Re: Helmets

Use some good quality noise cancelling earplugs.

Have ordered 3M one's from Amazon.
Have to see if they're comfortable in longer runs.

Re: Helmets

Hello guys,
I recently bought MT revenge.
The wind noise from the helmet is unbearable when nearing to 100 kmph.
I got the visor side mounts replaced as the dealer said that was the one causing it.
After another 100 km the wind noise is back.
I'm planning to do a 500 km road trip and doing it in this is really difficult.
Please provide some solution guys, as in what to do.
Thank you

Re: Helmets

Thanks for the response!

This is going to be my first major helmet upgrade. you think I should stick to the CS15 or is it worth stretching the budget to get the CL17?

Also, how would you compare it to the Sol 68 S2?

Sorry for the follow up questions, as my range is till 10k, is there a better helmet or is it best to stick to HJC here?

It is definitely worth stretching to CL 17, it is a SNELL certified shell. Not that I consider SNELL a lot, but it is definitely speaking for quality of shell. DOT+SNELL 2015 it is.

Also, SOL is DOT certified, heavy and noisy.

I would stick to HJC myself in that budget.
You can additionally check ScorpionEXO 390 - lacks a double D ring closure though.

And goodluck.

Re: Helmets

CL17 is a much higher model, gets a better shell, double D ring closure.
No point comparing actually, get the CL17.

Re: Helmets

Hello fellow safe riders.

I was initially sold on getting the SOL 68S2 (any design) in a small size (sucks cos this is a size that is hardly available).

But recently, I was looking up more in to HJC and realized that there are 2 versions - The CS15 and the CL17.

I tried using the thread search tools but I was not able to locate an appropriate comparison.

Thoughts on the CL17 and if there are any differences between these 2 models?
I understand that the major cons here are the wind noise, but given the other choice for me is the SOL, i dont really mind that.

Safety is paramount.

Cheers!

Re: Helmets

Hello guys, my wife has brought a new yellow vespa lx125. I was searching for a good plain yellow full face helmet under 6k. Any suggestions?

SMK twister in yellow looks gorgeous. But for the wifey, I would recommend SMK stellar, not sure if available in yellow, but it is available in white.

Re: Helmets

Ad I said, it is about the helmet shape, not the brand shape. Same brand will have many helmets in different shapes.

Hmm, but I didn't like other helmets in the same brand. So have to change brand all together.

Re: Helmets

I almost tried everything but the sound is still there. Maybe its the shape of my head and the SMK brand shape and size.
Tried with baclava also, but didnt help much.

Thinking of returning it and trying some other brand.

Maybe the visor isn't shut properly.

Re: Helmets

Tried a one smaller sized helmet of fame brand and in that also sound is therr.

May be I'm mistaking some other sound as wind noise.
The sound is like if u keep a slight crack open in the window and if there is fast moving air,, how the air will try to get in and make a continuous sound.. Its like that.. Don't know how to put it in better words [emoji20][emoji20]

Maybe the visor isn't shut properly.

Re: Helmets

Did you try the guide? The helmet may be loose for you or the incorrect shape.

Is the sound like howling wind?

Ya I did try the guide .. No its not like howling sound. Its like how if clothes make noise if they are in strong wind..
