Shoei NXR2 owners review

My purchase and initial testing of the NXR2, I have subsequently fitted a Cardo unit (just the basic HD (Spirit?) which fits via an adhesive pad and seems to work well!

Actually, a very good owners review. I’m close to buying one of these. Many thanks

You could change the cheek pads before purchase the seller should change the pads to smaller size which I did .. infinity changed it and allowed to sell it with smaller pads inside without extra charge ;)

Can I ask what size you bought and does it fit according to your measurements?

Good review. Thank you.

I am now looking at the NXR 2, coming from a GT Air and then a GT Air 2 - both of which have leaked quite badly around the visor seals - to the point of being dangerous in my opinion.

Two years on, I am wondering if the seal on the NXR 2 is still as good as it was during your review? The background to this is I am reluctant to spend more money to fix the seal problem after the GT Air 2 problems.

Thanks.

FYI Shoei make their own comms attachment bracket for this helmet

My personal experience with the NXR2 was bad. It was the noisiest helmet I have ever used, so much so that I ended up selling it on. I understand the factors of naked / screen, head shape and the use of earplugs etc but after watching so many video's claiming noise reduction in comparison to others I was shocked just how bad it was compared to my old HJC. Lost a chunk of money finding out it was awful.

I got my today and have to say that it feels heavy. Hurts my neck when wearing it especially when leaning forward. It basically feels heavy. Anyone who has the same problem?
