I fancy a new lid and quite fancy this one. I've heard it's a bit noisy, which is annoying, but my main worry is that the colour scheme is a bit.....flamboyant for me. What do you reckon? They do it in a gloss finish too, but that's way to flash.
I think on the noise level it'll probably be lower than Mrs K's snoring so I wouldn't worry too much about that Nice lid...very 'stealth' like.....the only issue I've had with my Arais is the visor changing mechanism, but I gather they've changed it on the new ones & it's better
I've fancied an Arai for a while, but nobody has a good word to say about their soundproofing. I do like black gear though.
My last Arai chaser v was certainly quieter than the shoei nxr I've got now. I think a lot of the light/race lids are noisy. Chin curtain & ear plugs have helped a bit.
i have just bought the same colour but different model arai. They have changed the visor fitting which I found a lot easier also the side pods are smaller so less noisy?
Here's one for you to look at ken! Extremely light and well made, only heard good things and is certainly what I'm looking for come April time X-lite x802rr puro carbon about £300
This is quite an interesting video - he explains a bit more about each one. Being US they have different model names. There is also another video of the next tier which I haven't watched but include here also Next premium price point:
If I where you I would be going for the noisiest lid you can buy, it might, just might drown out the voices in your head.
Like the look of the Orange/Black Bell helmet as featured in the STG video would match the Repsol well . Would be good to see some of our motorcycle clothing sellers do product reviews like these US companies.
Yep I prefer it to this year's arai tt colour scheme. In fact I like it that much I can feel my money for a new lounge carpet sliding over towards the lid .....which is your fault for posting the orange one up
