Hi all,
I saw someone with a Roof Boxer V8 brand helmet yesterday; the chin flips all the way to the back as the brand Shark does. He thinks is the best helmet he ever wore.
I understand they are not made or sold in USA and have to be purchased abroad.

I was wondering if any of you could provide me with any feedback?

I presently use a modular AGV but combined with the windshield of my 1200R, makes the visor vibrate and become noisy at highway speeds.

I will also appreciate any feedback on the new Nolan trilogy.

thank you all and happy Thanksgiving day!
Silvio.

I had one of the Roof "Boxer" helmets, when they first came out.
I liked it very much. Although it did not quite give me the same feeling of security that my Arai does.
FC- moto, in Germany stocks them. And they are a good company to deal with.

You may want to contact San Jose BMW regarding the Schuberth helmet. I've never had one but I've heard they're the best flip-up helmet available.

Schuberth helmets are much less expensive through FC-MOTO.
Don't forget that you will not be paying VAT (about 19%). So When you look at the prices, deduct 19% to figure what you really will be paying.
And shipping is fast & cheap!

You may get some good information from this series of reviews:

Here's a quote that has me bypassing this helmet:

"I read that during a recent accident the boxer's chin bar opened up after first impact and I totally believe that it'll happen every time. These buckles suck!! On top of it I need both hands to close them. I need to find the perfect placement and align them just right so they will close and usually I use both hands, something that makes it annoying when I'm just entering the freeway."

For me, it's the case that I like my jaw fairly well. And I like my jaw in place, attached to my head, VERY much!
