  This review is about the colour: Red

  Hello.

  I was unsuccessfully trying for three months to buy the pictured helmet in size L from Greece. The best price I found at some point was around €760. I decided to visit the store and buy it. They informed me that they would have it ready for delivery in 40 days at a price of €950. In the end, I bought it from Italy for the not insignificant amount of €860.

  The helmet fits perfectly, leaving a pleasant "gap" around the ears. People who wear glasses will not have difficulty with them. Its visibility is more than adequate. The handling of the visor and its aerodynamic aids require some time to get used to. The new visor fastening is convenient, as well as its removal and repositioning. The strap is the same and unchanged for thirty years. I admit that something newer would suit me better.

  Once you wear it, you will realize that you can hear perfectly what is happening around you. Its aerodynamic behavior is not impressive. Its ventilation is more than sufficient. After all, it has air vents on the chin, the top, the forehead... In short, it has ten air vents.

  I was a bit disappointed that it does not have an adjustable chin strap like the previous ones. However, it is soft and fabric, so it is a welcome change for most people, although I liked the previous version.

  After 140 km/h, the visor will come down and latch on its own, unless you have some special coverage from the fairing. Of course, the whistling of the air with the visor open is particularly annoying.

  After approximately 180-200 km/h (a speed at which I do not travel on the roads, as a friend from the Village told me, you don't know him), the helmet "straightens" your head and does not allow rotations greater than (roughly) 30°. That is enough to check the mirror, though.

  Above that, wanting to push it (the aforementioned friend) to the limit, he reached about 270 km/h with the helmet outside the fairing, so he put his head inside to avoid putting it in the case.

  No problem, except of course, the fact that aerodynamic noises at these speeds are annoying. If the helmet had a more modern strap and better "acoustics," it would be LITERALLY a marvel of technology. I will keep it, like its father and grandfather, for a decade and then replace it with its modern equivalent.

  That's it.

  Hello and goodbye.
