Another beautifully done retro helmet with an interesting mixture of modern and classic styling touches. The Cromwell Spitfire is yet...
A solid replacement for the Quantum, the RX-Q has the usual Arai quality and attention to detail. Nothing is really new here though — no revolutionary venting system, face shield or other radical features. The liner material feels a rougher and the padding isn’t as plush as the old Quantum...

Does it get any more retro than this? Pictures speak louder than words! OK, it’s time for some fun! And...
The Fitovers sunglasses are not your Grandma’s sunglasses…or are they? Actually, who cares, as long as they work?! Designed to fit over most prescription eyeglasses, Fitovers sunglasses come in an array of sizes and styles. They’re much less expensive than a separate pair of prescription sunglasses and they do an...

The Shark Evoline has now been homologated for North America with this version that meets U.S. DOT safety standards. This Evoline seems tighter, more comfortable and it has a very high level of finish compared to the Shark Evoline ECE (review) version we reviewed in August of 2008. The Evoline is now...
The Fulmer D4 has a few unique features that help separate it from other inexpensive helmets. Fulmer’s Air Channel Technology...
Combining high-viz orange and retro-reflective white make this the most visible helmet on the planet. It’s a basic flip-up design...
The SCHUBERTH C3 combines light weight and a comfortable fit. It also has the most effective noise control system we have experienced in any flip-up (or full-face, for that matter) helmet. We published a SCHUBERTH C3 “First Look” just three months ago in August of 2008. At that time, SCHUBERTH claimed that...

The new Scorpion EXO-700 “Neon” motorcycle helmet was announced one month ago, in October of 2008. The original press release from Scorpion is included below. Scorpion recently sent us a production Neon so we could take a closer look, and this is our report. Why all the coverage on the EXO-700,...

Near flawless quality, beautiful carbon fiber, very light weight and comfortable. Good ventilation and an easy-to-use face shield, all at...
The GMAX GM68S is a high quality helmet with an interesting selection of graphics. It has outstanding ventilation and face shield optical quality and a bargain-basement price. Unique is the word for the LED lights in the rear. It’s officially 2008, but we started this review a couple of weeks...
The Xpeed XF-705 has the features of a much more expensive helmet. And it can usually be found at a...
The GMAX GM27S has good quality and an interesting design. It includes a 3-position LED light in the rear. The...
I recently became the proud owner of an Arai RX-7 Corsair Nicky Hayden Laguna helmet and Shark RSR 2 Kasuaki Fujiwara racer replica. Being an avid race fan, it has been my goal to one day own a racer replica helmet. But I was waiting for a good deal first...

It’s good to see Vemar back in the U.S.A. Meantime, the brand has been popular in other parts of the...
The Vemar VTXE fits just under the VSREV in the Vemar lineup. In many ways, this is the Vemar helmet of choice. It offers excellent noise control under most conditions and very good build quality. It also has a high degree of comfort for round and neutral head shapes. Good...
What is it exactly that gives certain brands a mystique and cachet? Sometimes, all the marketing dollars (or Euros, in...

February 2009 – CMS has now released a women’s version of the D-Jet with some nice graphics and new “Mutant” graphics for the XR-7 motocross helmet (see below)! It’s been a while since we reviewed the CMS GP-4 full-face helmet, one of the lightest full-face helmets we’ve ever worn. CMS is a...
The Arai XD3 helmet is a positive step in the evolution of this hybrid helmet. Although most of the changes...
HJC Sy-Max 2 Helmet Review The Sy-Max II appears to be very similar to the European-only HJC FS-Max we reviewed...
Summary The Sy-Max II appears to be very similar to the European-only HJC FS-Max we reviewed exactly one year ago, in May of 2007. However, this DOT-approved version has better quality and I’ve come to appreciate the styling, which makes the original Sy-Max look rather plain in comparison. The Sy-Max...
I have been reading (or mostly ogling) webBikeWorld for quite a few years now. I still remember that I was...
Summary Applied to a motorcycle face shield, Raincoat repels water. After the face shield is treated, the water will bead...
Let the debate begin: is it the Givi X.01, the Givi X01, the XZero1 or….? Givi has devoted an entire website to this helmet, which they’re apparently calling the XZero1; the Givi UK site calls it the X.01. But whatever you call it, this has to be the coolest —...
Middle-of-the-road flip-up that could use improvement. When I think of motorcycle helmets, AFX isn’t the first brand that comes to...
