Shoei Alternative to Arai Tour X ??

[Andy Hird]

Hi All,

I saw a similar Shoei helmet to the Arai Tour X (visor and peak) a while back, but can't remember it's name. Anyone know what it's called, and is it only available in Japan.

Just can't get on with my Tour X, it absolutely kills my ears, and it's very load, and very drafty.

Cheers,

Andy

That'll be the Shoei V Moto I think...have a look here

Doesn't look, from the pictures, as though it has a visor built in, unlike the Tour-X.

Am I wrong?

No that's not the one. The one I saw had a visor like the Tour X.

A freind of mine has one of these and rates it very highly. Here are a few more pictures from the Shoei Japan site . http://www.shoeihelmet.co.jp/hellineup/offroad/h_horadmix.html

I had a try of one of these last year whilst in Japan and the quality wasn't as good as the Arai. For me it wasn't as comfy either althougfh we all have different shaped heads.

I must admit the Tour-x field of view does it for me, just great.
