Title: Shoei X-11
Post by: hooksem on June 18, 2008, 04:44:44 PM
I've been looking at helmets for months and finally splurged and picked up an X-11.  I can't be happier.  I had been looking at the Joe Rocket 101 among others.  I know every head is different, but the X-11 was made for my head!

I have several and have found them to be so close to the Arai Corsairs / RX-7s in comfort . Venting alittle better, and overall, about the same as far as for me at the end of the day comparison .

I wish I had an x-11.  They fit me better than the tz-r I have now.  Lucky bastard   [thumbsup]

I love my X-11.  It's louder than the R800 I replaced a couple years ago, but it is SUPER comfortable for my head.  A couple hundred bucks more comfortable than the R1000 that I didn't buy.

I really wanted the x-11, and tried on several. I even asked to try on one right out of the box rather than the ones that every bodies greasy head had been in. No luck, I guess I've got an odd shaped head. Ended up with the rf1000, it just seemed to fit better, and I'm happy.

i wanted to get he rf1000 as they have better designs than the x-11 but the rf1000 didnt' fit my head as well as the x-11 so ended up getting that instead.

both are great helmets, i wish i could have gotten the rf1000 as the diabolic series of designs is really the best designs shoei makes especially the good/evil combination.

ended up with the x-11 vermuelen 2 design, i like it bc its a cool different design.

My wife loves her Arai Quantums.  I on the other hand cant seem to find an Arai that fits me.  I really didn't want to spend a small fortune on a lid but once I started trying them on the only one that really seemed to fit my nugget was the X-11. 

Different helmets for different heads.

I wanted a Shoei as well...but I guess my head is just weird. My nose was just about pressing against the visor.  [bang]
