Let's Talk About Shoei Helmet

[mild_slevin]

[swat_]

need new mouth pc, peak set and visors....

 

 

other than chong aik cos went dwn and ask but they want sell me new helmet instead...

 

clndt seem to find the parts online too....

[kinara_wy]

Its always good to have safety in mind..I got fren who is so budget tat he didn't want to change the rear light n wears a dark jacket most of the time..By saving these few dollars will cost him to lost even more.

 

so wad abt gears like jacket wif shoulder blade n elbow guard ?

I heard the taichi drymaster is not only a rain jacket but also comes wif elbow guard n shoulder blade.. Correct me if i'm wrong.. Cheers =)

A full face is called such because after you hit the road with your face you still have a, eh ... full face.

 

I believe the Hurt Report states that 20% of facial injuries happens to the chin area. Darn ... imagine the damage that the lid is taking for ya.

 

Cheers

X-11 Replica is so ex nowadays??

 

I'm using a X-11 Ukawa as a daily work helmet and a X-11 Kagayama for up north or track helmet..Worth every penny spend(Nt for the 1k price tag thou)..Put a open face helmet on and i feel so naked while riding..

 

Regina's stock for X-11 Rep probably nt much now cos they are more into the AGV market since they hold the distribution rights locally..

[dsyfunk]

erm..any one know this shoei helmet design with a cartoon dog and barb wire...just wish to know is it troy lee design and the helmet model..

[nelo]

whats the difference between shoei ff x-9 and x-11?

 

seem like x-11 is more popular, why ah? and x-9 is cheaper right?

the main difference is in the air vent intake design. the x-9 vents are lower down while the x-11 vents are higher up. this difference allows for different riding positions: x-9 with lower vents allows for more upright riding position, x-11 with higher vents allows for a more leaned over riding position.

nice. thanks man. :thumb:

[redname]

is there a chiong version of the cushions for x-11?

 

mine thinning liao

[scubasimon]

no problem. i did a long search and found out after checking the helmets out. by the way, chong aik did not have the kagayama 2 when i went there 2 months ago. so some of the models you want for x-11 may not be available. best to call before heading down if that's where you intend to buy from.

if that's the case.. x-9 is more suited for me! how much is it for the plain ones?

[scubasimon]

sorry but i cannot remember as it was a couple months ago since i enquired. but it sure is cheaper than the graphic ones :-) why not call them up or pay them a visit? look for Eric. this guy helped me out when i got my hornet ds and was very helpful. but you know, i'm not the bargaining sort, so the prices you get will probably be better than what i'd get :-)

[Batmobile]

I just got the x9 for $500. I didn't bargin but kpo ask Regina how much they were selling, they said $400 plus then I never ask so much liao. Ouch!

Anyway, I am happy with the helmet.

[biting_point]

you should have ask prices first before commiting..

 

i went to look at the prices yesterday.. i was shock to see the price tags at $1080!!!!

even old models like Kato's..

 

Good thing i went for Arai.. they bring in replacement parts and cushions more than Shoei..

[scubasimon]

Ah...Arai or Shoei? I checked both out...eventually (for me at least), it was down to fit and style. Because from a cost perspective not very different actually.

[kinara_wy]

hey guys.. can someone share wif me their exp for shoei Z-6 n X-9. Thx

 

I have called up chong aik for the price for Z-6 ( $600 ) It will be available in oct. Currently under PSB approval.

[scubasimon]

Z6 looks good on the website...think it is a definitely option for a sportsbike type of riding position. Will probably go take a look in the next few weeks. I would pass on the X-9 for now as I do not have a bike that dictates an upright riding position suitable for this helmet. I already have a Hornet DS for my TW200. But I think the X-9 is a great helmet if you have a streetbike that dictates an upright riding position.

[kinara_wy]

thx for sharing. Didn't know Z-6 is more ex than X-9.

For all i know, i tot X-9 have better ventilation than Z-6 all this while.

maybe due to the riding position.

Correct me if i am wrong. Thx guys
