KTM Doug Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Anyone running this new helmet and if so, what's your verdict? Link to comment
mbelectric Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hey Dougie, Have one, bought 2 mos ago. Use it for commuting from Central Valley to SF Bay Area. I like it. Light. Flows good air. Not noisy like my Arai. Great fit. Good visibility. Like the flip down tinted visor inside, easy mechanism to operate left side near visor pivot allows me to mount Sena Bluetooth unit without hassle. Removable, washable, replaceable interior. Haven't tried the included Pinlok system yet. They got it right with this one, I like it. I use a Multitec on long trips. Try one on and take a short ride. If the dealer doesn't allow this, find another dealer. MB> Link to comment
KTM Doug Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Thanks for the feedback. Guess you were the only one to spend the big bucks. I tried on my friends new RF1100 and it felt pretty good. Probably going to the Gear and try the GT tomorrow. If you will be coming thru the Livermore Valley sometime, let me know ahead of time and I'll have a cool one ready. Link to comment
mbelectric Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Well, this week you won't catch me as I'll be out on the salt with the Ack streamliner... But, usually my route is 680, 84, Concannon, Tesla, Cross, Old Patterson Pass, 205, 5, 99. Have you tried Altamont Brewing on Vasco yet? MB> Link to comment
KTM Doug Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Have not been to Altamont yet. If you come down Concannon, you are a stones throw from Casa Doug. Link to comment
kgerry Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 i don't have any experience with the GT-Air, but i bought their Neotec and couldn't imagine using another helmet now.... Shoei makes a darn nice helmet.... Link to comment
steve_w Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 bought one at the MOA event in Salem, OR and used it on ride home to Michigan. Helmet is quiet, love the sun visor--hardly need sunglasses, and the pin lock insert is great--just make sure both surfaces are clean when you attach the pin lock insert. air flow is good, and when vents open helmet is much quieter than my old Arai. if you try one, you'll most likely buy it.

KTM Doug Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Thanks. Bought a white with red and blue accents Friday. Have not given it a test yet. I liked all the features it had. Link to comment
