Their videos are usually a bit on the starchy side, but there’s some decent information in this video from Champion Helmets in the Netherlands (8m 30s).
In comparison to the quietest helmets overall (including full face helmets), it probably ranks around average. But that’s very quiet for an open face and a great performance by Shoei’s engineers. Ventilation (more about helmet ventilation) And it means they can happily offer a 5 year warranty on the manufacture of all their helmets. Best places to buy a Shoei J-Cruise II? Some open-face helmets have a drop-down sunshield that helps protect the eyes, but wind will typically still whip up under these at speed. Really, you’ll need to buy a pair of goggles to wear with an open-face lid. You’ll find a ‘J’ on the label, indicating that it’s homologated as a ‘jet’, or open-face helmet. Shark Spartan RS | The Spartan RS impressed our reviewer with its comfort and luxurious build quality. It’s also got some great styling. If it fits you, it could be a good mid-price option.Shoei Glamster | The Glamster combines modern tech with a distinctly slim, retro style. Ventilation is limited, and the visor proved a little clunky, but if the looks appeal, it could be a good choice. Single handed operation us usually achieved by using a slide or lever mounted externally on the helmet. (175) Shoei ex-zero | This visor-less retro-styled full-face lid is dearer than the AGV, but it does include a drop-down sun-shield. It’s a close-call between this and the AGV X101 for styling, but judge it on fit and whether you want a sun-shield. I loved wearing this on the Ducati Diavel launch. Sena Savage | The Savage seems to have been discontinued, and we’re struggling to find any for sale. Which is a shame, as it’s a really great – if plain – open-face helmet with good quality Bluetooth comms built in.
Helmet fit is extremely subjective, so always try any lid on (or other biking gear) before you buy. I find the Savage to be very comfortable with no pressure points; If anything it’s perhaps slightly on the large side for me, but not to the extent that I’d consider going down to a small. Finally, Bell’s Custom 500 has that low-profile classic look in spades – and it’ll fit most bluetooth sets too. It’s available in fibre or carbon shells and is the original classic open face helmet. None None None of the interior padding can be removed for washing, however helmet sanitizer can still be used to help keep the interior clean. (19) Arai RX-7 Evo | Considered by many to be the pinnacle of full-face sports helmets, the RX-7 offers excellent venting, though it does come at a premium price. The three-button control on the helmet’s left side is simple and intuitive. Most of the system’s major functions are mapped to a single button press.
Shell material —Polycarbonate is okay, but you’d be better served with carbon fiber (expensive) or fiberglass. All the helmets called out here (save for one) are fiberglass. HJC C80 | The C80 is both an adventure lid with a peak, and a flip-front. Some Goggles will fit, but it’s not designed for them, and we did find the peak shook at speed on some bikes. So that means there’s one shell size each covering fitment sizes XS-S, M, L and XL-XXL. This one’s the Adagio graphic J-Cruise II Prices are generally higher due to more advanced production methods but often results in a lighter, safer helmet. (59) So, here’s what the Shoei J-Cruise II is actually like – taken from the comments and opinions of riders around the web who actually own one.
Helmet roll-off is a potential thing with all helmets – but a double-d ring fastener should be good for keeping it firmly on your head. Just make sure you’re diligent with fastening it – any strap’s only as effective as the piece of meat who’s fastening it up.With 20 years of technical development experience behind us, Sena continues to produce innovative communication solutions for 2-wheel and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.
