VOL. 54 ISSUE 33 AUGUST 22, 2017 P109
I spent about six hours in the
DT-X and in the middle of the day
found I was getting hotspots on
the edges of my temples and at
the top rear of my head. I put that
down mainly to not being able
to adjust the comfort liner at the
crown (there are 5mm cut-outs on
the side of the comfort liner and
cheek pads for microfitting). On
a cool day I don't think this would
have bothered me so much,
however I've ridden all types of
weather in my Corsair-X and never
had this issue. I guess that's what
you get when you spend $350+
extra for a helmet.
The fit of any helmet is the most
personal aspect of motorcycle rid-
ing and me telling you this will be
the best helmet for your head is
complete nonsense. In my case, I
(Left) On the left
is the liner from
the much more
expensive Arai
Corsair-X. That's
partially where your
money goes with a
cheaper helmet.
(Below) The DT-X
can be fitted with
Arai's Pro Shield
system, to allow the
rider to run both a
clear and dark visor.
