Ahh the motorcycle style channel I was looking for as a new rider, fabulous channel.
Royal Enfield leather helmet is the safest and best retro design helmet I have ever collected so far...
These are FABULOUS! Great edits too man
Great, informative video thanks and a good selection of open face lids. Top notch. I always had an Arai years ago (apart from the 70's) and these designs look great
Loving the TT&C helmet! One day I'll get a Davida helmet when I can afford one. 😊
Truley enjoy your videos Ultra Ride!! 👏🏾
Cheers, glad you enjoyed the selection!
Awesome man, great video. Definitely, I'll be getting one of this helmets thanks to your helpful review.
Great video 👍🏼
Just so you know, in March 2020, Davida (UK) Limited made 8 of their full-time staff redundant, including ALL the staff in their UK workshop that actually made these helmets. Davida (UK) Limited filed for Insolvency later in 2020.
Thanks for that info, I thought something seemed odd as everything on their website was out of stock.
Just checked Davida's website and it says their back and ready to take orders. That's great news.
@@ultra-ride2446 “they” is a newly-formed company, without their long-standing, skilled workforce.
That's a shame Davida have been going from the 70s , I think they are based in Moreton on the Wirral .
@@carlarthur4442 Davida was based on the Wirral.
Great Video, fantastic jet's!
...and i love your jacket, this is so cool, tjis is an amazing leather piece!
Love that Hedonist cactus 🌵 color open face for here in Arizona
Hey! Cheers neighbor
Excellent video just curious the AGV helmet sitting next to you is that an X70 model? It sort of looks like it, but looks more slim down. Very nice!
Thanks. The helmet next to me is not an X70 it's an AGV A-4 helmet from the early 1970s.
@@ultra-ride2446 OK got it. Thanks. Yeah it looked more vintage. Pretty dang cool helmet if I say so myself!
I checked out the caberg freeride. Small shell but very loud. With the visor on unberarbly loud. Probably the loudest helmet I ever tested. Only the Scorpion Belfast was as loud as the Freeride. Neither was usable, not even with ear protection.
That's unfortunate. It's not always easy to find a helmet that works for us. A friend of mine has the Caberg Freeride and really likes it.
@@ultra-ride2446 I hope he has a very high windshield or weres ear protection and does not go to fast. Otherwise he might regnet it when he gets older and deaf. Or maybe my Freeride malfuntcioned. But anywhy, watch your hearing!
No acknowledgement of various head shapes. You can't just run out and buy a helmet because of it's features. It has to be made for the shape of your head. So which of these fit oval, round, or round/oval heads?
Individuals would need to have an accurate understanding of their head shape as well as companies being able to accurately represent the head shape of their helmets. In my experience both parties have difficulty with this as it's not an exact science. Individuals also need to understand how to determine the correct fit. The simplest solution is usually to try the helmet on - it can be returned if bought online.
@@ultra-ride2446 Perfect!
Without seeing any of them being worn on an actual head, we can assume they all look like bowling balls !!
Your vogue poses rock dude!
great review. but how bout that super fresh coat you have on?! where can i get one?..
Why do these videos and not show the helmets on your or somebody else's head !
Hi, great review. I’ve ordered the Roeg. Just seen the hedonist? Typical! Which overall is smaller and more compact ? Find the Roeg quite mushroom looking on. ✌🏼
The Hedonist is nice although considerably more expensive than the Roeg.
@@ultra-ride2446 hi, not really worried about price point. More about overall size. I want the smallest legal helmet. Trying to compare on videos and pictures but it looks like the Hedonist was smaller ??
@@joshfletcher9185 An open face helmet with a compact shell can still sit high on the head resulting in the look you're trying to avoid. Your best option is to try the helmet on.
@@ultra-ride2446 ok my man ✌🏼
@@joshfletcher9185 look at Bandit Jet helmet..👍
That is the smallest open helmet you will find..👍☺️
Hi I’m interested in the DMD vintage Great video, I believe I’ll be ordering a DMD soon! Although I’m not sure what size. I’m a 56.5cm and am not sure between a S or M… I want to order a small but afraid it might be too tight, but also equally afraid of ordering the medium and it being too big. I emailed them, but it’s the weekend. I imagine they’ll get back with me on Monday. Any thoughts?
Thanks. From what I understand the DMD vintage helmet runs a bit small. However, wait for DMD's reply to see what they suggest. Sometimes companies refine the fit of a helmet over time. I know Bell Helmets did that with their Custom 500 helmet.
@@brianfindlay4280 I ordered a medium and should get it today. After I get it I’ll update with a new message on how it fits.
