  This review is about the colour: Red

  I have been the owner of this specific product for almost a year now. As I read in other reviews, I am also very bothered by the mechanism of the micro-metric fastening on the neck and specifically on the throat. The air that the central air duct puts in the chin is not enough for anyone, to the point where I think it is clogged. Other than that, it is a good helmet compared to the corresponding Chinese or European ones, but the quality of the materials has nothing to do with the older 1100 that I used to steal from my father. This year I will seek quality and safety in an Arai Quantic

  Very good quality of materials, assembly, and excellent aerodynamics. With a short windscreen, the naked motorcycle will obviously be noisy and will need earplugs on long rides, but compared to my old Xlite, it is quite quieter. In the first few days, the helmet will be quite tight, but over time it adjusts and takes the shape of the head. Mine adjusted after a month of daily use and the first wash.
  Something very important is that spare parts for the helmet are available on Shoei's official website. Whatever breaks, you can find it there, unlike Nolan, where you depend on the terrible distribution network in Greece.
  In terms of ventilation, it performs excellently. You can feel the difference with the air vents open. As for the negatives, I would mention the fogging of the smoked visor and the quite expensive Bluetooth system.
  For city use, I would choose a more economical helmet and keep this one for long rides or trips.

  I give it 1 star to draw your attention to read the comment. Otherwise, I would have given more stars because it is an excellent helmet but it lacks in other areas!
  While it is a very good helmet, it has the disadvantage that for people like me who weigh more (1.80 120kg), the strap that fastens under the chin closes with difficulty, resulting in me not being able to swallow well while wearing it. The strap is very short and not durable. Maybe if I lose weight, it will fit better, but for now, it's not for me. I don't have a big head, I bought a large size, but it bothers my chin and I am surprised that Shoei did not anticipate this. I assume that because the Japanese and Chinese have petite characteristics, it was intended for the Asian market and they did not foresee us since we are a small audience for them. For slim or regular-sized people, it is perfect, but always try it before buying.

  Everything is good but when it comes to noise, I expected a lot more from a helmet that costs 510€....
  For a trip without the large visor or the additional small window, earplugs are needed.

  Before this, I had the nxr, this helmet is on another level, both in terms of noise level and feeling, you feel like you're not wearing a helmet, the ventilation is so good that I really feel like I'm not wearing a helmet.
  The glasses, on the other hand, are the most convenient thing because you don't need to clean them constantly like regular ones because they are hidden and don't create scratches or fingerprints like regular glasses.
  The helmet is worth 100% of its money, it is very comfortable and has an incredible feeling. (I use it on an upright on-off motorcycle)

  This review is about the colour: Gray

  My previous helmet was not Shoei. I had seen comparative tests on the internet and during the pandemic, I took the risk and bought this helmet following the store's instructions. The helmet has the same weight as the previous one but due to its aerodynamics, it doesn't tire me out as much on long trips. It is extremely quiet and when it's raining, it has this clever feature with a slightly open visor that allows you to continue without fogging up. Lastly, it has very good ventilation compared to the previous one, which was also not a coincidence. I believe it is a very good purchase.
  I got it in gray because there simply wasn't any other color available in my size, but the more I have it, the more I like it.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  Coming from the 1100, I can say that I am disappointed. Lower quality plastics with a terrible problem with the pinlock pins, it's a joke. Already, two of them have broken, including the spare ones, and the additional representative gave me two more that don't fit perfectly, and they come off every time I open or close the visor. There is also a problem with the pinlock visor, it gets foggy because of the pins. Additionally, the ventilation is terrible compared to the 1100. I wouldn't buy this model with what I see now

  It is the 3rd Shoei helmet in a row that I have.
  Xr1100 (350 euros white), Gt air 1 (580 euros colored), and now the Gt air 2 (410 euros white).
  The most important thing is to find a brand that "fits" your head.
  For example, Arai that I had tried didn't fit me.
  When I first tried Shoei, it fit.
  Expensive, yes... but there is a difference from the cheap ones.
  In terms of materials, sun visor material (it's like wearing good sunglasses), aerodynamics.
  If you don't ride long distances, on trips outside the city, to make use of the aerodynamic advantage that these helmets give you, then no, they won't be worth the money.
  Clearly better airflow than the gt-air 1 towards the interior.
  YES, you will sweat inside the city with the GT-AIR 2, it doesn't have air conditioning and it is a closed type.
  From personal experience and having already paid a lot of money for helmets, for riding only in the center of Athens (without trips), one costing 150-250 euros will do the job.
  In any (proper) store you go to, they will tell you that helmets will save you in a fall, in a head collision, and in a light impact. That's where the material you paid for will show.
  In a frontal collision, luck plays a role...
  Personally, don't spend money on colors. Okay if you have the money to throw away, (I regret spending the extra 150+ euros for color on the gt-air 1)

