I've been an Arai boy since i started to ride but after reading all the reviews (inclduing this one), couldnt help myself. Arrived today and cant wait to go for a ride this weekend.
My last 6 helmets have been Arais and after using my pista gp r all summer i can honestly say i wont go back. The fit is perfect with being really tight but no pressure and i ride with ear buds so the padding keeps them in no matter what. The helmet also looks way more aggressive than the arais so when im at the starbucks im getting nothing but attention .
The only complaint(if its even a legitimate one) is that the visor mechanism isnt tight enough so when im riding around with the visor up and i hit a big enough bump the visor can come down a bit.
I too went from Arai to AGV (GP Techs and Corsa) and I find the fit is near the same for me. The AGV is every bit as nice but I can always find them at a better price than a comparable Arai.
Anybody know where to get visor parts for the AGV Pista ? One of my visors, the small retaining clip on the visor itself broke and now it wont attach. I need the small internal parts for the sides of the visor.
