Motocross Helmets

The ace special is ace

Excellent quality, light weight, excellent vision ,multiple visors available (the dark one makes it look really cool). Mine was a XL and is a really good snug fit. This is the fourth helmet of this type i have owned, but the first AGV and it is clearly the best by far.

Very comfy, but

Very comfortable - put on and forget like. Good visor with distinct steps and tight when closed. Pinlock, no fog inside while really foggy out. Good ventilation. The drawbacks are visor reflections and short peak - filed top screw lot. Riding towards low sun gets uneasy.

Superb

Ok, so my 'test' for this, my first Arai, was a quick 4200 miles round Europe in 13 days. I wore the helmet on 12 days and up to 630 miles / 12 hours and temperature ranges from 7 degrees to 37 degrees celcius. This helmet is supremely comfortable and the arrange of vents were excellent at varying temperature inside the lid. Even at 37C it didn't seem that hot. It's so light that wearing it for up to 12 hours was never a bother, even with blustery wet conditions. When I first got it, I thought the peak would be a pain on motorway runs but having replaced it after 580 miles (mainly due to the sun) I found that even at 90 mph it's not really a big problem. I left it on for the other 3600 odd miles. My one issue, resolved by the Arai service manager at the Assen GP was I hadn't fitted my Pinlock before leaving. I suffered irritating fogging which, despite all variations of the vents, only really resolved with the visor open a touch (yep, that ol' trick !). The Pinlock duly fitted, sadly at the end of my trip, cured the problem. I'd still rate this as a superb piece of kit.
