cheap new shoei helmets X-15 Marquez Motegi 5 Helmet – Shoei RF-1400 Solid Helmet -

In my experience, this helmet offers excellent value without cutting corners on safety or comfort

The round body is very stable and sits well in skiddy or windy conditions

The word is that theyre true to size (so read our fitting guide and buy the right size) and that theyre nice comfortable helmets

Not as large an effect as a metal tube but certainly enough to detune taped on aerials
