Spin today reminded me.....

Is it the XT screen of just my helmet, Shoei Multitec, but when I'm out on faster roads or more wind on less fast roads all I can hear is bloody wind noise.

Is this mainly the helmet or anything to do with the XT screen height etc ?

Want to get a C3 anyway !!

Eric.

Leigh used to wear a Shoei and mentioned the wind noise was more than the cheep Carsberg she bought

You only need two bikes in life-an S1 and a Multistrada!

I was warned away from the Multitec for just that reason. My C3 is v quiet. I've worn earplugs for donkey's years, but haven't bothered at all this year, since getting the Schuberth.

EH? SPEAK UP LAD!




... anyway, don't you have a you should be driving?

I have an XT and a Shoei XR1000 and it's ridiculously noisy (I'm 6' tall). It's so bad that I've now got a mild tinnitus from riding on the motorway at speed into a strong headwind with this combination.

I tried the Palmer brackets but that didn't work for me and so now I'm using a screen from the X which is much better, but just puts a bit more wind on my chest.

Get some hearing protection before it's too late! Can recommend Ultimate Ear or Howard Leight Max Lite earplugs.

My next helmet will be test-ridden before purchase for sure.

I wear the earplugs no matter what.never without them. I did once try both my screens without earplugs just to see the difference between my DoubleBubble and racing. The DB definately had less wind noise/buffeting so your screen may not be helping matters.

I've got a Dainese helmet which is great but I should wear earplugs especially on a long ride. I forgot to put them in on sunday and it became uncomfortable after a while because of the noise.
