Shoei NXR 2 - Shine Red

Perfect fit, top quality build but most of all comfortable!
Which makes wearing it even more of a pleasure

well made, and comfortable, nice and quiet, but like in all Lids I still use (and recommend) ear plugs.
I like the doubleD chinstrap buckle, it may be old school BUT it gives a secure fixing.
Pinlock is also great and does a good job.
Lack of a sun visor isn't a problem, as glasses fit into sides of helmet really well.
Light enough to be worn all day and would recommend Shoei, price is worth it.

Upgrading my first ever helmet after 5 years I wanted a premium product, so naturally went for Shoei/Arai. Really good light, ventilated lid for the money. The liner feels very good quality. As a sport touring lid it really does miss out from a drop down sun visor and I find the Double D fastener more fiddly than a ratchet I'm used to. Can easily slip sunglasses in to counter the lack of a sun visor. Visor replacements are available but not the cheapest.

Thus is my third NXR and the latest model us an improvement over the original. In particular the larger aperture

Not so keen in the extra button required to open the visor, but having the visor opening lever in the middle is much better than on the left of the previous model

Bought this to replace my old Shoei XR1100, which was a fantastic helmet. This looked great out of the box and made my old helmet look dated. The fit is a little more snug but still very comfortable. Air flow is great. It’s not a cheap helmet but you get what you pay for.

Good quality, fits well, light, great looking.

Not quite the right fit for sadly. Very premium feel and I like the style but it was a little too tight so sticking with HJC

good product I believe you get what you pay for

Firm cheek pads hold it snug to your face, quality chin curtain and vents work well, what is not to like, does everything you expect from a shoei helmet.

Deffo an upgrade from my RPHA 11 .... which was also a great helmet, but this just feels more premium and comfortable. Would recommend!

I purchased this having had HJC helmets prior and I do understand why you pay the price for the premium. The finish on this is lovely, it's snug, comfortable, and considerably lighter weight as well as much quieter than my old helmet. Shout out to the staff at SBS Reading who took a lot of time helping me with sizing and trying different cheek pads. This was, I will note, the only Shoei helmet that was small enough to fit me in a XS in the range, I did try the XXS, but comparatively the XS was too big in other Shoei models. I don't miss the drop down visor tho simply because the quality is so good.

I have been everywhere trying to get an xs helmet and found exactly what I needed at this shop with help from the friendly staff

After trying another (cheaper) brand have returned to Shoei and have no regrets. Excellent fit and finish, you get what you pay for. SBS's excellent try before you buy sealed the deal.

Got it as a 40th gift to myself.
Coming from HJC. My Shoei lighter, sturdy, great graphics. Very happy
