Arguably one of my most favourite helmets on the market. Shoei are known for their innovative design and general comfort, matched with fantastic graphics - the example to the right being the Seduction graphic.
With multiple venting systems on the front, top and back, even in hot temperatures, you will generally stay rather cool. I do however, find that once compression happens over the cheek pads, wind noise does increase drastically, and as such would recommend changing out cheek pads regularly for close fit.
The perfect street helmet, but I find it can sit a little low for track work, with the visor viewing area being almost too low. This is where the X-Spirit would make its mark over the NXR. It is nice and light for a full face helmet, and comfortable no matter what the distance of travel.
The NXR is due for an update in overall design, and I will be keen to see what Shoei have in store!
