Default Helmets

I am just curious as to what everyone's opinions on the different types and manufacturers out there for helmets are. I know everyone is going to say "what ever is comfortable and works for you" but I wanna know specifics.

Also what does everyone think of the KBC helmets? Thanks everyone

I love my scorpion helmet. EXO-400...comfy as hell and fits my head perfectly...I have a very odd shaped head. Its long, but not wide[&:], the scorpion fits awesome on my head

You cant get a much nicer helmet for the money than any of the Scorpion EXO models. Much better than the KBC, Iconand HJC brands.

Shoei X-eleven here. GREAT aerodynamics. No lift at speed. Great ventilation. Perfect fit. Low noise level. No buffeting.A LITTLE wind whistling at certain angles.

It shows howfar helmets have come.

My Shoei RF-1000 is perfect. Great fit, not a lot of wind whistling and great ventilation.

i have a HJC Ac-12
I must have to say its not too fantastic. alot of lift. Wind noise i can only assume i am used to it because i don't hear it anymore. Aerodynamics are mediocre. If i am down i am good if my head is too much over the windshield i get some force back. But for the price i still think it was great
