ShoeiHornet X2

What an excellent helmet. You get what you pay for. Basically no wind noise at all, even at higher speeds. Visor is clear but there’s plenty of room for sunglasses (I wear aviators). Lens anti-fogging kit is included and works very well. Good airflow for hot weather and still warm in the winter when you close up the vents.

I went down to the stores to try on different Shoei helmets and all of them fit fine in a size large but this one was extremely small and it actually hurt my face and hair putting my head into the helmet definitely go a size up if you were a large in the regular Shoei helmet

Awesome quality of a helmet !!! I own 2 shoeis now! They are Awesome quality …. Worth the money

Nice helmet, but the 2XL was still too small.

I wear a large Neotec so I was nervous when I ordered but I heard you need to size up. I concur. Love the helmet for adv riding. Slapped a Cardo Edge comms unit in it and I am very satisfied w the entire system.

I ride a DR650 on & off road and looking for a non-polycarbonate adventure style helmet with beak visor. I tried both the Shoei Hornet X2 and the Arai XD4 and the Arai just fit my head better. Both the Shoei & Arai are great helmets but I have to say I expected more from a $700 helmet.Wind Noise: Both were louder than expected but neither had that awful high pitched polycarbonate sound, the fiberglass on both muffled the wind slightly and produced a much more pleasant tone, Arai was slightly better on my setup.Shields: The Shoei is optically correct but fogs up quickly when shut completely (at full stop) but holds open at 1st click to vent at stops. The Arai comes to more of a point so it is not optically correct at the nose but becomes optically correct when looking through the main portion, only an issue if you are venting on the 1st click when stopped.Beaks: Shoei buffets, Arai better.Ventilation: Both ok but both could be better. Shoei wins because you can leave the face shield cracked open to the 1st position without distortion.After trying both I bought neither, I really like the internal shade visor feature available on other helmets and leaning toward modular helmets so I can leave my eyeglasses on when putting the helmet on or taking it off. There are only a few fiberglass modular adventure helmets on the market but if I’m going to spend $700 bucks I want a few bells & whistles..

Great fit for me, quiet, very high quality. One of the best you can buy. I have an LS2 that I also like but it is has two times as much noise on the highway. Got this for off road but use it on and off.

After a ton of research and reading reviews I finally ordered this helmet. I am coming from a scorpion 950 adv helmet and this is everything I was hoping for. I trusted the measurements listed and it worked out for me. Once the helmet is on I can just slightly move it to adjust for glasses and strapped it. I tested it out first thing on the highway and noticed right away that wind sound was cut down dramatically and buffeting was almost gone. I tried it first with all vents closed then opened them one by one to feel the difference. Once the shield was down and all vents open I could actually feel the air flowing. The helmet is much nicer in person compared to pictures. It took a little playing to figure out what direction everything had to be in for the vents to be open and closed. People really took notice to it as well. For some reason people started looking and waving at me. I think the bright white is much more noticeable. I don’t have a lot of experience with different models but if you are considering this one just do it. It was a huge upgrade for me.
