next time
Had mine for about 2 years and it’s still holding up. Very comfortable even on long rides and light as hell compared to other helmets.
I have two, one carbon, love them both, prefer them to my Shoei, but my ultimate favourite is an AGV K5-S.

I’m so torn between this and the Exo ST1400 carbon. I’m on a z900 so don’t need the tuck cut of the R1, but damn it’s sexy af.
