SteelRain 0 Posted April 27, 2010 I have never heard good stuff about Icon, I have seen an Icon helmet disintegrate in a minor fall. For the first time ever I have been hearing good things. This helmet is in the same price range as the Shoei Hornet DS; I'm looking forward to the review! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baldbeemer 0 Posted April 27, 2010 HWY noise? how is it at 70? It's the mistress's helmet so she'll have to elaborate. Here's a review from ADV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mistress of the dual 1 Posted April 27, 2010 I'm really not a good person to give reviews on the Icon Variant since I'm still new to the whole motorcycle riding thing. I'm coming from an older HJC dirt bike helmet that I stole from Baldbeemer because it fit me so well. The visibility range is pretty awesome compared to the HJC and the lack of buffeting at 55mph was pretty cool. I have not tried either the Arai XD3 or the Shoei Hornet so I have no idea how the Variant will compare to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
