Arai Tour X5 - Trail Yellow Had the Tour x4 previously, this looks better especially with the visor removal and vents
Bell Custom 500 - Edge Gloss Brown / Gold The Bell Custom 500 is impressively lightweight, making it a pleasure to wear even on longer rides. The gloss brown and gold paint scheme is beautifully done and pairs perfectly with my motorcycle. The interior padding feels premium and comfortable, giving the helmet a high-quality finish throughout. I also appreciate the classic double-D ring fastening — secure, reliable, and exactly what you want on a retro-inspired lid. A timeless helmet done right.
Leatt ADV 9.5 Carbon - Carbon Leatt 9.5 carbon is a premium lid feels quality and very comfortable. It’s light and comes with a photochromic visor.
Nolan N40-5 Classico - Metal White After trying on an LS2 Verso and one other helmet (no longer available) I chose the Nolan as it was the best fit for me and oozed quality that the others didn't have. I have done a lot of riding with it on and have found it very comfortable in both hot and cold weather. The air vent on the top is easy to use and effective. I wear glasses and this is the first helmet I've had where the drop down sun shade can be used without fouling on my glasses. The sun shade is also easy to use. I ride two scooters, both fitted with windshields, and the helmet is quiet enough not to need ear plugs even at motorway speeds, which is also a first for me. I really hope they make these helmets for a long time because I will definitely buy this model again.
Nolan N40-5 GT ECE 22.06 N-Com - Classic Metal White A helmet that you can change according to your needs . A comfortable fit with good visibility a peak you can move up and down to cut out the sun , drop down sun visor and removable chin bar for those hot days. Very pleased with my purchase only slight downside is the wind noise, not excessive but no problem if you wear ear plugs, Recommend.
Nolan X-903 Ultra Carbon Verniciatura Speciale - Carbon / Pearl White / Black This helmet has fit perfectly from day 1. The lining is extremely comfortable. Everything works as it should, and it has some interesting features with the magnetic visor. I think for budget carbon helmet it is top quality, and the colour scheme is a great addition as well. The classic d-ring fixing is as good as it needs to be. As a glasses wearer I found the helmet does not ventilate very well with the visor down at standstill, but when you're on the move it seems to work fine. I will likely leave the chin guard at home to help improve ventilation.
Arai Quantic - Abstract Red If Arai helmets fit your head the quality, comfort and finish are the best.
