BC,Ive tried on all of the current Arai's except the RX-7 Corsair.
I have a Signet which is oval and an Astral which is an intermidate oval.
The Astral fit is best.
Frankly Arai's website description is a little sketchy ...I know the Astral is an intermediate oval but on the website it almost reads like its more round and the RX-7 reads like its an intermediate oval.
Honestly any Arai in M ive tried on fits me better than
most any other helmet so I doubt I can go wrong with any.
Ive looked into a Shoei RF-1000 but I dont like the fit ...Suomy is off the list too.
Help me out here. I am either getting another Astral or an RX-7 Corsair.
The RX-7 is only $50 more my cost so that is not an issue.
While I am at it, if anyone here has an RX-7 Corsair ..tell me about it and how you compare it to other Arai's you have had.
thanks
I tried on both the Arai RX-7 and Shoei X-11 and the Arai fit my Round head better. Shoei fits better on oval heads and left a small gap between the to pof my head and the inner padding of the helmet. the aRai was a more consistent fit around my head.
BTW, I wear an XL...just my .02.
