I have spent years thinking I had an Arai shaped head
My Arai RX7 was, on the SF a bit wobbly at speeding is a bit heavy for a naked bike resulting in an aching neck after a couple of hundred miles although I felt it fitted me perfectly so I started looking at what I might fancy as a replacement
I visited a well known Helmet Emporium to day with a list of helmets with the Bell Race star carbon top of the list
The Bell is a lovely thing but just didnt fit right
I tried on many others including AGV Pista which is a beautiful thing but a bit too race focused with no chance of fitting the Senna and permanently open vents
HJC again not a good fit same applies to the X Lite and the shark
it wasn't on the list as they dont fit me well but I tried on a Shoei X Spirit 3
Wow what have they done - it fits so well so much better that my current Arai
It must just be the X Spirit as the NXR2 felt like all the Shoei I have tried
Parted from some cash I am very happy and it is so light and comfy I expect great things ***
***Probably be as noisy as fuck on the bike
