Well I'm wearing big frame Rayban like eyeglasses and I can fit comfy with rpha11 and agv k5 jet both with M size. Tried rx7x and z7 also good fitment with glasses but a little heavier than rpha11.

hjc is narrower than shoei, a fact.
shoei better for rounder head.

Indeed.

But not all hjc is the same. some are narrower than others. Most of the sizing issues we have been discussing probably is due to head shape.

The fact is, Asians tend to have rounder heads where gwailos tend to have a narrower head. Some of the tighter intermediate ovals don't fit us well.

I tested the F70 and rpha70 at the same time, both in M, the F70 didn't fit me at all, L was loose. hotspot on the top sides of my crown...so bought the rpha70 instead.

Shoei and Arai tend to fit us better.

I am looking at GT Air 2 - plain white. This is RM2,350.
Any other design that's not plain is RM2,700

Well that's the going rate for the more premium range of helmets. Not much options if lightweight, fitment comfort and features is what you are looking for.

Can't go wrong with Shoei anyway. Good aftermarket support

try also looking at LSH Racing world near publika.

they carry lazer, caberg and also AGV.

the caberg drift evo carbon is pretty cheap for a carbon fiber helmet and very comfy as well.

works with my glasses at least...

otherwise u can look at the AGVs as well.

I'm using L size eventhough their sizing chart recommends M size , can't fit at all.
I'm using Cardo Spirit in my C70 helmet , so far no issue even without a dedicated intercom speak port

Yeah, I realized that.
Shoei sized me borderline L and XL. Tried both, found L to be more fitting.
HJC sized me L, but no can go at all. XL seems just nice.
Others like KYT I had to go XXL.

BTW, took the plunge and ordered a C70 XL.
Guy from HJC been very helpful at side, so decided to take the plune.

Have to agree with you when come to specs fitting into a head fitting helmet for me... sigh... expensive problem

Tried AGV, no go with my specs.
Moreover, at the price point, I am more inclined to spend on Shoei that I am already familiar with.
Just my preference lah.

Had seen this kind of design before at a shop, not HJC but can't remember the name. Might be Nolan or something.

Looks really cool, but just feels like a little too much "components" to be bringing out on a bike ride that's supposed to be light on luggage and bits/pieces.

This is what they call a "street fighter" convertible. MT has them, as does Scorpion and as you mentioned, Nolan, although Nolan's version tend to gravitate towards a more adventury look.

Other than the looks, its not my cup of tea. They tend to be heavier (the nolan version weights a brick), compromised visibility and safety, and very noisy.


As for me, I'm still waiting for the Scorpion ADX2 to come in to replace my MT modular.

Yeah, same here not my cuppa.

This shop I went to look for full face and in turn they try to upsell me that Nolan that weighs a brick and quite m9lf (mahkaolanfan) to handle.

That fella also gave me the wrong advise on what type of frames I should go for if I wanted good fit in helmet.. followed his advise spent Rm600 for a wrong result biggrin.gif

Another education fees paid. biggrin.gif

Received my HJC C70.
Tried installing speakers, no can go.
Hitting my ear and cheek regardless on the position.
So need to mod it a little.

Yeah, no speaker port.

Bought with full knowledge about it.

Expecting to mod a little if needed. Now confirm need to mod laugh.gif

Not a difficult mod if you are a DIY person.

Mine is 40mm speaker. Thickness about the same as Cardo.

I think your head shape may not be as wide as mine.

No matter where I position the speaker it will hit my head / ear

Now have to make a speaker pocket inside. Still waiting for my cookie cutter to arrive for this job 😬

Ok, mod done. Will share pic if you want to see how it's done.

Have to totally bury the speaker in and flush with the original foam level, even 1mm above the original level, it hits my head.

Means XL size is really wrapping my head in the right way but without pressure points.

Bro, wanna ask how you think bout the helmet? Anyway, does it have speaker holes inside? Looking for replacement for my daily helmet LS2 modular.. Watch few YT reviews but none showing the inside part, give up d.. sweat.gif
Anyway, the side view wide enough? Coz my other shark helmet side view is significantly less than LS2 which I need to make some effort to look left and right and also need to take out my helmet if I need to reverse.. rclxub.gif
