The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

It's against my better judgement to wear any hat that isn't full face......But, these two are so slick & streamlined, like our PCX's ....Very tempting

A bit unusual looking but my current open face 3/4 helmet with its bulbous visor is not very fashionable.. I presume it will fit under the seat ok?

See the nexx helmets.

Not streamlined, just different.
Me no likey potty lids.

Cannot say I am personally keen on the design myself to be honest, and I also much prefer the safety ratings in general of full face helmets.

Okay all They are a bit odd looking and not as safe as my Shoei Qwest FF but, if that 1st lid fit me comfy, it would be.......Mine, all Mine Ordering online without trying it on in person is a bit tricky though. Sizing and all. Good chance for a return.
Nexx? Hmm, I'll take a look, I think I've seen that one surfing around.

I think the 1st one looks cool.

I wear a half helmet on (rare) occasion, if me and my wife are riding 2-up at the beach. Something like that would be way better than my half helmet in terms of protection.

Have you considered a modular helmet? They're quite handy.

I was at a dealer the other day and was shown a modular helmet that flipped all the way to the back so you could ride with it up without the wind trying to rip your head off. I think it was a shark but can't fully recall.

I've been wearing the AGV Blade for the last year. Its my second helmet. Fits better than my first, and is lighter. I bought the accessory flip down sunshield. It attaches to the same pivot points as the clear shield and layers over it. It can be pivoted up and acts as a shade/visor. Removal is easy for night riding. The Blade fits under the PCX seat- best with the front facing backward. They had some great discount prices on AGV's own site last time I looked.

Thanks so much for the info. Az, you mentioned your second one as being lighter, is that the newer model I saw on AGV's website? Could you please post a picture of yours With the sun visor on it? That sounds like a cool feature. Nice to see that they are Not expensive lids either

Like an HJC CL Max in light silver?

WhiteNoise-the Blade was my second helmet, but my first AGV. My starter helmet was also a 3/4 (brand:HJC ?) but it had an internal sun visor that scratched up pretty bad after just 6 months, and refills weren't cheap. Our local Ducati dealer had AGVs in stock, and even though I was just window-shopping I walked out with a new lid ($120). I've attached a shot of it with the visor. Matte Grey & White w/ added reflective tape accents.

Dustin Hoffman is following you....

Looks better with you modelling that helmet. The one I was shown is a shark evoline. It looked nice but just read a review that its very noisy and heavy. Next helmet I get will need to be quiet!

Pardon? What's that you say? Can you speak up a bit?

Don't you use earplugs?

I wear ear plugs. They make my ride more enjoyable. My band days were loud, I'm being careful now
Az, I appreciate the photo, thanks. I'm liking the Blade even more now...it Does look sharp on you & with the bike...
nice leather jacket too!

Anyone buying a new lid? Some good buys are out there as well as new arrivals.

I bought a Bell Airraid helmet for $99 last year. Pretty good deal and relatively quiet.

I have a blade on order. Should be here tomorrow.
Supposed to be very quiet and streamlined.
My current helmet is a mushroom.
