From what I've read on other forums and in MCN the tests are not consistent, also they use the same size headform in different size lids.

Also there was another bit that if the SHARP test wouldnt work properly on the helmet because of an air vent or someting, then they could do the test in a different place on the lid.

Personally I dont take much stand by the test results. Sounds like a test somebody in the government has dreamt up and whoever did so doesnt really get what a motorcycle lid is supposed to do.

I'll stick with my 3* Arai. Its comfy, it fits nuff said IMHO

Shoei XR-1000 here. Not sure if I'm happy about 3 stars or not! Would like more detail on the tests and specifically the results for each helmet that would then result in the rating. Saying "3 stars" doesn't mean very much to me...

HJC AC-11 not on... Though it did come 4th in Rides recent review. So cant be far off I guess. :)

Perhaps all the Arai owners should have saved the £200 premium they paid for the cleaning kit and poncy marketing, wadded it up and used the notes to pad out a cheaper lid. Woulda probably passed the test then!
