looked everywhere just thought id ask here does anyone know if the suomy helmets are made smaller ? i know arai or shoei you need the next size up as they are built on the small size

anyone know? or own one etc

I wouldn't even think about buying a helmet without first trying one on

i have tryed most helmets arai shoei etc but the hein gericke store i used to go too (before it closed down) never had any in stock ill see if i can find a store in leicester who stocks them in my size (xl)

AGV small is a Suomy medium

so ill need an xxl then as i am an xl i know i have a fat head but jesus ...

i think im just going to go with the shoei b-boz cost alot more then the suomy but in this world you get what you pay for and plus most it of will not be coming out my pocket

Suomy did 2 different types of lids - one based in an Arai RX7 and the other based on Shoei X1100 (I think) and they are same sizes

I worked for a dealer who sold Suomy's so I know a little about them and can cross reference a little

bigB you are da man ! so....iv tryed on a few arai's never really was ''feeling'' it wrong size head shape i spose and can you or the dealer get me an xxl to test try ?

No longer work for them mate lol

But I'm pretty sure you can get an XXL, I highly rate Suomy as well, saved my life once (as did my agv Ti tech) I have a lid for the track and one for the road, have crashed with both, as mad as it sounds, the Suomy is nicer to crash in lol the Suomy Arai I think is a nicer fit over the normal Arai, as is the Suomy Shoei, but that's on my head, you have a much much much bigger head than me and you might find something comfy when I don't, vicer versa, honestly, go to a main dealer and try it on, no use buying a lid and it don't fit, you'll only come back and bite my head off.

I used to be a massive AGV person, then they stopped the Ti-Tech and started to feel cheap, nothing touches my head other than Nolan/X-Lite/Suomy now...but that's just me

They are (used to be - not sure if they are anymore) part of the Nolan group, think X-lite, grex (so comfy!) and I'm sure there's another.

in shoei im a XL my HJC fg-15 is an xxl but my other HJC man is an xl and my airoh rs is an xxl ......weird

and thats the problem im finding is a place that stocks xl plus xxl so i can try on both

Your best bet - if you can hold out that long, wait til the NEC bike show in December, they'll have every size and lid there, there's one particular lid from America I want to try - ICON Carbon Airframe...but i'm a bit uncertain about it as no where in the uk seem to stock this helmet

yeah i can wait no rush ill DEFO be there

and cant be get a meet up there ? a zxrworld ride in
