Ok I have had my helmet for about 7 months now. Let me tell ya it is the SH!*
It is a little louder then the rf-1000 or my old hjc well about the same as the hjc i guess. But hella comfortable (you can switch out diff sizes of misc. pads inside to fit your head)and air flow, yeah lets talk about air flow. You couldnt get more air flow then if you were sitting behind Jack Black after Taco night. Well without the smell, ;) I ride in the canyons of southern cali near the border of mexico and it gets HOT. ( I saw Beare sp? Grilles out there and he was dying man) But with that helmet my head stays cool and breezy- does suck when someone runs over a skunk though :p So if you like staying cool and safe and want comfort but dont mind a lil wind noise from the air flow then the X-11 is a good buy- lil pricey though but just shop around on ebay.

Shoei are nice helmets. I have a suomy, but ALMOST bought an X-11. Post up some pics when you get a chance.
Ok will do
thanks for the post. I actually just ordered my x-11. I have always used rf-1000 but the store sold me on the fact that there is a lot more air flow. I was a little skeptical until reading this post. now I can't wait for it to come in
+1 to what the OP said

I have an X-11 and love it also
I have the X-11 TC5. It's by far the best lid I've ever owned!!!
Love the X-11. It's cool inside. Riding in Texas is a bitch during summer. However, I don't sweat as much in X-11.
For nothern climates, would you guys suggest the rf-1000 or the x-11?
...and air flow, yeah lets talk about air flow. You couldnt get more air flow then if you were sitting behind Jack Black after Taco night. Well without the smell, ;) ...
lmao! that is one of the funniest analogies i've heard. :lmao
is the kato range x11 or rf1000?
what about the vermeulen?
cos im considering those 2 with agv rossi and arai nakano
but i think arai is out..way too expensive!!
it's x-11 so is the vermeulen
