There are no cabon fibers in shoei’s AIM. It is present in the AIM+ material. Any idea why the nxr 2 gets an aim shell vs the aim+ shell the rf1400 gets in the US? Aim+ which has 6 layers is the more advanced material mix compared to the aim which is 5 layers. Is the NXR2 inferior compared to the rf1400 due to the difference in material mix and weights?
Simpson is popular with cruisers, and personally, i love the Bell Broozer. Fighter pilot style. But for all out comfort and safety, you can't go wrong with Arai. It might not be the style for the bike, but it's like a pillow on your head, so dam, comfy.
Help please? I'm getting a lot of noise from my original Shoei Neotec while riding on a Can-Am Spyder touring roadster. Which helmet would you recommend for a woman who's looking for quiet and comfortable.
That's a good question! We started using a new microphone which somehow causes this noise, so we've since replaced it. But the videos that had already been shot still carry the noise, sadly.
You shouldn't recommend a helmet that scores 3 stars - out of 5 - in the SHARP tests. A helmet's main function is to adequately protect the wearer's head in case of a crash, and the Nexx X.R2 fails at that.
Thanks for your comment. Although you do make an interesting point, we do not necessarily follow SHARP religiously. None of the other helmets have even been tested by SHARP at this point, and even with a 3-star rating the Nexx still scores above average. For the price it is a well-made and strong helmet. More protection is always better, so the Shoei or Arai lids might be your best bet, especially on the track - that's why they're ranked as no. 1 and no. 2 respectively.
SHARP is outdated and nowhere near comprehensive enough. Your safest bet for comprehensive protection is any helmet with FIM homologation. The Scorpion Exo R-1 in size small (and only small!) is an example of an FIM helmet that can be easily obtained. ECE 22.06 rating follows very closely and is more widely available to consumers, Arai exceeds 22.06 standards consistently and have been doing so since the days of 22.05 - it’s no wonder they were the first manufacturer to get that 22.06 sticker slapped on a lid.
Great vid. Now considering purchasing the Arai helmet but not sure of the pro shade being on outside and easily getting dirt on it. I’ve seen some ads on photochromatic pin-locks? Any thoughts on these if you’ve tried them?
Don't bother with the photochromic pinlock, almost all visors block UV and that's what it needs to tint so it only tints a small amount. If you want a proper photochromic visor get a helmet model with a transitions visor, my Shoei RYD has one and it works properly. I believe one will come out for the NXR2 eventually as well, I was really interested in the Arai Quantic too but after using a transitions visor I don't think I can deal with the pro shade.
I pick AGV directly :)))))))))) Cuz you know, they make a good marketing and well-known in some countries, people who hear about AGV, they buy and do not think again!!! Look like me
I had nexx long time ago and I it's my favorite but I have arai head and nexx is closer to shoei fitment, it hurts my heart because it's very very very great.

You have lovely nails for a biker!
I wish! We use stunt nails in these videos. Imagine how expensive it would be if the real things took damage...
@@FortaMoto wha?
Oh my!!!
Quite a flair for good jewellery too!
😆
Arai Quantic vs Shoei NXR 2?
The presenter is spot on. You ware made for this! Great job!
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the review, helping me decide which helmet to buy. I have a large head so it will be either the Shoei or the Arai.

The cuts from the guy describing the helmet and the woman's hand is comical!
Funny to see the white nail polish when shot the details
Just ordered an Honda Rebel, any full face helmet recommendation that looks good with a cruiser bike?

No ruroc?

Where is the clattering noise coming from?

I thought the noise is from his nails clacking the helmets

"Soundproof"
No such thing. I know it sounds crazy but wear earplugs
Thank you amazing review
Where's the roruc 4.0?
Only Ruroc sells Ruroc.
@@FortaMoto I know I have one
I'm a minute into this video and your chain rattling against your lav mic is doing my head in lol
don't worry, I stuck with it haha
I sometimes dress my hands up like that too so my special times alone are even more special.
agv k6 or exo r1 air
bonjour vous passe quoi pour le casque shoei x14 fortnine
Can you customize the nxr2 head to neutral shape?
Wanted to get the k6 but literally everyone has that, a simpson bandit and a ruroc

Nice informative video! Well done!
Nice video!
Great comparison video. Only wish you would’ve included some actual rider comments on each.
Looking forward to future reviews and comparisons.
👍👍
Thanks for your comment, I'll try to incorporate this more in future videos! Looking forward to seeing you back then.
I am surprised you didn’t where your white nail varnish for the whole video, think it suits you. 😉
Thank you! Always leave them wanting more...
KYT NX RACE carbon is the best👍👍👍
Very good! Well made indeed!
대단히 감사합니다.ㅎ
WHAT IS THAT FIDGETING SOUND!!

@@FortaMoto no worries, the content is what matters, and you guys bring some of the best reviews and perspectives out there .Thank you for the videos
@@paulk9188 cheers, Paul. I appreciate that! Thanks for watching, ride safe :).
Dear god... Those were some pretty nails
Great video apart from the really annoying clattering sounds, put me off watching whole vid such a shame 😑
Dude, the painted nails .. wtf? Took me a while to get whats going on. lol 😏
Still soooo confused...
Nice women man hands
It’s 2022. Time stamps.
You can find the time stamps in the video description, and we even put them there all the way back in 2021!
sorry can't agree. AGV liners are awful and cant have a clear fit. ALL of its model.
Great reviews. But I wanna see the model with the white nails. SEXY HANDS!!
