Appreciate this data. When I read user reviews, I always find 8 people who say this or that helmet is super quiet, then 2 guys who say it's insanely noisy and they couldn't bear to wear it. I think that the person's riding style and motorcycle must play a part - maybe their specific windscreen sends a blast of air into a spot that in that particular helmet causes noise. Or something like that.
Our pleasure! That's precisely why we test these helmets out in the way that we do. Though noise is always tricky because multiple factors such as wind screens, positioning, and fit can play a role, we always use the same bike and set up to ensure that helmets are fairly compared. Thanks for the comment! What did you think of the helmets we tested out?
Great to see you guys actually measured this. Each seller is saying something different. I am surprised by the HJC. I was planning to get the Schuberth C4 pro this video confirms my choice. Thanks
I saw this review, compared the hjc rpha90 against all helmets on the market for this category and finally bought it. It was £190 on ebay new so it was the best deal and overall it is the best value helmet I have ever owned (daily driver for 8 months now). I have had many and only the shoei gt air II or the neotec II beats it on noise isolation and a snugger fit due to more shell sizes. What those 2 don't beat it at is on: weight, price and sharp rating as those are still arround £300 and the is max 2 (rpha 90 predecessor/sibling) ranked sharp 4 never opening the flip up mechanism throughout all tests: 100% - better than neotec 2(70%) or even the older neotec (93%). It was well worth every penny and I will buy it again and again until something even better comes along. Ride safe.
Thanks for sharing how you found the RPHA 90! HJC always manage to make great helmets for an unbeatable price and value for money, and the helmet also did very well out on our road test. Besides the shell sizes, how have you found the helmet for comfort?
@@Championhelmets found it very comfortable and after all this time still snug on the cheeks although for my rounder headshape the shoeis seem to be a bit better. By the way I am curious to know if you will ever do a review and road test of the unique modular retro the hjc v90 which to me also seems to be the best retro full face for the price out there. Let me know please as I can't wait to buy it for my cafe racer if it turns out to be good. Also no one seems to know if it comes with a chin curtain or not, a very important detail for us winter riders. Cheers
Tried the C3 pro, Shoei, Bell SRT and Caberg Duke 2 (couldn't get hold of a Levo) all in XL. The best fit of all was the Nolan. Always worth trying them on.
I just got a sportmodular and it’s soooo noisy! 😩. My Neotec is much quieter and I know why. I had to buy a XL in the AGV and I’m a large in the Shoei. Although the AGV fits snugly enough there’s too much room on the sides. The C4 was too small even in the XL! Since fit is so different I think noise comparisons like this might be too theoretical. Gotta go with best fit!
Noise is always a tough factor to take into account, since it can be influenced by a range of factors such as riding position, fairings, and fitment. It is for this reason that we always do our best to control as many variables as possible, which allows us to compare our helmets. Nonetheless, as far as safety, it is always best to go with the best fit. Thanks for letting us know how you found the helmet out on the road!
Thanks for sharing your experience! We found the same result in our test, and even when we tested out each brand's full-face sport-touring helmets. Did any of the results form our test surprise you?
The Shark scoring that high surprised me, I love the “party trick” it can do but the quality just isn’t Shoei. Shoei needs to make their own version of the Evo One 2
Thanks! Though it's not on modular helmets specifically, we did include the rankings of the modular helmets that we've tested in our best ventilating helmets of 2020 guide. You can find the guide here: czcams.com/video/_HkgQJvW0nM/video.html What did you think of the results for the helmets we road tested?
While a windshield does play a role, we make sure that we use the same bike to keep our data comparable between the helmets. So, we can better compare the noise and ventilation of various helmets. Thanks for the comment! Did any of the road test results surprise you?
I switched from a Schuberth C3 Pro to a Shoei Neotec II this year and was hoping for an overall improvement in quality and noise reduction. While the Shoei does have a higher quality “feel” to it, it is in fact not... I’ve done a about 5000k with it this year in all kinds of weather conditions and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s overpriced and overrated. It actually leaks rain drops on my face through the top of the visor when driving through rain on the highway (not on b-roads for some reason). And most annoyingly of all, it seem to do a bit worse in terms of noise-it’s just plain loud. I’m now looking into the C4 Pro for next year, but I’m kinda worried I will once again be disappointed in terms of noise. Can anyone tell me whether the 2db difference between the C4 Pro and Neotec II is actually a notable improvement?
