Shoei NXR 2 - Capriccio TC5

A snug, comfortable fit, for my lovely big head! The helmet colour scheme looks fantastic!

Great quality and sturdy construction as expected

Fits snug and has adequate venting without being too cold in the winter. Nice extras with the pinlick visor and chin net

Was looking for a helmet that had comfort and noise reduction. The Shoei NXR 2 had it all. This is a perfect fit and superb comfort and what made it even better is that days after purchasing this helmet on line I read a report that Shoei helmets are the 2nd safest helmets made, thoroughly tested with state of the art technology. Just perfect for every ride, comfort, quietness, and safety all in one.

Great lightweight helmet, but very noisy without having any music on. Whistling sound even without any vents open. So if you like to ride without music (or singing) pick something else, but other than that, can't fault this great lid

Ordered this Shoei helmet after a visit to the Bristol store.
After trying on several makes with the expert advice from Courtney (brilliant guy) who spent a good amount of time with us, we were advised to order a different size cheek pad to prevent pressure on the cheeks. Helmet arrived in the colour we wanted, which looks better than on the pictures, once the cheek pads were changed the fit is perfect. Pin lock (supplied) was an easy fit & all ready to go. Helmet is light in weight & very well made.
Top service by SBS as usual.

So I'll start off with the not so great. I'd read a ton of reviews before buying and most said the lid was quiet..it's not. Even with all vents closed it's noisy. Secondly, if you want to ride with your visor up a click or two, make sure you're riding under 20mph! It drops itself much above that. I can ride at 60 with the visor halfway up but it's a really loose mechanism.
Oh, and the Sena 10s I ride with needed to be fixed using the sticky pad as the original fixing wouldn't really work without messing with the padding.
On the plus side, fit is fantastic as comfort is excellent. Loving the 'who's that with a red helmet?' visibility and vents are excellent. Can definitely feel quality.
So pro's and cons but don't regret getting it…

Been using this helmet for a few months and it has been brilliant, the fit is great and I have a clear view from it. Had a recent accident wearing this helmet and it fully protected my head. I will be replacing it with a new one.

I've been wearing a Shark helmet for about 3 years, that cost around £150. I've just started doing a daily commute of around 60 miles, mostly on the motorway and wanted to find a quieter helmet with better ventilation. This Shoei NXR2 does exactly that for a few hundred less than many supposed rivals.. You can see and feel the high quality in the padding, which is much more extensive than in cheaper helmets. There's also a removable chin guard to further reduce wind and noise, although it doesn't do a huge amount.
The ventilation is superb. Open the main slider on the top fully and you can feel a breeze over the top of your head, with the warm air leaving via the exhaust vents at the back.
Visor has lots of opening settings and clips securely fully closed.
Also comes with a pro pinlock anti-mist visor insert that works perfectly.
Really comfortable to wear and, with the chin vent closed, a lot quieter than the cheaper helmets I've owned before.

Previous 6 helmets all Arai, got fed up of broken side pods. Bought this Shoei & it really is far superior. Great quality, visor/side pods no issues here. The best thing, its so much quieter than previous helmet's. It meets the latest safety standards, what's not to like, go ahead treat yourself to a Shoei NXR 2

The best helmet I've had so far. Light, quiet and looks great.

After just getting back on a bike for the first time in 12 years, I decided to visit the Preston store to try before I buy.
I'd done a few google searches beforehand and really liked the look of the Shoei NXR2.
I was stuck between the medium and large. Eventually going with the medium after some excellent advice from a staff member in store.
The fitting of the supplied pinlock visor was easy after watching SBS YouTube video.
I used the helmet for the first time yesterday on my CBT. I had the helmet on and off from 9am until 3pm.
A very nice comfortable lightweight helmet which seems to disappear on the bike.
The visor system was easy to use on the fly with summer gloves.
Remember to try before you buy to get that fit right.
It might just save your life...

Very comfortable lid, first shoei I've bought. Took a bit of getting used to how quiet it is. Small made, usually a m/l but had to go to xl in this. Excellent service as usual from sportsbikeshop. First class

Bought to replace my ancient Shoei GT Air. I have tried the NXR 2 in store many times but didn't like the visor release. Finally bit the bullet and bought one...within five minutes, I had worked it out ..it works perfectly. My fifth Shoei...perfect.

Overall a great helmet, light and with reduced noise from previous versions. Cheek pads really cup your jaw. On the flip side, it's horrendous to get your headset fitted. The clips on the cheek pad are really difficult to connect and constantly pop out when getting the helmet on and off which cause the speakers to pop out.

I moved from HJC to Shoei after a long time, previously was using HJC RPHA10 plus and the moved to HJC RPHA 11 pro and now finally migrated myself to Shoei NXR 2, love it so far. little challenges to mount my Cardo Slim, rest I am loving it, and Sportsbikeshop gave it to me in amazing price, love there service. Definitely coming back here to shop more