  The big problem
  All helmets have a 5-year warranty, after that it's your personal responsibility. As if, if you hit something, if you fall within 3 years, you will take it to the company to sue them (if you survive)... they will tell you that you left it in the sun. (Such things have happened)
  Also, when the store has had it in the box for 4 years, what do you do? In response to my question, they have told me, well, the sun doesn't see it here. On various "expert" websites, they tell you whether the sun affects it or not, the materials polymerize. It needs to be replaced!
  So, figure it out for yourself. Either you have to buy a "fresh" helmet in circulation or you don't care about the 5-year period.

  One last thing I forgot to mention and maybe the helmet could lose its star. (But here we are talking about our protection and not the stickers)
  The Shoei sticker on the front "melts" in the summer. (I researched it on the internet and it is a common phenomenon)
  For example, what happened to me... I rode for 1 hour under the sun and I put it under the seat of the scooter and it touched the interior of the seat, half of the logo became like melted Turkish delight. I had to remove it completely with a hairdryer and a card...
  Of course, I found an opportunity to put a nicer one, hehe

  The most important thing
  I always wish to stay upright.
  Let's hope we never have to test them.

  Guys, the helmet is amazing. You turn your head at 130 and you don't feel anything. It's perfect for a naked bike. It becomes one with your head and there's no difference whether you're going at 50 or 150. It has perfect aerodynamics

  This review is about the colour: Black

  The helmet is very good but I have a problem when wearing it for a long time on trips. When I bought it, I wore it in the store for half an hour and it didn't press anywhere. On city routes and short trips up to one and a half to two hours, no problem. From there on, a slight pain starts on the cheeks that gradually becomes unbearable, and in half an hour it is impossible to continue and I have to stop and take it off. I made a change with a friend who has an hjc. I took out the sponges, pressed the layer below with a spoon to open it a little (it is the layer that has the ability to deform in case of impact) but still nothing. If I hadn't tried it for so long, I would have thought that I was at fault during the purchase, but this is not true because it hurts after a long time on my trips. It's a shame because otherwise it is a very good helmet but quite heavy.

  Excellent in everything ..
  The only issue is that it has a small opening and when you try to put it on, it's quite difficult even if you have chosen the right size.
  I have the blue one which is also beautiful, size M.
  If it didn't have the small opening, it would be perfect

  Excellent helmet with emphasis on quality. Very good construction materials. Practical that the visor opens in a small first position so that it does not fog up when you don't use the pinlock (included in the package) and you are at a standstill. As soon as you gain speed, you close it and you feel like you closed the door on external noise. It fits perfectly with the SENA SRL 2 communication system, so aerodynamic noises are avoided. With the use of a balaclava, external noises are minimal, you have to lift the visor to hear what the other person is saying while at a standstill. After 100 km, if you turn your head right or left, you understand the stability of the helmet, you feel the pressure of the air, and you feel it when you turn your head, but it returns smoothly when you look straight ahead without any strange vibrations. Very good fastening. It has a carrying and protective case. You can't call it a light helmet, 1,600 gr in size large, but it is sturdy, very well balanced, so it doesn't tire you on the journey. The Sunvisor is also practical for the sun, with very good visibility even if you have it in front of you.

  Very beautiful helmet with excellent visibility and a very good buckle. Good ventilation, perfect SunVision, and relatively quiet. I hope I don't have to test it in a crash test, but I believe it is a very safe and reliable helmet like the XR 1100 that I had and it truly saved me. Don't hesitate to spend the money, it's worth it.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  I bought it 2 years ago for 499. And if I have traveled with it. It's Japanese, what can we do, especially Shoei. Now I chose the GT Air 2 because it is compatible with Sena accessories exclusively for this. I don't like the accessories to stand out. When the years pass and before the model is discontinued, I will get another one until the end

  Former owner of Gt-Air I. It's day and night, I was riding in 37C and my head didn't sweat. Quiet and lightweight helmet with the Shoei guarantee. Take it with closed eyes, it is a reliable choice for your protection.

  This review is about the colour: Blue

  Replaced a €90 mt targo. My ears were relieved from the noise. Now I only hear the wind and not the hurricane from the air swirl.
  The blue color is beautiful. Perfect visibility. The sun visor opens and closes easily with a sliding switch.
  And in my previous helmets, I wore size L just like in this one.
  Time will tell the quality or not, of course.
  But I, for one, will not buy mt or other cheap ones again.
  I ride a Versys 650 and I go on the highway every day because of work.
