Helmet review: Arai RX-7 GP Spencer replica

Chris Newbigging, 17 September 2010 14:00

Arai RX-7 GP Spencer replica, £579.99Miles covered/time: Three months/2000 milesWhat’s good? This was a treasured helmet. Freddie designed the original himself, and Arai’s latest homage adds only silver pinstriping and nicer paint finish – it’s a classic race rep. Sadly it’s already been written off – in a moderately violent lowside, it was smacked on initial impact and then bounced ...

Helmet review: Shark RSR2 carbon

Simon Relph, 10 September 2010 17:57

Shark RSR2 carbon, £449.99Miles covered/time: 2800/11 monthsWhat’s good? I tend to wear this on a daily basis as my commuter helmet, it’s very smart looking with its carbon/kevlar finish on the lower part. A very easy to change visor system, with probably the sturdiest visor I have ever come across, at 3mm thick, it is dual treated so it is ...

Helmet review: AGV S4

Dan Aspel, 10 August 2010 16:26

AGV S4 Helmet, £129.99Miles covered/time: 7000/nine months What’s good? Pretty much everything. It’s lightweight, well ventilated and the design is absolutely eye-grabbing. The lining is supportive, comfy, hasn’t become at all baggy in nine months of riding and it’s removable, too. Save £££s on motorcycle helmets Best of all it’s extremely quiet and you can easily listen to an MP3 ...

Kit review: Arai Tour-X

Michael Neeves, 07 July 2010 11:40

Arai Tour-X, £354.99 (plain white)Miles covered/time: 1500/two months What's good? I've worn this when testing adventure bikes and supermotos and if you remove the visor you can wear it with goggles and use it off-road, too. It's very versatile and I think is cool-looking. I thought the wind would get under the peak and try and yank the helmet up ...

Kit review: AGV T2

Liam Marsden, 17 June 2010 10:01

AGV T2, £269.99 (on www.mcnshop.com)Miles covered/time: 2000/two months What’s good? After trying several different makes of helmet to find the right fit for me I went for an AGV on the recommendation of a colleague. The first few times I wore the lid it was uncomfy round the ears, but the lining soon bedded in to the shape of my ...

Kit review: Arai RX-7 GP Hiroshi Aoyama replica

Chris Newbigging, 09 June 2010 15:33

Arai RX-7 GP Hiroshi Aoyama replica, £589.99 Miles covered/time: 5000 miles/seven race weekends/one year What’s good? The fit. No matter what anyone says, some helmets will only suit some head shapes. I’ve never fitted in an Arai properly – but the RX7 is a subtly different shape to preceding models, and gives me a touch more room around my mouth ...

Goggle review: Aviator Retro Pilot T2

Marc Abbott, 03 June 2010 16:11

Aviator Retro Pilot T2 goggles, £95 (dark lenses extra £25)Miles covered/time: 900/two months   What’s good? They look fantastic, especially with the optional dark lenses fitted. Provided you remember to pull them on when setting off (many’s the time I’ve had to suddenly go no-handed on the dual carriageway when I realise I’m crying) they’re terribly comfortable once on the move, ...

Helmet review: Davida Jet helmet

Marc Abbott, 03 June 2010 16:07

Davida Jet helmet, £235  Miles covered/time: 900/two months What’s good? Off-white is the new black. I have never seen, let alone owned, a helmet that looked quite this cool straight out of the box. It’s also incredibly quiet – really quite frighteningly so. In fact, I’ve not once worn earplugs while I’ve worn this lid. I have to wear a ...

Helmet review: Shoei Hornet DS

Ian Jubb, 18 May 2010 13:54

Shoei Hornet DS, £370Miles covered/time: 4000/two months What’s good? Finally I’ve found a helmet that doesn’t leave me with a painful pressure sore on my forehead. Save £££s on motorcycle helmets Being in a motocross style it has buckets of space in front of my face which makes it less claustrophobic to wear. A clip-in draft excluder (included) works perfectly ...

Kit review - HJC HQ-1 Spies

Chris Newbigging & Carl Newbigging, 11 May 2010 15:37

HJC HQ-1 Spies £284.99Miles covered/time: Two years/countless races What’s good? Crash protection with this HQ-1 has been proved – I lent it to my younger brother to use for racing, rather than the cheap lid he had. An embarrassing new-tyre highside fired numbnuts straight up, then down on the back of the helmet. It was a slow crash admittedly, but ...
