helmet outer size.

[mr motorbiker]

I know shoei do different shell sizes but are some helmets actually smaller and more compact on the outside that other makes.

do any of u know of any helmets that offer this from experience.

cheers.

Arai's are generally quite small physically, and are quite round.
Shoei's are similar in size but have a more stretched oval profile.

AGV's are generally alot larger. This is because they use only 1 or 2 shell sizes, whereas shoei and arai (in the more expensive models at least) use between four and six.

The AGV Ti-Tech helmet for example is very large. This is because Rossi, who the helmet was designed for, wanted a larger and slightely heavier helmet for noise and stability/comfort - of course this has followed onto the highstreet version for all our Rossi wannabes.

Personally i dislike the bulky size of the AGV and i find the round shape of Arai's too short in the chin. Shoei's are almost perfect for me.

Hope this is of some help?

Shark, Takachi, and HJC(i think ) seemed small to me when i had a gander.

Why do you ask?

I just sent back a AGV S-4 for being like a fecking spaceman’s helmet, the thing was way oversized outer shell wise.

I can remember when my friend used to wear a Simpson Bandit and that was well small and looked very cool, it's just a shame not many places stock them so you could go in try them on.

I would still like to know if others think Simpson helmets are one of the smallest outer-shell wise, or if another make takes the crown

I'm not intending to go out of our atmosphere any time soon.
