I have the Rpha 71 and GTair 2. I dislike the 71 because though the noise test was 98 db, it's much much louder since air tends to rush underneath the helmet. Venting is great but comes at the cost of noise isolation. Both helmets are heavy which im not a fan of because long rides are fatiguing. Although I dont have the GTair3, i do know the price is rather high. It's offensively high. My favorite helmets still after all these years are the Rpha 70 and Gtair 2. Seems like the 2024-25 gen helmets took a step backwards.
I feel like in this analysis, as in most of your others, you don't focus enough on visor detent. I've owned the previous versions of both helmets, and although I prefer the fit (among other things) of the RPHA 70 it's weak detent is a real problem for me at speed. From what I've read the RPHA 71 has a similar problem. I'm looking at Scorpion and Nexx. It would be very helpful if you'd find a way to measure the strength and location of the major detent locations and include this in your reviews.
I sure hope that the fixed the lousy ratchet system which is way to weak to keep the visor in place at any speed above 45-50mp. That’s the reason why I barely wear my RAPHA91 on longer trips.

Exactly, the detention system stinks.
