Re: Best Visiblity On A Street Helmet Is?

I love my Italian Nolan helmets, huge view, breathe easy, superlight and solid, and the insides pull out to wash. I have a couple left on clearance, and hook anyone up from stuntlife....these really are sick at the normal $400 price, much less my price. They are selling fast and I have sold out of a lot of sizes, if anyone wants one holla asap!

Re: Best Visiblity On A Street Helmet Is?

stock05 i really like the supermotard helmet thats filthy!

the clean looks of a street helmet but the visibility of a DB helmet...


ever since i went db helmet i got a little better at riding i think its the fact that i can see and hear my bike which gives me greater confidence...

full face is like riding with ear plugs and blind! and i cant ride blind like the og's haha

Even though they are kind of shitty helmets... HJC has really good view. They are cheap, and you get what you pay for but they are starting to come out with some better designs and ****.

Re: Best Visiblity On A Street Helmet Is?

I wear the shoei X11 bomstrom edition i thought it looked cool as far as graphics when i bought it. Of course when i bought my bike i thought gsxr's were cool to lol......Its by far the most comfortable helmet i have ever worn by far and it has pretty decent visibility to me....but the paint scheme on it is ugly and it cost about 800 dollas

i think having the broad view and being able to hear your bike makes you more comfortable riding, cant really explain why, but thats just my .


p.s. like previously stated my only gripe is those motard helmets cost, but more than likely, im going to break down and buy one when i get my next bike.

the last helmet i remeber having good visibility was Icon


is there another helmet with wider/longer opening?

im almost thinking of going open face but that doest look as good to me

The last 3 years i rode with trail helmets and now i am riding with street helmet.
Im sponsored by Shoei helmets and im using the Xr1000 now, thats the same as the Rf1000 that you guys have in US.

In the beginning i had to get used to not seeing the pegs for example when i was going to ralph louie.
But now im used to it and i like it alot!

Re: Best Visiblity On A Street Helmet Is?

check out Wiki helmets(www.wikidesigns.com), they breath great, very light weight, great visibility, washable liners, Photocromatic shields, hear the bike very well in them,etc......
i use to rock shoei, and arai was light but didnt feel that GREAT like everyone says.


i rock this WIKI helmet, it has a design all it's own!
