Took my first ride with my new AC-11. I like! Not as noisy as some have said about it. I can actually wear it without earplugs at speed. It might help that I added the chin curtain which deflects a lot of the slipstream.

Also picking up a barely used AC-10. Just about everyone raves about this one and bitches at AC-11.

I know I'm repeating one of my pet peeves: riding for any length of time at any speed without ear plugs is really bad for your hearing.

Congratulations on the new helmet. Due to a little track "incident" I'm in the market myself : (

Henrik,

I am really big on the earplug deal also. Just tossing a comment out there about the helmet.

Have seen nothing but good about the upper level HJC helmets. I have a CL-14 but is it real noisy. part of that it sized a bit to big.

Henrik... not to be nosy, but was the "incident" a SV moment, or an XB moment? You finally ready to dust that XB off now and let it loose at the track?

it was an SV moment ... I think I described it somewhere, possibly in a protective gear thread awhile back?? Need new gloves, new boots, rear-sets, levers and frame and swingarm sliders as well.

Has anybody seen the new HJC all carbon fiber helmet? Awesome looks, but I'm wondering about noise and airflow.

I've had one on but not riding. They are VERY light.
I think you are referring to the AC12 Carbon right?
It might be my next helmet.

Brad,
Yup, that's the one. I'm debating the HJC AC12 Carbon and the Icon domain. Both are striking in appearance, but since it's my head I'm not about to buy a helmet sight unseen. I can't find anybody who has either helmet in stock.
