Advice & Guides You'd be surprised how many riders wear a helmet that's too big for them. Here's how to tell if a lid really fits you...
I'm genuinely blown away by how good this helmet is. The ANC genuinely works in that there's no difference when wearing ear plugs. The audio is clear and can be heard at xxxmph. I have a BMW R1250RT...but with a short sport screen in the lower position. One advantage I have is that I have small ears as such they fit into the ear recesses easily. I think this is wear it works so well for me. Odd but true. The tail/brake light is great as is the headlight. BMW still haven't realised how good back light switch is but the tiny light illuminates the bikes cockpit. In terms of build quality I'd put it on a par with a mid priced AGV. I love it, it's now my go to lid and I really hope they bring out a flip version for touring too. Great job Sena. For the money it's incredible VFM.
I just used it for 2700 miles trip, Audi great noise cancellation perfect. Visor not great in Spain had to setting up or down no between just to let air in. Sun visor good nothing to report there. Air ventilation are just adequate my head was hot.
Bought this helmet as don’t like wearing ear plugs, just rode a 5 day trip around Scotland and must say very impressed. Noise cancelling was great, can hear the bike and music so clearly, but hardly any wind noise brilliant
There, I said it - I've never had a quieter helmet. On my bike and for my height the helmet still gets direct wind impact and yet it's still so quiet I could /almost/ use it without earplugs. Almost. I am certainly looking for some less dense ones as the cathedral-like silence is almost unnerving.
The headset functionality is normal Sena quality - connects easily and stays connected to my iPhone- and the audio is easily heard. I don't normally take phone calls so I can't comment on the effectiveness of the microphone noise rejection but with other helmets the caller often doesn't know I'm on a bike and I expect this will be the same.
The helmet itself has new helmet snugness but is very comfortable - for a full face anyway. I prefer flip up helmets but this is good. It's a Schuberth model so it was always going to be quiet and good quality, and the controls on this are easy to use with summer gloves. The vents and sunshade are also Easy to use.
The lights are a nice bonus - you won't want the front light unless you're looking for the ignition at night but the rear lights are cool and effective.
Vision from the helmet is decent and the only thing I'd improve is a quick clip rather than the usual double-D strap which is fitted. It's a small faff but a faff nonetheless.
All in all this helmet ticks all the boxes you'd expect and is also very quiet and well equipped with nicely integrated electronics.
Want sure what to expect but I decided to give it a go. The helmet is comfortable, seems well ventilated so far although it's been warm & dry so will wait to see if digging becomes an issue later in the year.
The ANC is very good, combined with good speakers for music, wind noise is noticeably less than any other helmet I've had. Obviously there is an air gap between ears & speakers so the ANC can never be as powerful as good headphones, but I don't expect hearing nothing would be too safe anyway.
I like ambient mode. Great to hear everything going on without having to take the helmet off. Very helpful for quick fuel stops.
Definitely recommend & using daily in place of my Quantic
