Best helmet for about $600 ? Got an insurance check coming for a new lid and had my eye on this shoei but seems like id be paying more for the graphics cuz the flat colors of the RF1200 are quite a bit cheaper.
I have the base black, its cool but gotten louder and I am no sure why. I have had it since october so it could be time to replace pads and my chin curtain is super stretched. Sometimes I am not sure if the helmet is venting or not until I come to a stop sweat a little then move. I do not regret buying the helmet by far my last was a scorpion EXO-400 I was loud but i did like it. I don’t think you would be totally disappointed but I do feel there are some short comings, people i know that went from this to AGV seem happier.
Found this one for $600. I like it a lot. The field of vision is so large that it took some getting used to.. My last Arai was a little more comfy though.
it dont affect me cause i dont ride track. but i personally like my carbon fiber icon variant . Its snug and has room for the sena. Had a shoie rf1100 before it, id rather wear the variant. Alot of people on here arent a fan of them. I have no complaints
The rf-1200 is a nice helmet. I high-sided kinda nasty this spring and luckily broke my fall with the helmet. Minor concussion was all I got and I’m totally happy with that performance.

For $600 you could buy almost any premium helmet in a solid. I picked up a x14 for under that price
I’ll see what’s up. So what AGV model is comparable to this ?
corsa
X2 for Corsa
Isnt there different lines of the corsa?
Find one that fits you correctly.
I wear shoei and bell predominately. Tried a few agv and they just don’t work for me. I have an arai now but it’s kinda odd fitting.
Arai Quantum X or Signet X, depending on headshape. Or the Defiant too, all three have different shapes, so whichever fits best.
Best thing I have learned is try them on, you may not like what preferred by others
Matte black x14
Or a close out corsa

You need an ecu flash from nick marino
Suomy SR is a very nice helmet.
Yea ima scope out a few. Only thing is I don’t have alot of places around me that carries them so would be hard for me to try others on
I see you upped it to a 15 very nice let’s ride again soon bro lol
guys that are running the corsa, can you fit your Sena bluetooth in there without it being to uncomfortable ?
X-14
I switched to shoei gt air.. over run the rf for years also great helmet
Nexx makes nice helmets
I paid around 600 for both my shoei gt-air helmets. They are both graphics.
Airoh Gp500 or ST701

I was thinking of getting this color scheme but thinking it might be to much blue considering my bike is blue.

Lol black on black tho
My old rf saved my life
forgot to add, if you get the 1200 do not attach any go pro mount. mine became unstable once i removed them all back to normal.
