    Been looking for a new lid for a while. Had my heart set on a Schuberth SR1, lovely, just didn't fit.

    But I've come across a lot of hype regarding the NEXX Carbon.

    I know a few of the guys on here have got 'em. So what do you think?

    I'm looking for a quality product, light, quiet... it seems to tick these boxes, but how are they to live with?

    I've always been an Arai wearer, they fit. But if the NEXX is as good as they sound, especially for the price, and it fits, then i'm in.

    Many thanks in advance people

    Cheers

    Mike

    Icarus has one mate - it looks lovely in the flesh and he rates it big time. Will be along soon no doubt. ;)

    they come with extra pads that you can fit into the helmet to make them fit better , they are very light and very stable at high speeds too

    Great lid. Best i,ve owned. Took a while to sort pads to get fit right. Wee bit noisy but always use plugs anyway. All this is ftom memory as blade hasnt turned a wheel in months.:-(

    Yep I've got one and I love it, it was very noisy when I first got it but adjusted the visor to fit properly and it's a lot quieter now. The new quick release system makes it even quieter again. I wear ear plugs and always have so it was never really an issue. The high speed stability is fantastic and I've never had any 'buffeting' wearing it, even with cross winds and at over 140mph (on track of course).

    I highly recommend one but not in White/red/carbon as I have dibs on that colour.

    But I have no idea why the 'Bonus' in my post now brings up a sort of link thingy to 'Inbox Pounds'.





    The interweb is weird. I swear it's watching me.
