Great review. Straight to point and lots of good info

[motoboyTUGA]

Very well explained mate. Great work you guys did. Congrats. Regards from Portugal.

A very important note here which is personally the reason I'm opting for the K6.
The K6 on the sharp rating was all green on the impact zones, meaning it transferred the least force to the head and thus mildy safer than the nxr2 which had side impact yellow zones.
Both are excellent options though.

My NXR2 whistles at 25-30mph with the visor cracked open. For me the visor would be a -10 at least. It won't stay at one notch, drops shut and has to be constantly fully latched and opened in traffic.

Great review....I have the Shoei NXR 2 and agree with the findings....after looking at other options, I bought it bc it came in the Italian colours!😃

What would be the Arai in this cathegory ?

[MotoGoato]

Shoei for me ... tried the K6 and found that it is just a bit too compact, the chin bar sits very close to the face and was constantly touching my chin and overall the helmet was just a tiny bit too small even in exactly the same size as my previous S4-SV and K5-S (which both fit me just fine). I've now swapped over to the NXR2 which is the best fitting and most comfortable helmet I've worn in over 25 years of riding. The lining is plush with high quality padding and is extremely customisable for fit and comfort should the need arise. The venting is better than the AGVs .. more air onto the inside of the visor and over the scalp. It is lightweight and aerodynamic, stable at silly speeds with little to no lift and minimal buffeting even on a naked bike. It's not perfect though - the visor ratchet could be a lot better .. but it does seal nicely and the central lock is far far easier to use than on the K6 ... and the pads on the chin strap for the double D buckle are very thin with very little padding. Those are things that are easily forgiven when you put on a helmet for the first time and it instantly feels like home, like it was made just for your head 😉

Hi! Can you do the same review but with the agv k6S helmet?

[mnap]

NXR2 has more round fit so it is wider and K6 will be narrower interior??

[Showmetheevidence-]

So basically 2 great helmets :)
And therefore it should really come to down to which fits you better!!!
That being said I'm a huge SHOEI fan, just fits me so well + amazing quality.

Guys, I love your reviews, pretty much my go to for any decision. But I would like to suggest to change your structure: Rather than saying everything helmet by helmet, why dont you just say what both helmets have in common and then move to differences? Especially when comparing features you kinda loose track when you hear 6 features of helmet A followed by 6 features of helmet B, so just saying "A and B both have x, x, x, x" and then saying what they dont have in common :)

[gokukaa]

Amazing vid! If I had to choose between those two helmets, which one would you recommend when driving during the winter?

[achr]

Amazing vid. what is the benefit of a a 2 dimensional visor?

[or]

Which is better in quality of interior padding and finishes?

[tarikayaou]

Great Video, I’m Currently looking for a new helmet, I’m torn in between the AGV K6 and NXR 2. What would you recommend to me?

[vugar]

bruh how can u test the wind with a windshield like that ride on a naked bike and see the difrence

[nickgt]

If you look closely at your devices. When you measured K6, the wind speed was significantly higher.

[soulia]

How do these two helmets differ from race helmets?

[nickvermolen]

I don’t like the fact that these helmets have no sun visor.. which helmet do you recommend that has a sun visor?

[ionutalinmihailescu]

Hello. What would you recommend between Shoei NXR 2 and Shoei GT-AIR 2?
