【YAMAHA】YX-6 ZENITH GIBSON Helmet Review
Large Evolved!
Previous MODEL YX-3 GIBSON (L Size) Replace from. Head circumference is 60. 0 to 60. 5cm.
In YX - 3 I ordered the same size as L Size because it was Just fit.
As a feature of Large, the shape of Cheek Pad became Large and the feeling of Fit around cheeks increased. I felt the cheek surroundings tight as I felt like the ARAI Tour cross 3. At first I thought that I ordered Size by mistake. Those who are planning to replace YX - 3 should try their clothes at once. Since the feeling of Fit is different at the same Size.
In YX - 3, there was a case where Helmet was displaced by loose Fit feeling + Downs of interior, but in YX - 6 this point seems not to worry. It does not shift even if the head is shaken violently by removing the jaw lace. The stability feeling during driving is also increasing and it is strong against strong winds.
Continued suffering does not feel as tight as initially only on the cheeks. I repeatedly desorbed several times and it got well and it got better. Cheek Pad seems to sell it by Size, so if you still use it for a while and you feel uncomfortable, I will buy it and adjust it. Considering the interior decoration, perhaps it might be just fine.
Weight seems to be increasing slightly. YX - 3 = 1 in the Memory display of the scale. 6 kg, YX - 6 = 1. 7kg.
One of the features of YX-6 "Low center of gravity design" There is, but this can be realized if you hold up HelmetFront and hang around. In YX - 3 we feel the weight on the upper side of Helmet, but in YX - 6 we feel it at the bottom. It may be because of this for the first time I first felt it lightly. This low center of gravity design can be felt more realistically while traveling, and apparently lighter than YX - 3.
Others, although details have changed variously, there is no doubt that the performance has improved.
This would be enough if it is a regular TouringRider.
Anyway, this evolution is amazing.
Thank you, Yamaha! The motorcycle we are riding is Honda ... (lol

Parenthesis is better than the product photo!
This is my second Gibson from Y's Gear, having used the previous model. The height of the chin guard of the previous model was too short, and my chin was exposed when I put it on, but this time there is no such problem and I feel secure. Another point is that it is lightweight compared to other helmets. The price is very reasonable for this performance. View detail
Good for the price
Size may indeed be a little tight on the hoho, but after using it, the Sponge has become just right as it heats up.
The manufacturingmanufacturer is HJC of Korea, but the country of manufacture was Vietnam.
Personally, I don't like to use Korean or CHINA products as much as possible, but I think I can forgive this.
I think the quality is good for the price.
I wish JapanManufacturer would do more in terms of price.

It was surprisingly Tight.
I have been using SHOEI and ARAI Helmet.
I was thinking of buying a size M this time as well, since I felt like I was an Exactly in size 57-58.
I dared to choose L Size because it was out of stock, but it was surprisingly Exactly.
I wear Glasses, so the M size might have been a little tight.
I haven't made any long trips yet, so I don't know how it feels to wear it for long periods of time, but it's not bad.

I think it's in the SEROW.
I bought this for my SEROW because the quality doesn't seem too bad.
The Benchoolation function was fine and there was no distortion of vision.
One complaint is that the bracket is not attached to the end of the helmet, making it difficult to attach to the helmet holder.
As for the size, the cheek part is tight, so I usually buy M, but I decided to buy L. It was just right.
I think the quality is good enough for this price.

It's a great deal at Almighty!
Was the one you received as per Image?
I ordered these after trying them on at my local Motorcycle supply store and they were exactly as Image described.
[How did you feel about the Fit?
The Helmet I usually use is M-L depending on the manufacturer.
The YX-6 was OK in MS size, but since the main purpose was to play in the mountains, I ordered the LS size in consideration of taking it on and off in a sweaty condition, and the fit was good and easy to take on and off.
How was your experience with it?
Good design, Reasonable price and easy to use.
I hesitate to put it on the ground in the mountain if it is a high-end Helmet of A or S company, but in this price range, I can put it on the ground without hesitation (in the sense that I do not care if it gets a little dirty or scratched).
What are the specifications of the product?
The Diffuser also works well, there is a recess for the InnerSpeaker, the interior can be removed and replaced, and the fog shield is an option.
If I had wanted, an Inner Visor like W's would have been perfect.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
if I may say so myself "It's hard to wash because you can't remove the Cover of the Jaw Belt." Is it about the same?
How did it compare to other products?
Don't compare it to the high-end Adventure Helmet from Company A or S. It's Gold for two YX-6s.
As for the Rival in the price range, I think it will be W's Ano product, but I personally think it is second to none except Inner Visor (and it is a bit lighter...)

[Opinions and requests to Manufacturer
There are not many Adventure Helmets in this price range, so I hope it will remain in the lineup for a long time.
