Thanks Leandro for watching the video and your comment. Agree the Arai is a really good helmet. You won't go wrong with that. Stay safe. Billy

Different experiences. Great to hear that you get along with yours. Cheers. Billy

Me too wouldn't buy a helmet without the sun visor, riding into the night to get to the destination I'm done with stopping to do a visor change and carrying a spare and tools

That's a good point. I only wear tinted visor in the spring /.summer months. Cheers. Billy

Someone told me 30 years ago that you either have a shoei shaped head or an arai shaped head, I don't even know if that's true but I had a shoei at the time and it fit perfectly so I have never even tried an arai. Might be missing something.

Hi Silvsiri. Thanks for watching and subbing👍🏼👏. Very grateful for your support! Stay away from Domio, it will probably save you a lot of frustration and money. Thanks for following. Cheers. Billy 👍🏼

Hi Darsey no1. Thanks for watching the video and your message👍. I am hoping you won't be disappointed. Really nice lite and comfortable helmet. Let me know how you get on with it. Stay safe. Billy

Hi Wade. Thanks for watching and your comment! I really like the lightness of the commander. I recently did a day out with the Arai TX4 and I definitely felt the difference at the end of the day, sore neck. Challenge now is to find a helmet that has great build quality as Arai TX4 but the lightness of the Airoh C. You will notice a big difference! Cheers Billy

Hi Mike. Thanks for your comments and for watching the review. Apologies I can.t comment in the noise. I should do test on that with other helmets whilst using a comms system. You can get ear pieces custom made for wind noise protection as fitted with speakers, but a bit pricy right now. I did o out yesterday for a ride with my Arai on and I can say that even with ear plugs in it is much nosier than the Airoh. Stay safe. Billy

Thanks for watching and hope it helped. Cheers. Billy

So what you recommended helmet, arai or Airoh.. huft I need lighter.

Thanks Karsten for watching and your comments. Agree its hard to recommend but some of the characteristics of a helmet can be shared but would never advocate buying one without trying one on first. You make some great points that I will be sure to carry forward, thanks! Stay safe. Billy

Hi Adrian. Agree. I would like to know where the cost really sits in manufacturing versus profit. I guess we will never know. Like you I am happy with the Airoh👍🏼. Stay safe. Billy

So true Darren! I have added a defuser to my screen to help and has made a difference but those safety checks still give me a kick back with the wind on the peak of the X4. Thanks for your comment and watching the video. Stay safe. Billy

@@BillysBikeAdventures Noise too? How if you stand up (or ride a naked bike)?

Hey Lari Fari. Thanks for watching the video and your question. Noise no bother with any helmet as I wear custom ear plugs. Can recommend them enough. Really do help in reducing noise significantly. Stay safe. Cheers. Billy

Hi Scott. thanks for watching and your comment. I think its more to do with the windshield and the turbulence it creates and the top or the clean air peak. That said when I had my KTM 1290 SAR which as a very small screen I did find that the peak on my Arai was more of a challenge than my Airoh. Great to hear that this does not affect you. Cheers. Billy.

Thanks for watching and your question. I was XL in both and they both fit very well. Cheers. Billy

Hai Chandrajuliar Saya belum memiliki Cardo Pack Talk di Airoh saya. Namun, ada lubang untuk pengeras suara telinga, tetapi mungkin terlalu dangkal. Saya tidak yakin. Kasus terburuk adalah Anda mungkin harus memotong 1-2mm dari bagian telinga untuk memastikan kenyamanan. Tapi sudah ada jalan pintas untuk speaker telinga. Semoga membantu. Cintai negara Anda terutama selancar juga. Tetap aman. Billy

@@BillysBikeAdventures thank you for your respond. Have you ever come to Indonesia ? Hope someday I can riding with you 🤗

Belum pernah ke Indo tetapi tumbuh besar menonton banyak film selancar menakjubkan tentang Indo. Tempat yang indah, orang-orang. Berharap beberapa untuk bepergian ke sana. Tetap aman. Billy

@@BillysBikeAdventures hi Billy, how about the ventilation inside, is Airoh doing as well Arai ? As I know Arai has good ventilation inside anf only little bit different degree inside vs outside. Minus for Arai about the peak that catch the wind ? Minus for Airoh about the mist on visor ? So if you have to buy a new helmet, will you choose Arai or Airoh ? Thanks.

