Hi
No mine hasn't the lights apparently cos its the race rep and it keeps the weight down ,
Personally I love this helmet I have four helmets and this is the quietest out off them all

I bit the bullet :happy::happy: figured with free returns and money back guarantee, I'm safe!
My current helmet doesn't have a PinLock compatible visor, so that in itself was worth the purchase!

Yes great visor
It's recessed so fits perfectly,
I have the dark smoke and iridium red visor with dark smoke anti fog insert,
Only time I lift my visor is to put helmet on or off
Again good choice

I'm not in mood to share this until now, but shit happens, so here it is what happened two monts ago

This is the result of a front collision of my face on the cabin of a very small truck (Piaggio Porter) that cut my way as if i didn't exist, I've had no time for braking, a simply hit with the front fork and my body attached to the bar at circa 50 km/h

Sadly i can assure that the shoei NXR did the job i paid for, fortunately I haven't reported major damage to my person, no break bones, only a big muscle contracture at the back (hope i translated the right medical terms 😅)

And yes, the bike is not to trash away, it's waiting for new components and fully refound by insurance, next helmet NXR 2 i think, i like the scanner graphics

I tried out the Shark helmet for the first time this morning. I noticed a fair amount more wind noise through the visor. Is this normal? I did take the visor off to fit the PinLock, but putting it back on was really simple. It's almost like the visor doesn't seal properly?

Hi
I'd say not normal mine seals fine
Maybe take visor of and re fit

I recently decided to bit the bullet and go for the top spec Arai, since they fit my head shape and I really prefer their approach on “safety vs features”.

So RX-7V EVO IoM TT 2022, next to the 2-year old Renegade-V which now belongs to the Mrs. The difference between the two is quite significant
