Happy new helmet

Had a few x-lite carbon helmets but now got an adventure bike so thought I would go for a peak and internal sun visor. Wind noise good and seal from the visor good. Can be a bit tricky to close the visor when fully open due to the peak but you get used to it, internal sun visor tab should be a little bigger. Build quality good and the internals for fitting speakers etc are very good, fitted my Cardo in no time with all the built in wire channels etc. I would have given it 5 but due to the visor being difficult to close and the internal sun visor closure tab should be a little bigger for gloves.

Top Helmet

This is the second X-lite helmet that I have owned . My previous one was the X-551
The improved X-552 has certainly raised the bar. The internal visor comes down nice and low and is easy to operate. The visor has a really solid and positive adjustment mechanism.
You get a good field of view and the peak is nice and solid with not much vibration.
It's not the quietest of helmets but wear earplugs and the noise level is acceptable.
Build quality is top notch. The interior padding is very comfortable and adjustable which is great. I'm very pleased with the helmet.
Sportsbikeshop staff as usual were very helpful and friendly.