Hi Frank. Thanks for your questions and for watching the video. Noise is a hard one for me to comment and I should have mentioned this in the video in hind sight. I wear customer inserts for my ears so each helmet that I wear is always quiet. I have to say that with these in, I can't tell a difference between the two. Not sure that helps. Sorry I could not help more. Stay safe. Cheers. Billy

@@BillysBikeAdventures Ah no prob! Thanks for your reply anyway! I think about getting custom ear inserts as well, definitely the best solution. I just bought the Airoh Commander as well. I like the sun visor a lot, it was actually the reason I did not go for the Arai Tour X4. I think ventilation may become a problem in hot weather though. It’s hard to find a better ADV helmet than these two. Ride safe!

Hi Ashim. Thanks for watching the video and your question. I can’t say that I have ever noticed vision distortion on the Arai. It’s always been good visibility from my point of view. Stay safe. Billy

Hi there. Did not realise it would be so miuch of a challenge to reasemble. Well done on doing it. Hope comms working well for you! Cheers. Billy

HI Siddharth. A great question. I honestly don't know as there are more helmets out there that I need to try. Of the two from this video I would still opt for the Airoh as I believe that it has more to offer me than the Arai. I do want to do more reviews though so hopefully more to come. Thanks for watching and you comment. Stay safe, Billy

Fair point, but could be made lighter with carbon

Hi Vitor. That's a good question! Clearly the Arai is the better built helmet but much heavier. The Airoh is splendidly light but not built as well. Depends on your view point. For me I really like wearing the Airoh on all day rides or multi days rides. I did wear the Arai recently on a pretty long ride and felt the difference in the weight with an aching neck. Most of the time I am wearing the Airoh. Hope that helps! Cheers Billy

Thanks Rebel Archer for watching and your comments! I hope that is the case as my Airoh is so much more comfortable weight wise that putting the Arai back on is like wearing a brick. Stay safe. Billy

With the gap between the shield and shell filled with EPS, the shell is stronger and less likly to deform in a crash. Meaning it has a greater chance to glance off the impact surface and keep the energy moving forward. Gaps betwen the EPS and shell mean the shell will be more flexible. That means the helmet flattens out more on impact and creates more surface area. More surface area means more friction between the helmet and the impact surface. That makes the helmet more likely to stop. Anytime the helmet stops, energy comes in. This will also contribute to a greater likelihood that there will be an increase in rotational forces as the momentum continues to move forward.

Wow Scott very informative. Thank you 🙏

Its about the same to be honest

@@BillysBikeAdventures ok thanks. The edges of my arai pinlock drove me crazy. My shoei was much better

I have had 2 Arai Tour x4s and both have been ok with pinlock edges. Frustrating you have had a different experience

@BillysBikeAdventures I'm in japan. So I belive they stopped at the x3. 4 is a bad luck number here and that's the real reason we didn't get it. But there was a visible 1cm gap on every side

Hey mate. Noise is a hard one for me to talk about as i wear ear plugs regardless so always quiet. Sorry. Thanks for watching. Billy

Thanks for sharing your experience with Arai and for watching the video. What are you using now? Cheers. Billy

@@BillysBikeAdventures Thank you Billy. I am now using the Shoei Hornet Adventure for my BNW GS (absolutely love it) and the Alpinestars SM10 for off road and hot days. The SM10 is also an amazing helmet. I will strongly recommend them both.

They both look great esp the SM10. Do you use Comms unit in your Shoei and if so how's do the speaker fit? Nice and snug or anproblem

@@BillysBikeAdventures I don’t use any communication system in my helmets. I like to keep my helmets as light as possible. Also, in an event of an accident, I don’t want to end up with a fraction of a speaker in my brain (-;

Sound advice and makes the selection of chosing a helmet much broader 👍

That’s a shame. I did a trip to Wales over the bank holiday weekend. The Airoh misted outside of the pin lock insert but thankfully not between the visor and insert. Surprised the X4 does not vent for you. Very heavy though. I don’t notice noise difference as I wear ear plugs regardless of helmet. Thanks for watching the vid and your comment. Stay safe. Billy

If your helmet is really loud, it might be too big. You could try a thicker crown liner and cheek pads to tighten it up. That will make it quiter. The cams on the shield have to be adjusted so the Pinlock seal is flat against the shield. Only adjust the cams with the Pinlock insert removed or you might break the cams.

Hi TheJHA67. Thanks for watching and your comments! A shame your Airoh fell apart. Mine still in good nick so no complaints from me . I do like the Arai but they are so heavy. Having had a lite helmet now I can really notice the difference. Stay safe. Billy

@@BillysBikeAdventures I'm not the only one who has experienced this .. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbpyZbyV2byUmKs.html&ab_channel=MotorcycleAdventures

The bulk of its helmets are made in Italy, although the base models are made in an Airoh factory in China.

@@BillysBikeAdventures Means assembled in china?!

As same as nolan?

Like most things
