Hi all there !

I was wondering if someone have experience with any af these makes and specially with:

AGV Ti-Tech Full Faced Tattoo Black/Silver

SHOEI RF- 1000 - Camber TC 5

HJC CL - SP Raven MC - 5 F

After a large search these ones are what I like most but want to have some feedback from your experience.

Thanks in advance

screw HJC, it doesn't belong in the same category as the other two

never owned a Shoei but I do know they are well known to be some of the best helmets out there

I actually own an AGV Ti-Tech, it is an AWESOME helmet but unfortunately it doesn't fit me right, between wearing glasses and having big ears it just doesn't work for me
the damn thing doesn't weigh hardly anything and is definitely one of the best as far as protection (thats Rossi's helmet of choice and there are probably helmet companies that would be willing to pay him more)

Just make sure whatever you get to try it on first, cause trust me on this it sucks to spend $500+ on a helmet and find out it doesn't fit right

I wear Shoei for street and motocross. Only others I know to be good are Arai and Suomy.

HJC isn't even close.

I have a Shoei and a scorpion 400. I actually like the scorpion better which is insane. It is a 130$ helmet but its really nice. Lots of vents that work, no fog face shield, interchangable padding....

I like it.

I have an RF-1000 that's been crash tested and it's awesome. Light weight, high quality and good vents. Don't know about the AGV though. Do yourself a favor, spend the extra $ and get something good. Also look into Arai, hear they're really good too.

I also have a shoei, Shark, AGV and I like them all but the shoei is the most comfy but the shark is more quiet and never fogs, Agv is just an old one that I use for dirt riding..

Again, with the all of them, and I prefer the RF 1K over any helmet I've ever worn. Including Arai's.

i have the titeck, and its bloody amazin, light, not too loud, comfy as hell, its the only helmet i have owned that idnt really have a break in period, you know, the time you wear it for the first few rides and its tight and a bit uncomfortable. has the removable washable liner, which is great( live in australia and it gets bloody sweaty). also spare parts are ready available, if you need you replace anything... for example, i had a rock break off one of the vent switches, AGV sent me new ti replacement switch for nothin!!!!... hope this helps....

peace

Every person's head shape is different, and all helmet manufacturers' models are different. The best thing to do is to go to a shop and try them all on. I would pick the one that is the most comfortable, not the one with the coolest graphics or the one with the most expensive brand name. Owning a $600 helmet does not make you a better rider.

Arai most overrated and expensive helmet
Shoei, Suomy, AGV are expensive but good
Great alternative: Shark RSI or RSR2 & Vemar VSR
Cheap but good: Scorpion EXO-700
