New X Lite lid

[RichieS]

Has anyone tried the new X LITE X551 enduro helmet. looked and tried one on at HG yesteredey and seem to be the mutts, but curious about noise levels and build quality in the real world, not just the shop. Also, LOADS cheaper than a Tour X3

Seen this: http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcycle-helmet/x-lite-x-551/

Seems to be not that much cheaper than the Tour X3, but does have a sun visor ...

I must admit, they look very good, but not seen any pricing or tried one on.
Will be looking in to it though....

Interesting comments in the last thread about how much use the flip down sun visor is. I've got a unused Tour X dark visor as haven't felt the need to swap over the clear which has a hyper optics fog city on it, even after being in the Alps etc etc. Part of the not swapping is down to the faff changing over the visor though.

I can't see the X551 on the HG site at the moment, any ideas on how much they're asking?

So about the same as the Shoei then

Was pretty interested in this but can't justify the price TBH. I don't like the way that anything that is deemed an 'adventure touring' helmet automatically gets a massive price hike.
