Shoei GT Air Two:
The new Shoei GT-Air 2 helmet is the long anticipated successor to the very successful original GT-AIR. The GT Air II is a sports touring helmet. Meaning it is an all-round full face helmet that has the comfort of a touring helmet. It has the looks of a sports helmet. Where the Shoei X-Spirit 3 is a real race helmet and the Shoei Neotec 2 is a real touring helmet, the GT-Air 2 kind of sits in between those two. It does both the jobs very well, but if you are looking for a full face to fly around the track with, the Shoei X-Spirit 3 is probably a better choice. And if you are regularly taking weekend trips on your touring bike, the Neotec 2 might be the better choice. The GT Air 2 will perfectly cover you for everything in between. The original GT-Air was one of the best fullface sport touring helmet, so it was quite a task to improve this. But we at Champion Helmets believe that Shoei has done a great job in making several improvements to this stable and comfortable helmet.

Shoei N XR:
The Shoei NRX is a comfortable sporty full-face helmet and it is the successor of the XR1100 Model.
Thanks to the special earpads in the Lining, the NXR is much more quiet than its competitors. This helmet has a compact outer shell with a slim aerodynamic shape. The advantage of a smaller outer shell is that you feel less pressure on the neck with small sizes. This drives more comfortable and enables you to be more concentrated. As a result of the compact outer shell The NXR is also lighter than its competitors: AGV Corsa, HJC Rpha11 and Shark Race-r Pro. The aerodynamic shape enables the NXR to cut through the wind easily. Characteristic for the NXR is the E.Q.R.S. safety system. This E.Q.R.S. safety system makes it possible to quickly remove the inner lining if necessary. Of course the NXR comes prepared for a communication system. The NXR comes with everything that a helmet needs, where simplicity is of the highest refinement.

IMO, Shoei really screwed up the GT Air II by designing it around the sub-par Sena system. Trying to put any other comm system on the helmet results in a very less-than-desirable result. I’ve seen a couple folks mount a Cardo Packtalk Bold on it, but the unit was located in a very awkward spot. Shoei should revise the shell and make the bottom rim like the original version so the end-user can put whatever system they want on it. I would have purchased a GT Air II in a heartbeat if that were the case. I’ve heard the same complaints from many others as well as the displeasure with the ratchet strap. I have to imagine these two things have cost Shoei a great deal of sales. I currently have a RF-1200, with the Transitions shield, it’s just about the perfect but it is a little loud. I’m waiting for a “corrected” GT Air III. Come on :)

How can the GT have twice the stars of the NXR regarding noise? The NXR supposedly has special ear pad lining that makes it heaps better than the predecessor (which must have been absolutely horrible compared to the GT) ??

Guys, I wanna order a helmet from you, but when I've tried both of them in a local shop here, I experienced that Shoei NXR fits to my head better than the GT-Air2?! ...So considering my headshape it seems the NXR fits perferct. But I wonder which other brands and models would also fit to me I want to learn other alternatives. I've tried many helmets from AGV, HCJ, MT, Scorpion etc. but none of them worked for me. Could someone tell me if they use NXR, which other helmet models do also fit to their head? It seems it's the only way I can learn my other alternatives. Thanks!
