Can't forget to throw the AGV K1-S in here. $219 for ECE 22.06, GP styling, huge visibility, and lots of airflow is exceedingly great value for money.

I had a Scorpion EXO T520. Saved my life a couple months ago. When I get another bike, I'll be getting the same thing. Loved it. Super comfortable, great air flow, and the Scorpion sound system that comes with it is great.

I think these types of reviews are extremely helpful to beginning riders, or returning riders. It is hard for them to get good info aside from the sales pitch. Of course you can't include all the inexpensive helmets, but 4 is a pretty good selection. And no hype, no mfg sales pitch, just testing is great.

I'd personally like to also throw the Scorpion Exo Covert FX in the mix. ECE 22.06 and SNELL rated, tinted and clear visor, electronics space, amazing ventilation without being obtrusive, super comfortable to wear for even 6+ hours without removing it, glasses channels built into the pads (absolutely amazing for some of us blind folks out here), and comes in at $250. There's a few things about it that are kind of funky, but nothing critical or incredibly distracting even when you're riding at *insert legal and safe speeds here*.

Been wearing Arai for years. Just had my most serious accident on the road in 35 years which included a brain injury in the list. Please never skimp or make do where your head is concerned. Wrote off my fairly new RX7 and have replaced it with another Not being able to taste or smell isn’t as much fun as you think. . Stay safe.

Just started riding. Very happy with my Bell Qualifier DLX. Super comfy. Thanks for doing this comparison.

I wear a Shoei RF-SR and I highly recommend it. I have a 2 hour commute to and from work on the freeway on a Husqvarna 701 Enduro. I also have transitions lens on it. I would imagine I have the worst commute of anyone and the helmet is comfortable, and has great airflow across the whole ride.

You can get deals on line and get the Shoei NXR 2 for the same price as that Shoei on your test.

I have 6 helmets at the moment and the Shoei NXR 2 is my favorite and better than more expensive helmets.

I just started riding in July '23 and for my first helmet I bought the Scorpion R420. It's been great so far. It was recommended to me for the same reasons you listed.

AGV K1-S is the one I'll always choose for a cheap, safe, good looking helmet

So, in Austin TX - in the summer, I can't believe that ventilation wasn't a rating item. Plus they're all black. That had to be fun.

I bought the shoei RF-SR as my first helmet and I’m over the moon with it and it came with a penlock now I have the dark smoke visor with penlock😊

New rider here. I bought the bell for $215 around black Friday! I love the protint lens and the cheek pads can be switched out! Good review

To start I also suffer from round head syndrome. This eliminates approximately 95% of available options. For a full face helmet I wear the AGV K3, and my modular is a Bilt Power Boost. Both are DOT and ECE 2205 rated and fit very well. Great for the high mileage multi day trips.

I own the Scorpion EXO-R420 in all black with a silver mirrored visor, it fits amazingly for me (Intermediate Oval) and it looks sooo badass.

Would love to see a new helmet tier list. I believe its been about two years since the last one and I know there are a lot of new helmets out there

just bought a Shoei fr-sr was going to get the 1400, but the sr fit soo much better. Had a Bell and loved it, Had a Bilt it was ok got funky quick, I used to only buy Shoei in the 90’s so I gave it another shot.

I bought a scorpion exo st1400 and have no complaints. It right under the shoei as far as price but it fits me perfect in a medium.

I have read reviews on the Shoei helmets and people say the padding wears out faster than any other brand. I feel the Scorpion is the best overall

I'm very pleased with how well you rated the bell qualifier dlx helmet and it makes me happy to know I made a good choice in my first helmet
