Conclusion
The XR-1100 is a truly superb helmet and I would expect a lot of other brands to follow suit with its design's over the oming years, in terms of construction it is exceptional with all of the fittings having a solid and expensive feel to them.
Ventilation is huge, I have never felt anything like it from a helmet before but with this comes a noisy downside so unless you are wearing your earplugs it might get a touch loud with all the front vents in action. Surely you are wearing your plugs though - right?
In terms of the Sharp rating it has not been tested as yet so until then it gets the standard 3 star rating I give other helmets but I would expect the Shoei to be as highly rated on safety as previous models.
Overall this is a remarkable helmet, a great shape leads to reduced fatigue and ventilation that will keep your head cool and dry in the hottest conditions - 5 star rating from me!
