Shoei Multitec or similar range of flipup

Schuberth C3 for me...

 

World's Quietest Modular Helmet...

 

Does anyone knows how does Schuberth C3 compared to an Arai helmet? Arai Profile in particular.

 

I'm concerned with comfort and helmet size. I had Arais (been through 5 of them) for many years already and find it most comfortable. The helmet also doesn't make my head look too big unlike Nolans or AGVs. Buffetting at high speeds for Arais is also minimal. Problem with Arais is that they tend to disintegrate after a year, especially the neck roll area. So thinking of making a change to Schuberth.

FYI... I happened to be around the area, so I popped into the shop across from Regina (branch of Chong Aik, forgot the name now). They have PSB-approved Multitecs for $550. This was without bargaining, not sure if the price is fixed or negotiable.

 

I was about to buy the Multitec when I found out that the main lining cannot be taken out. :|

Its strange, isnt it? Fully removable liners are so common now and yet, a $500 helmet does not have this feature.

 

Sure, you can wear a balaclava before you don the helmet, but I wash my helmet liners every now and then even I use a balaclava daily.

With Singapore's weather in mind, a helmet with non-removable liner is right at the bottom of my list.

Errrrmmm... are you SURE? I've had a Multitec for 3 years now and can confirm the liners the fully removable. Unless something has changed radically in the past 3 years, or the shop assistant doesn't know how to take them out

[iknowuwanthislah]

[Nah]

Thanks for your input!

 

I searched several reviews and most indicates only the cheekpads being removable only.

Strange.

Think I probably go back to the shop and try again.

Anyway, waiting for the Shoei Qwest to come in.

Hi all,

I have a Caberg Justissimo GT(Brand New) for sale. Refer to thread below:

http://www.singaporebikes.com/forums/showthread.php/323244-Caberg-Justissimo-GT-Flip-up-Helmet-(Brand-NEW)-for-sale-below-market-price.

[LTC]

The Schuberth J1 good? Wat's the cost like?

I'm wearing glasses. The sunvisor will be obstructed?

Sorry for hijacking the thread but seems like helmet experts gathered here...

[KingK]

Any review of the Airoh Flip-up helmet? Saw that adventure on wheels carries them.

[antartica]

some mo'fo dropped my multitec last week... angry!!!

scratched the clear visor and the internal plastic part of the chin bar is damaged as well...

any one knows if Chong Aik / Regina is able to do repairs?

[spenx75]

This one from Shark have the advantage that the chin guard can be rotated out of the way totally. Seems to have pretty good review too.
