Hello,
I am curious as to if anyone rides a Shoei X-Spirit 3 on a GS. I'm about to buy a new helmet, and my most valued characteristics are silence, lightweight, and aerodynamic stability (no buffeting and less drag).
All I read about the Shoei X-Spirit 3 tell me it is very quiet for a race helmet, that it is very comfy, very well vented, and impressively stable on situations in which you would normally feel a lot of buffeting. However, being a race helmet I wonder if it would be suited to an upright riding position like on my GSA LC.
Any advice or opinions?
I have just tested a Schuberth E1 and hated it, the peak vibrated like hell and acted like a sail, I sent it back. Now I'm contemplating a Shoei since my motocross helmet fits me very well, and I'm keen on having the same fit on a road helmet.
The Neotec 2 is tempting but I would maybe enjoy a closed lighter lid for frequent 300km motorway rides. GTAir is nice but I'm wondering about the X-Spirit's lighter weight and better aerodynamics.
Basically, I realized I'm going to have to have two helmets, and am now looking for the best one for motorway riding.
EDIT: Iam 5 years into my C3Pro, and the reason I'm looking for another lid is that I don't like how the interior slacked and is not loose. Smaller size is too small, thought.