Hi Ron, we're sorry to hear you had a tough time with the Neotec 2. When dealing with higher decibel ranges, a small change such as 2dB is very noticeable to the human ear, and a result of 99dB is indeed very impressive since this is already an improvement over a substantial number of full face touring helmets. At the moment, the only modular helmet we've tested that was quieter was the HJC RPHA 90S Carbon, which came in at an equally impressive 97 dB. If you're curious, you can check out our data here: czcams.com/video/_b9BtEGNZxE/video.html Thanks for the question! Besides the noise and weather issues, how have you found the Shoei versus the Schuberth?
Are you able to say if there is an appreciable difference in noise insulation between the C4 Pro and C4 Pro Carbon? I have the carbon version and empirically speaking my experience is that it is not all that quiet. I am wondering if the shell material affects noise insulation (by Schuberth's own admission it already impacts intercom range, although they are not very upfront with that piece of information).
Though we have not road tested the C4 Pro Carbon, we did test the C4 Pro and found it to be among one of our quietest modular with 99 dB. Looking at our results for carbon vs non-carbon helmets, in this case mainly the HJC RPHA 70 and HJC RPHA 70 Carbon, it seems there is a slight difference. Though the carbon was slightly louder, we did not find it pushed the helmet out of its star ranking band in our matrix nor was it drastic enough to change the results on our measurements. So, though the different material was slightly louder, we did not find it made a significant difference in the end. Thanks for the question! Besides noise, how have you found the C4 Pro?
@@Championhelmets thank you for the insight! I have mixed feelings about the C4. The fit and weatherproofing are good. The intercom range is abysmal - the Sena unit should cover 1km, but Schuberth has hidden a miniscule comment in one of its brochures that the Carbon Fibre one has an advertised range of 400m. From experience, I can say that 400m is more like "line of sight". The speakers are also flimsy and the right one keeps losing its sound. So, not happy with the less-than-honest information available from the manufacturer for the premium version of a premium helmet. The placement of the intercom buttons is also ridiculous. BUT the helmet is comfortable. I have had to add some homemade padding to relieve a hard spot on the forehead, and borrowed some Arai padding to make the fit on the ears more snug. All simple fixes, but I should not have to do this to a premium helmet... No more Schuberth for me.
@@redbynight The SC1 Advanced intercom has had its fair share of issues though the effect of the carbon fiber on the system's range is definitely frustrating. If one of the speakers in the helmet is not working properly, it may be that it falls under the helmet's warranty. In this case, if you purchased the helmet from us, then you can outline your issue in an email to info@championhelmets.com and we can then check with Schuberth. We also found the helmet did very well for comfort, and another reason for the fit may be a result of the fact that the Schuberth has a slightly more rounded fit. Though it's true, you wouldn't expect to have to add extra padding to this level of premium helmet. Thanks for letting us know how you found the helmet and system, we appreciate it! If you find you have any further questions, we're always happy to help
Thanks for the question! While this is a broad question and you can get full face helmets that are quieter than some modular helmets, the general expectation is that modular helmets are usually used for longer distances and touring so the hope is that they would be quieter for added comfort. While not all modular helmets are quiet, we've tried to include the quietest in our guide
@@CorgiDaddy In the end, you're right full face helmets are quieter than modular helmets, but it can sometimes be relative since we've found through our road tests that the Schuberth C4 Pro is quieter than the AGV K6 for example. But if you are looking for a quiet helmet, a full face helmet will often be the better choice
@@CorgiDaddy although there is a seam for the chin bar they can have a much tighter fitting neck curtain, thus theoretically sealing out more wind noise
Champion Helmets, I’ve recently decided that I need a quieter helmet, and I’m trying to put these noise levels into context. My current helmet (LS2 Breaker) is simply uncomfortablly loud at highway speeds, but I don’t have any way to measure the dB level, and I don’t really grok how the differences in values translate into what it feels like to listen to it. Is there any way you could repeat this experiment with a few helmets *not* billed as being quiet, to give a ‘standard’ baseline?
