The Nexx XT1 Carbon Zero Helmet is wonderfully lightweight, and people should have an easy time carrying it around with them and wearing the helmet on long journeys.

Carbon fiber motorcycle helmets have been highly regarded for multiple reasons. Their light weight, their streamlined quality, and their durability have all been praised, and this helmet has all of those qualities in spades.

This helmet is also a very modern and convenient device, with its NEXX X-COM Bluetooth Communication System. The upper air vent feature will add to the airflow of the device.

The sun shield has an eighty percent tint, so people can expect plenty of protection from the sun without having to worry about their visibility being compromised. No one is going to have to switch out the visors for the sake of day and night riding. The helmet is padded enough that it is comfortable for people to wear and easy to remove and put into place at the same time.

There are some trade-offs involved with lighter helmets. For one thing, they’re often going to be a little noisier than the heavier ones. However, the Nexx XT1 Carbon Zero Helmet is still relatively quiet, and people should still manage to enjoy a smooth and comfortable ride while using the Nexx Helmet for protection. Riders can actually expect a much more enjoyable motorcycle ride as a result of this helmet.

AGV Pista GP Carbon Helmet

This helmet has a smooth and round oval shape. The color is matte black, and the overall helmet has a texture to it that makes it appear more rugged. The visor is very large and it occupies a huge portion of the frontal space of the helmet.

The AGV Pista GP Carbon Helmet offers much better ultraviolet protection than people are going to get in almost all other circumstances with these sorts of helmets.

It’s a very visually appealing helmet that people can use for the sake of appearing stylish while they are trying to protect themselves from the elements during a ride. The manufacturers avoided making the assumption that one size fits all, and the AGV Pista GP Carbon Helmet is available in a range of sizes.

The AGV Pista Helmet provides much better safety ratings than people are going to find with a wide range of other motorcycle helmets in this same product range. However, the Pista Helmet is just as streamlined and effective as many of the best motorcycle helmets on the market, slicing through the air more effectively than most others.

As such, people are probably going to be able to get much better results when they are using this helmet during a ride. When riders turn their heads from side to side during their rides, it should be comparatively easy to do so as a result of the multitudes of reductions in drag during the process.

This is also a helmet that should truly provide people with more than enough visibility. The lateral and forward visibility are both much better than most people will get with competing types of motorcycle helmets. The visors are thick and provide really excellent clarity for almost anyone who is going to be using them. It’s relatively easy for people to shape this helmet to their own needs, and the AGV Carbon Helmet should provide more than enough comfort for anyone involved. This is a helmet that is effective as well as easy to wear.

Naturally, many people are going to prize the style of their helmets above most other characteristics, and the Simpson Ghost Helmet is truly excellent stylistically. This helmet is also much more cost effective than most of the others on the market today.

The Simpson Ghost Bandit Carbon Helmet does have a tendency to get foggy, which might be a problem for people who are traveling in certain climates. Some people might find that the noise control aspect of this helmet is poor compared to some of the other helmets that they might find in this price range or product range. However, motorcycle riders vary in their tolerance for noise in general, and this is a helmet that might have enough appeal that it doesn’t really matter to anyone.

Nexx XG100 Carbon Helmet

The XG100 carbon helmet by Nexx has that look of a vintage helmet with a little bit of class.

With superior shell strength, this classic looking helmet will not be damaged under the harshest conditions or accidents.

Fogginess is a problem with a lot of helmets in this product range, and the Variant Ghost Helmet was designed to be resistant to fog.

The visibility for this helmet in general is among the best that people are going to find. Individuals who have struggled with issues of visibility with their helmets in the past are really going to appreciate the design of the Icon Variant Ghost Helmet.

This is a helmet that should provide people with a wide enough view that they can easily navigate when they are on the road. The aerodynamics of the Variant Carbon Fiber Helmet should be favorable for all riders, whether they are experienced or not.

The Ghost Carbon Helmet from Icon is also much quieter than what people are usually going to find with the helmets in this product category.

The Simpson M30 Bandit DOT Satin Carbon Fiber Motorcycle Helmet has an almost perfectly round and smooth look to it. It has a solid and very opaque matte black appearance. The vents are conveniently located in the frontal area of the helmet, which otherwise has a smooth, soft, and yet still solid appearance.
