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 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.

My my head seems to have been made for the X-11   [thumbsup]

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.

X-11's are my fav. I have two of them, one for each bike!!  [thumbsup] They have some new designs out too. Got   to  stop  looking  on  the  web....  [laugh]
'07 S4RS "Testatretta" (In the FASTER color)
I'm not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example!

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]
