Hi, I'm Tony, welcome to Sports Bike Shops video on the top five adventure helmets for 2021. So what is an adventure helmet? In the most basic terms, it's a helmet with a visor and a peak. The idea is that it combines a full-face touring lid and a peaked motor cross helmet to suit bikes that can be ridden both on and off road. Here's our rundown of the top five on the market based on a combination of customer reviews and what we found out when we reviewed these helmets for ourselves on the road. ARIZE TORCROS4 Adventure helmet has been around the ages and it's also been picking up rave reviews for just as long. Of the 188 customers who've left the review for their TORCROS4, 173 of them gave it the maximum five stars. That's 92% of the reviewers and that is seriously impressive believe me. The lid shell is made from ARIZE Super Laminate Fiber and the whole helmet weighs 1683 grams in a size medium. It's on the heavy side but the strong shell allows ARIZE to use a softer impact liner which they say is the best way to protect your head. The venting system is good, the comfort liner is typically plush for ARIE and the build quality is also right up there with ARIZE normal standards. The only real downside in my opinion to this lid is that it's a bit time consuming and faulty to remove the visor or to take off the peak so you can run the lid in street mode. For the full story on the TORCROS4, check out our in-depth review video all about it. There's a link to that in the description for this video. The LIDS is a very good product. This is where our Top 5 adventure helmets are called Top 6 adventure helmets. I'll explain what I mean. What I've done is I've grouped together two CREOS helmets as they're both really popular with customers and both deserve a spot in the Top 5 without pushing out one of the other lids. The base CREOS combines a composite fiber shell and lightweight peak to come in as the lightest adventure helmet weave way. That's just 1256 grams on our scales for a size medium which is crazy light. The PRO version to have here has a carbon fiber shell and that actually weighs a little bit more than the straight CREOS. This medium in the PRO came in at 1312 grams which is still very light especially for an eventually lid. This PRO costs 160 pounds more than the straight CREOS and it comes with a visor that darkens in sunlight which is absolutely brilliant and it's also got a free or flowing chin vent. It's also got a really quick FIDLOK strap fastener which is much faster than the D-rings on the straight CREOS but I reckon many people will prefer the confidence of the good old D-ring fastener on this one. In terms of customer reviews, 95% of reviewers gave full marks to the straight CREOS and 86% of reviewers gave five stars to the PRO version. We've made dedicated videos on both of these helmets which you can check out by following the links in the description. The Nolan N72X is more than just an adventure helmet while most of the lids we're covering here can be worn with or without the peak and also with or without the visor. This one can also be either an open face helmet or a full face helmet depending on what you need at the time. The chin bar, the tatches from the main lid and I've counted seven different ways you can wear this helmet. You can have an adventure lid, full face touring lid, motocross lid with goggles or there are four different types of open face lid. At 1784 grams it's on the heavy side it's actually the most heavy of all the helmets we've got in this guide but has a plastic shell so it's no surprise really that it weighs a bit more than the others. That doesn't stop it scoring well with customers with 84% of the 30 reviewers giving it a full house of five stars out of five. The internal sun visor is really handy this is one of only two lids in our top five with one of those sun visors and it's a good one too with an anti-fold coating. The N72X is a really good option if you want an adventure lid mostly for touring on the road but with the flexibility to perform quite a few other roles when you need it to. It's also got the lowest price of the five lids we're covering here at the moment it's 250 quid for one of these helmets in plain colours and a bit more if you want a graphic. Go to the description for this video for a link to our video all about this helmet. 4th on our list is Nexus popular adventure helmet it's another versatile lid that comes with all sorts of extra bits and bobs like mounting for action cameras and different side plates to make it work better when you're wearing goggles or when you're running it in street mode by taking off the peak. It has composite fiber shell but it still ends up weighing 1773 grams that's for a size medium as weighed on our scales and that makes it the second heaviest of the five helmets in our top five behind the Nolan. Like that Nolan this helmet also has an internal sun visor which is handy unlike the Nolan it doesn't have an anti-missed coating which is less handy. Still the X-Wed 2 gets a good reception from customer reviewers with 81% of the 53 reviewers giving this helmet a maximum of five stars out of five. The venting on this lid is one of its real strong points and I'd say it's definitely worth a look for riders who will spend most of their time on the road rather than on dirt. To see our video all about the next X-Wed 2 check out the link in the description below. 5th on our list is Shoei's classy Hornet ADV which is a really good all-rounder that suits both touring and off-roading really well. The composite fiber shell makes it one of the lighter helmets in our top five. This size medium tipped our scales at 1,560 grams so only the crazy light Creos helmets are lighter from those in our top five. This one doesn't have the facility to run without the peak though you can obviously whip the visor off on where goggles instead to go into motor cross mode. The Hornet has typical Shoei class and it does well in customer reviews. There are 45 reviews for this lid as we record this and 82% of those reviewers gave the lid full marks. To see our video all about the Hornet ADV check out the link in the description below. So those are our picks for adventure helmets in 2021. I've been able to review all of the helmets we've mentioned in this video and they all have something to offer. If I was looking for something to use off-road a lot then the Climed Creos Pro would be my first choice because it's so light and airy. Not far behind that is the straight Creos because you save 160 quid. For road riding it's really hard to look past the ARI Tour Cross 4 because it's difficult to argue with something that's picked up 173 five-star customer reviews. If you want more information on any of these helmets we've made in-depth video reviews about all of them and you can find links to each of them in the description for this video below. I hope that helps you choose the right adventure helmet for you but if you have anything you'd like to ask or to add then please pop a comment below. Thanks for watching. You
