Thanks. If it fits like the IS-Max and CL-Max, then, it would work for me.

Overall it has the quality feel of the Shoei and Schuberth I tried but with an oval head shape.

It should fit the same as the IS and CL. The composite shell will be stronger and lighter and looks very similar to their solid one piece full face helmet. One of the first differences you'll notice is how sturdy and solid it feels for a modular and how smooth the latching mechanism feels. The interior padding feels a bit more plush as well and is the Cool4ever moisture wicking material.

You can't beat a full face for winter riding in the Northeast. I used a Shoei RF-1000 until I bought a Schuberth C3 Pro modular. Yes, it cost a bundle, but how much is your brain worth?
Hopefully I'll be riding here in SW Florida with my HD Half helmet and fishing buff this winter...

I love my Nolans (102 and 104) and I find them to be quieter than HJC and HBC. The main thing is they fit my head. They also have a steel locking mechanism which according to this web site didn't fail when being tested.

You need to try on any helmet to make sure it fits and doesn't have any weird pressure points. This means walk around with it on for at least 20 minutes. Make sure you have your normal glasses and any other under helmet apparel with you and wearing it also.

Take a look at this review with photos. The RPHA Max is a bit narrower. FYI ...

I've had different helmets fit me, when I've read that they have different fits. I've had other helmets not fit, when I've read that they fit the same as a helmet that fits me. I've had similar experiences with hockey helmets. So I'll take all the information I can get, but then I have to try them on.

Really like having a modular over my full face. Easy to get on and off, easy to flip up and talk to a buddy at a light, easy to grab a drink real quick, only drawback is it is a tiny bit louder out on the highway compared to the fullface, but it's all livable.