@@brianfindlay4280 I just got my medium DMD helmet and it was too loose just by a bit. So I’m exchanging it for a small which should be perfect. But from what I can tell so far it’s a highly refined quality and comfortable helmet!
VERY NICE REVIEW-GREEDINGS FROM GREECE!!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Bell is the only one I'd buy, because of the lower pop stud. I went down the road on my face wearing an open face helmet when I was 16, the thing I was wearing(and I'm not telling what it is because they are getting hard to find) saved my face. Looking to buy a Bagger in '23, I'll be buying a Bell, not unless Davida can fit that stud!
How can I get Davida Speedster helmet on online I am from India 🇮🇳 please reply
You can contact Davida directly with your enquiry.
why are the pads on yours so thin? mine came in with super thick pads
My AGV helmet in the video is vintage, circa 1970 - it's not an X70.
Saludos de @MotoMoteroUru 🇺🇾
Thanks for the info. !
Where can I get those goggles that are pictured with the last Davida speedster helmet!?
Check Baruffaldigoggles.com. It's an old Baruffaldi model that I don't think is still available but they may have something similar.
@@ultra-ride2446 sweet! Thanks!
If you want the Bell make sure you have neck muscles like Mike Tyson
Shoei JO is missing from your set. But its price tag ain't for everyone, admittedly.
As mentioned in the video I'm not a fan of drop down visors on retro open face helmets but decided to include one. The LS2 Bob has press stud fasteners to fit a retro or vintage peak, which adds to the retro aesthetic in my opinion, unlike the Shoei JO.
@@ultra-ride2446 Shoei J.O solves an age old problem with retro looking helmets and attractive integrated drop-down visor. Any helmets with snap-on fasteners for face "shields" are a hair short of Frankenstein. It's a bolt-on solution, an unsightly afterthought. You might not like it but that doesn't mean others won't be keen to see it included. Peace!
Agree, and not only the Shoei J.O. There are plethora of others.
@@drazenbabich I'm referring to press stud fasteners to fit a retro/vintage peak rather than visor, but yes it can also accommodate a retro visor, which some may prefer or not. However, it wasn't the Shoei JO that solved the problem by fitting a drop down visor on an open face helmet, Premier Helmets was doing it years before Shoei.
@@ultra-ride2446 No Shoei wasn't the first, and I didn't state that.
What are the googles in your start screen for this video? They look great.
Cheers. Baruffaldi goggles.
Great Job
Hi can I buy the cheek padding seperet
Is that a specific face mask at the start of video or just a scarf ?
Unfortunately it's not a specific face mask it's a scarf.
Best helmets
Thank you...
What model Davida helmet is the one in the last pic where the wearer is wearing a checkered flag face covering? The one that a shield can be snapped to the helmet?
The helmet in the photo is the Davida 91, which is no longer available. If you order a helmet direct from Davida you have the option to add press studds to accommodate a face shield or peak.
What about biltwell bonanza
I want to ask the same question!
Limiting the video to 10 helmets inevitably means some helmets will be left out.
How about protec ?
How can i purchase?
Model your white jet agv??
Apparently, Eclectic Motorcycles is an importer for the UK. Emails directly to Japan go unanswered, unfortunately.
Eclectic Motorcycles prices are almost double that of Japan so I assumed they were not an agent that officially imports any quantity of TT&Co products.
@@ultra-ride2446 Have not priced the Eclectic in true comparison. After VAT, duties and shipping, these things (price differences) tend to shrink substantially. Then, there's the availability. If Japan does not answer emails, the point is moot anyway : ) So if Eclectic has what one is looking for, and the price is acceptable, then there's that. But who knows if Eclectic answers emails. Of course, there are other Asian sellers, but those would be "just" the regular line and not the Made in Tokyo line from what I can tell. The older one gets, the more one is invariably willing to pay for quality and get what one wants and end the greased-up goose chase : )
@@MidnightExpressMC I agree, we pay for what we want. Hendon is a good example!
@@ultra-ride2446 By the way, I now actually indeed finally got an email response from Tokyo. They informed me that they only do the 'Made in Tokyo' handcrafted and distressed ones in the novelty line, not the DOT. Hard to understand why, but so it is.
@@MidnightExpressMC That's good you got a reply. The ones described as novelty helmets are lower profile, which is typically a more desirable look but don't pass any safety standards. They probably sell more of those ones.
And still, none of them look as good as the old AGV beside you.
Which helmet have the smaller shell size? DMD size medium or tt&co super magnum size medium
I Don't know but TT&Co has shallower cheek pads.
Arai freeway classic
The Urban-V is the latest open face offering from Arai in the UK.
Avoid open chin helmets!!!!
