Shark Spartan RS Carbon - Shawn Matt Carbon / Silver / Anthracite I love my new helmet so far. It feels light compared to my old shark helmet but not sure of the weight, just feels good. The visor system is different to my old helmet so taking some getting used to the centre clip for opening, it is smooth to alter position and stays put in whatever position you open it to. The drop down sun visor is excellent, comes down nice and low and can be lifted to different heights. The air vents seem to work well because I have had to close them to keep the top of my head warm, should be good in the summer. The chinstrap on my old helmet had a magnet to hold the loose end, this has a pressure stud, I would prefer a magnet but ah well. Fitted my old intercom system ok with clip to the side. Comes with a dark visor, which is excellent, it is even good with drop down when sunny.
This was not the helmet I went to buy, but ended up buying after trying the helmet I wanted. Tried every helmet on the shop shelf. For fit, looks and price it was perfect.
Shoei Neotec 3 - White Helmet is very comfortable. I did find to start pinlock obscured my vision when looling back to start. Im now more used to it but would be nice if they made a visor to sort this
HJC F71 - Bard Red I had decided to buy the carbon fibre version of the F71, but when I visited the Leeds store and saw the deal being offered on the helmet I bought, I couldn't resist.
Airoh Bandit - Tune Blue / Red Never had Airoh before now and it’s well made comfortable and looks the part definitely recommend them.
Bell Custom 500 - Parlor Matt Black / White The open face bell helmet range are a great blend of Retro style with modern materials and quality. They sit perfectly snug on your head and don’t have that huge egg head look other helmets have, the internal padding assures comfort at all times.
Scorpion Exo-1400 Evo Carbon Air - Solid Black Looks great , feels great . Maybe jst a bit wind noisey
SMK Typhoon - Gloss Pink / Green Love this helmet , wasn't expensive but good quality. The colour changes depending on the angle you look at it , also has pop down shades which is handy
