Need a new lid, decided on a Shark, Shoei or AGV. But can't make my mind up. They all fit OK so there is little difference here.
Anyone had or has one these i'd appreciate any tips or comments to help me decide.

They're all much of a muchness - I prefer Shoei, they seem to be a little better made than the others (Arai excluded)

Shoei

IMHO best out of those 3 and has the quickest visor change system to, or so I have been told

My brother had an AGV after a shoei and said, that it was crap compared to the Shoei

If you mean the V-Flyer then yes i agree it does mist, even with my neck tube pulled over my nose. Not the best helmet I've had. The quick change visor system keeps snapping the lugs on my visors. I've had 2 in 12 Months at £35 each!!!!. I have just ordered a X-lite 901 to try. Can't really recommend AGV helmets with this visor system.

Shoei every time, from personal experience

Had an AGV Rossi rep about 5 years ago and it was the NOISIEST helmet I've ever had, leaked down the back of the visor too :cry:

I've had a couple of Shoei's (XR1000) and now sport an AGV Ti-Tech.

To be honest I prefer the Shoei, purely for the visor fitting system, the only reason that I switched was that the AGV fitted my head better (I still wear my Kagayama rep every now and then).

The AGV anti fog visor has so far been brilliant hardly any misting. The Shoei's with the pinlock are equally as good.

IMO theres not alot to split the XR1000 and the Ti-Tech other than the fit.

Im very happy with my XR1000 Kagayama rep after switching from a Craft lid. The Shoei is much lighter and a bit quieter. The visor change system is very quick and easy to use too.
