A well designed and well made helmet which is both quiet and comfortable. I wear glasses and use in-ear headphones, both of which fit comfortably, with the latter giving an excellent sound in the absence of any Continue reading...
An excellent lid, which gets used everyday in all weathers. It's my 3rd Shoei, bought to replace my ageing Raid 2 (which is still completely serviceable) and will no doubt be replaced by yet another Shoei. Continue reading...
My XR1100 replaced my XR1000 and wil no doubt be replaced by an XR1200 if/when that comes out. Can't go wrong with a Shoei. Continue reading...

I have quite a few different helmets and this one is the best by far. It is a great fit - snug yet comfortable and my glasses go on with no problems. I find it quieter than my other lids but, as has been mentioned, it gets a bit noisier with all the vents open which is, I guess, to be expected.
The wide view pinlock is brilliant - gives you loads of peripheral vision. We have tinted pinlocks fitted and because of their size it is as good as having a tinted visor. Removal of the visor is without doubt the best I have ever tried - it is so easy.It isn't cheap and that is probably the main criticism - but, as ever, you get what you pay for. I give it a 10 out of 10 as it does everything I need in a very lightweight package - But, as has been said before, try the helmets on as they are different shapes and you may not be a Shoei head!