Hi Theo, as far as most modular helmets go, on average they are about 102-103 dB. To get a better idea of what a louder modular helmet looks like, you can also check out our main modular helmet guide for 2020 with a similar lineup to our quietest helmet guide(czcams.com/video/iS355u3DkC8/video.html). Towards the end, we included a set of runners up including the Roof BoXXer Carbon, which came out very noisy. Thanks for the question! What are your thoughts on the helmets we tested out?
@@Vessekx Unfortunately, we don't yet have this available yet. However, we are currently working on a similar feature. If you have any further questions, we're always happy to help
Thanks for the comment! We found the most comfortable of these helmets were the Schuberth C4 Pro and the Shoei Neotec 2 since each got 5 stars. In terms of which helmet you may want to go for, it'll depend on what material you prefer since the C4 Pro has a velvety feel while the Neotec 2 has a more standard, smooth feel
To put the noise in perspective, what is the dB of a “standard” full face helmet? What’s the difference between 100 dB and 102 dB in terms of “comfort” or ability to use intercom? Thanks, great videos btw.
That's a great question! Most full-face helmets that we've tested (that are in the same quality range as these modular helmets) come in at about 101-102 decibels. In this high decibel range, you can usually notice the difference of several decibels. Depending on how loud your bike is, how strong the wind noise is, and how long you're riding, this can cause fatigue and would limit the use of an intercom. So, it would generally be best to go for the quieter helmet
@@h3r63rt No problem, and we hope you have a great time with your RPHA 70! If you have any spare time, we'd love to hear your feedback on the helmet as well
The fit is a bit tighter than other HJC helmets. The chin curtain and otherwise snug fit make it warmer than other helmets I’ve had. I live in a cooler climate, so not a problem. It is quiet compared to the 3 previous HJC helmets I’ve owned (CL-17 for example). Light weight compared to what I’ve worn before. Ear pockets/cavities are correct fit for Sena 20s speakers with a bit of space for something larger. Easy to install a Sena 20s Bluetooth communicator. The vents make little difference when opened, but noticeable. I’ve used it for a couple of weeks. Just short rides. But I like it. I’ll be doing a SS1000 with n next couple of weeks. I’ll let you know what it’s like to wear for 1000 miles straight.
I have HJC RPHA 90 and i expect more in terms of noise isolation.

Unfortunately, we don't currently stock Nexx helmets so we can't say when we may be able to lay our hands on it. Nonetheless, we'd expect it to likely offer about the same level of noise isolation as the RPHA, though depending on your bike you may also find otherwise. Though they are much pricier, the Neotec 2 and the C4 Pro would offer the best soundproofing for modular helmets, but the Nexx and HJC aren't too far behind. Thanks for he question!

The sport modular performed well, is lightweight and suits the style of myTriumph Thruxton best....it’s expensive but fits my criteria best...very informative review, I also wondered why it only received 3 stars for visor but my husband has had issues with his AGV pin lock and had to purchased another because it wasn’t sealing against the visor properly. Hope this is not the same problem with the sport modular.

The sport modular performed well, is lightweight and suits the style of myTriumph Thruxton best....it’s expensive but fits my criteria best...very informative review, I also wondered why it only received 3 stars for visor but my husband has had issues with his AGV pin lock and had to purchased another because it wasn’t sealing against the visor properly. Hope this is not the same problem with the sport modular.
now thats alot of electronics on one bike hah
Thanks for the comment! We like to make sure that our road tests are based in facts rather than opinion and the instruments can sometimes give some surprising results. What did you think of the helmets we tested?
@@Championhelmets I liked the tests and the helmets. Though these helmets seem a bit out there, price wise. Should probably see if you have a best budget helmet
Thanks! As it just so happens, we do already have a collection of the best helmets under $500, which you can find here: czcams.com/video/dQcjBj8ib1g/video.html. Though if you're looking for a budget modular helmet, there's also the HJC i-90 (czcams.com/video/INdgvwKTe9k/video.html)
