Nexx 1R1 helmet is loud!!

[Claviger]

Try manipulating the ear pads inside, they move to accommodate intercom systems, but because of their size they really change how quiet/loud it is.

Just a point I have a head that is quite long from my face to the back of my head and very narrow from left to right, a very long oval. The nexx fits me like a glove, perhaps it feels comfortable for more round heads but still is "off" enough to let lots of wind noise in.

Could also be that you are accustomed to very quiet helmets so the nexx is loud to you and other were used to loud helmets so the nexx seemed quiet, duno. Hope you find a way to make it work, hey are sexy looking and very light.

Cool, thanks for the info, i'll try and work with the ear pads and see if i can get it quieter. I really want to like the helmet, its light and comfortable and does look cool...

Something I just found reading about the x1r1, the carbon looks similar but is quite different.

In what way is the carbon helmet different to the tri composite besides weight? Is that what you're saying?

According to webbikeworld, the fiberglass based helm is 2 shells for all sizes where the carbon in 3. The carbon, from reviews I have read also has better fit/finish, and mine at least has the newer visor attachment system. Saw one review that said the interiors were different materials as well.

No idea what exactly is true, as it seems the X1R1 has gone through multiple revisions, so it is possible they are all true depending which generation you compare.

Mine is a Carbon, so yeah, not sure exactly what that changes since it appears there are multiple versions within the same model over the past 4 years :/
