How's the side to side view work out for you? It looks like it has a neck that would limit the range you can turn your head side to side.

I think you are talking about the chin. No issue for me. If I am turning my head to look behind me, I do touch my shoulder plastic or titanium protector. I don't have a long face or abnormal big shoulders. Average athletic build for your reference. As far as view goes with your eyes is very good.

IMO, unless you really want the lightest and CF, get the Pista, but Corsa is better for the Street/track and a better bang for the buck.

Well, just back from the store really disappointed. Corsa and Pista are really light helmets but the Corsa does not fit me at all. Talk about pressure points but boy it gave me two prominent pressure points on the two top sides of my head. The moment I put it on, I said to my self I do not like this, the GP Tech is so much better fit wise.

As far as the Pista goes, I thought it would be of a similar fit but it was slightly different, those pressure points I talked about earlier was still there but not as a bad as the Corsa. If I was going to pay £800 for a helmet, I would want it to fit me perfect, no compromises what so ever!

I asked the adviser if he had tried it on and he said I do not like any of them! They were getting a similar pressure point to mine, I do not know what sort of head shape Corsa and Pista are designed for.

Mali,

The inside liner in the top of the shell has small disk that are to be adjusted by the user for correct fitment.

hope this helps.

-Cheers

Obviously, all helmets are made for different shaped head. I need to play little bit with liners. If I ride for 3 hours or more, I start to feel little discomfort. Arai, I can sleep with it and no discomfort but they are also broken well too.

Does your arai slide back when you ride at speed? It feels great, then the next thing you know my nose is touching the chin bar... TOo big for small, too small for large. Maybe I should try another brand? (Even though I don't want to

.)

OR would cheek pads fix this?

Yes, I've had it lift before but not sure the cause. I mean it could've been that I had the chin strap not tight enough.

Many thanks for the tip, I will go back to the store and ask them to remove the two disks on the top and try again. Hopefully, it will fit a lot better this time!

At the cycle world show the arai expert there fitted me for a helmet, I've always worn large or extra large I really wanted to buy the topline lid but he said the signet Q is the right helmet for my head shape, amazingly a medium!!! I never would've even tried it without his direction. That'll probably be my next lid

I was thinking the same thing, given the reviews. I currently use a COrsair.

Any one here tried the AGV Gt Veloce instead? Its almost the same as the Corsa, but made for touring side of things - a lot more comfortable and quieter.

You sir, must have a giant head.

Well as much as it pains me to day this I think I will be holding off buying the pista GP till it comes comes to the US, I have a feeling that choice might be better in the long run, although if I keep looking at it online that might change quickly
