New - Airoh Commander 2 helmet - Ride review / Strip down / User guide
Рет қаралды 13,579
Күн бұрынThe new Airoh Commander 2 has arrived in store, fresh from the Italian manufacturer and we couldn't wait to get out on the road in it.
In this video, we have a close look to see what improvements Airoh have mad over the already great original commander. We strip it of it's essentials to get a better idea of its construction and we also take it out on the road in both its adventure trim with the peak on and set up as a road helmet without the peak.
If you have a commander 2 and you are unsure of how to remove and re fit the visor, peak or lining, or if you are going to fit a intercom system, then this video will also help as a handy guide for you.
If you would like more information on the Airoh Commander 2 helmet, then there is plenty on Airoh's website and also some more handy tutorials.
We did a similar review of the original Commander helmet, which we refer to in this video and you are able to watch by clicking on the link below -

Hi Gregg. Yes, it does look good in this blue and to be fair, Airoh have got a few good graphics out with this new Commander 2. It is definitely worth a closer look if you are considering getting one. Thank you for watching my video and thanks for leaving me a comment. 👍

Good review, I’ve the BMW version. Thinking it’s the 1.5 model as some of the mk2 specs are on my helmet. Cardo install was easy; albeit the cable hole was a very tight fit for the phono cable. The lid is very light & comfy, just as good as my last Shoei (GT air) & the same fit for my shape head.

Hi Steve. I’ve had a close look at the BMW version and it is clearly manufactured by Airoh. From what I’ve seen there do seem to be some minor differences between the Commander 2 and the BMW helmet. One was the point at which the chin strap is anchored into the shell, it seems to be further forward in the Commander 2. Thank you for watching my video and thanks for leaving me a comment 👍

Got one, 1000 km later.......wish I went with the Nexx Wed3. Airoh is light, that's why I got it. I have few "hot spots" within 45 min of riding (fine I have a weird head shape). My Arai gives me zero issues. Somehow, this Airoh just feels "cheap" to me. Even the D rings.....
@mymoto-uk 25 күн бұрын
Hi Pawel. The problem you’ve got is that Arai have got a reputation for making really high quality helmets and because of that, other manufacturers can often feel cheap in comparison. You have to judge each helmet in relation to what it costs. I think you’ll find that both the Airoh and the Nexx will feel similar in quality because they are both made to a similar budget. There is a possibility that the internal shape of the Nexx is more comfortable for you but I would recommend getting the Tour X5. Yes, they aren’t cheap but with you having had an Arai, you know the quality you’re going to get with it. Thank you for watching our video and thanks for leaving me a comment 👍

Same here. Just bought it for the look and got it relatively cheap. But everything about it feels cheap and worse than with helmets of well-known manufacturers. Next time I would try and LS2 or maybe an Arai right away.
@mymoto-uk 17 күн бұрын
@@Michbert0815 Hi Mich. More often than not, the feel and overall quality is linked to how much the helmet costs. If you think that the Airoh feels cheap then it would be best to try the Arai next. With LS2 being a similar price to the Commander 2, it'll feel very similar.
@Michbert0815 16 күн бұрын
@@mymoto-uk So so, I would say. I have a Bell helmet that was cheaper and feels better build in every aspect. The Airoh is just more on the fashion side, than on quality one. The comparisons that included the first commander showed that too.

we got the Airoh commander 2 for my girlfriend. Looks great but has issues already 1x pinlock pin wasn't made correctly (I have used a spare from another helmet. The slider for the drop down visor is very difficult to use. The visor gets stuck in the fully open position and after opening and closing a few times the lens just falls out! We have tried everything to rectify... Even a tiny amount of silicone sealant to hold the lens in the hinge but still falls out after a few uses. The button to open the main visor is very stiff! Not easy to use with gloves and very different to use when riding. Very expensive helmet and we are very unhappy.
@mymoto-uk 2 ай бұрын
Hi RnineT adventures. It sounds like there may be a manufacturing fault with your helmet. The internal visor should slide smoothly, up and down and with minimal effort. The fact that the lens falls out also makes me think that there may be a fault. I would suggest taking it back to where ever you bought it from so that they can inspect it and if faulty, replace it. The problem is that if you have used a silicon sealant to try and fix it, that will void your warranty. It is probably still worth having it inspected though. I hope you mange to get it sorted, it's a real shame you've had them problems because we have had noting but good feed back from our customers so far. Thanks for watching our video and thanks for letting us know about your helmet. 👍

I'd like to order one, but unsure about the size - my head circumference is 56.5 cm. Will you recommend size S or M? Unfortunately I can't try it before I buy, as I'm too far from you. And another question - can you move the peak up/down, or is it fixed in one position? Thank you for the detailed review.
@bogdanm9498 25 күн бұрын
M should fit well. I have the same circumference and it fits a little snug because it is still new. The peak is fixed

How much coverage are you getting with that drop down sun visor? I'm in the market for an ADV helmet with a drop down sun visor but I've noticed on quite a few helmets the sun visors don't drop down far enough. They leave a large sun beam blasting you underneath the sun visor. It's a bit annoying and distracting.
@Michbert0815 17 күн бұрын
You can still stick a finger through and scratch your cheek.😉 But a friend just mentioned that it’s much deeper than at his Shoei GT-Air 2.

