    Treated myself to a new lid.

    Previous model is the faithful XR1100 in Diabolic Divinity Guise. New model is the 2016 NXR Valkyrie in obviously Black N Red scheme.

    It's beautiful. The fleck in the paint is awesome.

    Great helmets these. Got a NXR recently, lightweight, aerodynamic, quiet (ish) and stylish. And good that they can supply different thickness cheek pads for the perfect fit.

    After using AGV for years I switched to a Shoei NXR last year and found it amazing. Light,comfy and just feels so well made. Bought myself a Neotec this year for touring,little bit heavier but still a perfect fit and quality finish:cool:

    I haven't yet ridden with the new lid. I also have an old Neotec too, which is nice and comfy, but the flip front isn't great.

    I dabbled with Shark last year, but couldn't get on with it, and went straight back to Shoei. They are a perfect lid, but with so many variations to choose from lol.

    @Blade runner......I had the liner changed in the shop. I was on the cusp of M or L, so they decided on L and added a 13mm Liner. Its lovely.

    Oh and by the way.....Helmet City in Surrey are superb, if you fancy buying from there.

    Got mine from Helmet City online, best price on the internet and excellent to deal with.
