Bought one a week ago. Well pleased.
I am a serial helmet buyer - bought the BMW Enduro thingy last year, but was disappointed with the booming noise & 'crushed ear-syndrome.'
Having owned a System IV (excellent bit of kit
) I bought a System V, but took it back after 5 minutes. The chin vent plastic thingy was loose, and the 1200GS screen eddying caused the vent to vibrate. Many of the System Vs in the Dealer seemed to have this problem. Not so with the Multitec. It's well made, exceptionally quiet, comfortable, looks more like a full face, good value, and is lighter than the IV. It is easy to use one-handed, and doesn't require the 2-hand-double-click-side-shuffle of the IV.
Downsides are;
- It was advertised initially in many colours (I ordered blue). However, they are only available in the UK in White, Silver & Black (shiny or matt). The UK brochure has been amended. If you manage to find a colour one, it's probably from the Continent. I bought a matt black one, which looks cool, but may be too hot in the summer
- The visors often have a small gap at the top (towards the sides between the visor & rubber seal). This is especially true when the smoked visor is fitted. It is very very very easy to adjust (instructions are provided), and the effort is worthwhile. If you haven't checked/adjusted & you think yours is quiet, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
- The neck comfort thing is tricky to fit if you buy a small helmet. But not impossible.
Overall, for £260 (inc. 2 visors + pinlock), I fully recommend serious consideration if you're after a flip-lid.
(Any tips in that direction will be greatly appreciated Rich) IMHO this lid looks better than any of the other flip-ups, and is superb value for money when you consider the extras thrown in.