Hi Smokeyonesix. Airoh have actually increased the size of the Visor on the Commander 2 and with the new Dual Axis mechanism, it is actually a very different visor. Unfortunately it won't fit the old commander but you are able to get a dark tint visor for those helmets. Thank you for watching our video and thanks for leaving me a comment. 👍

Hi Donut3110. They are doing a carbon version but because it is a new helmet, the none carbon/ graphic versions are produced first. I think the carbon one is due to be released around July/August. Thanks for watching our video and thanks for leaving me a comment 👍

Unfortunatly, I am a person who maybe will order this helmet without trying it (I know my size) So 2 questions. 1. How quiet is it while riding at high speed (from 1 to 10 where 1 is noisy and 10 is very quite) 2. Does SENA50 can be installed on this helmet ? (I have LS2 MX436 helmet and I wanna change it because It is impossible to install SENA on it) Thank you and sorry my english =)
@mymoto-uk Ай бұрын
Hi GertAbyss. I find that all the Duel Sports helmets are loud in comparison to road orientated full face helmets. The main cause of this is because of the visor shape and peaks. In comparison to other duel sport helmets I would say that it is really quiet. The visor mechanism is very flush to the helmet, it has a strong composite shell and plenty of EPS and soft lining, which all helps to keep the wind noise to a minimum. I've looked at the Sena 50s / 50r and it's hard to say if it would fit using the clip base but I'm sure it will fit easily with an adhesive base. We have had quite a few customers set up their Cardo Packtalks on the Airoh Commander helmets and they have had no trouble with the adhesive base. I hope this is enough information for you and that you like the helmet when you get it. Thank you for watching our video and thanks for leaving me a comment 👍

Hey, I had the same question. As far as I know, there never was a com you can put into the helmet with the first version. The “com ready” they are advertising is also referring to the hole in the helmet. Pretty disappointing, but when you look at their info material they never mention anything included into the helmet.

Hi Al Harris. There is a slight gap between the cheek pad and the skull cap, roughly in the position where a spectacle arm would go. But there is nothing specifically done with the construction to make it more comfortable for spectacle users, unlike what AGV have done with their K3 helmet. I hope this helps?

@mymoto-uk Ай бұрын
Hi Ian. It hasn't been design specifically to work with spectacles, like what AGV did with the new K3 helmets. I think it would come down to the type of spectacles and how the helmet fits you, as to whether it could be worn with them. The best thing to do is to try one on first and see if it is comfortable for you. Thank you for watching my video and thanks for leaving me a comment 👍

You can take off the visor and there are a few plastic parts in the box, which I think are to cover the mechanism, in case you use goggles.

Is the new Commander 2 quieter than the first generation?
@mymoto-uk Ай бұрын
Hi Cirkulace. The aerodynamics and the construction haven’t changed enough to make it any quieter than the previous model. If you ride an adventure bike and you are looking to make the helmet quieter, it is best to experiment with different bike screens and screen add on’s. They have a bigger effect by throwing the wind blast over the top of you. Thank you for watching my video and thanks for leaving me a comment 👍

How does the commander 2 differ from yhe gs pure?
@mymoto-uk 2 ай бұрын
Hi AdvExOz. I've Looked at numerous images of the GS Pure and it is clearly made by Airoh and re branded as BMW. The slider for the flip down visor is the same as the commander two, as is the new top vent. The one difference that I can see, which is very peculiar, is the anchor point on the GS Pure is in the same position as it was on the original Commander. where as the Commander 2 has it located further forward. I hope this has helped, thank you for watching our video and thanks for leaving me a comment 👍

is commander 2 noisy?
@mymoto-uk 3 ай бұрын
Hi User-xt. All adventure shaped helmets are pretty noisy because of the visor shape at the bottom front and the peak. To keep the noise to a minimum you need to have the visor fully closed and use it without a peak. Without taking wind noise into account, if you were stationary next to a bike with a loud exhaust, then the Airoh is as quiet as any other composite shell helmet. If you looking for a really quiet helmet then I’d suggest going for something like the Arai Quantic, with its road focused aerodynamics and thick eps / soft lining. Thank you for watching our video and thank you for leaving me a great comment 👍
