I can't comment on that. I wear earplugs so if it is loud then I don't notice.

Suomy makes a badass lid, wore my friends very very light.
rf1000 also nice but heavier.

That looks awesome. I can only hope that when I start looking for a new, nicer helmet that Suomy will make one that fits my head.

I heard they have low horizons on 'em. Meaning, if you're leaned over good and you're looking through the turn, you see the top of the eye opening on 'em. One of my buddies who had one agreed and Cycle Gear let him trade it for a Shoei.

My husband has that helmet. It is the lightest helmet I've EVER worn/lifted. I mean, LIGHT. And, no... not loud. Well, not compared to the others out there... not more loud. I will tell you, that particular model has glitter in the stars. I give him crap about it all the time.

My Suomy doesn't have glitter...

They are extremely light and very very comfortable. I won't ever buy another brand of helmet.
