About Infinity Motorcycles:

Infinity Motorcycles was established in 1999 by Rob Puttick and Dave Holloway, both veterans of the UK motorcycle trade. From humble beginnings in a former bank on the North Circular in London, Infinity Motorcycles now has 14 branches, from Glasgow to Southampton, and an online department, employing a total of around 150 people.

Everyone likes a bargain, but we try and make sure we offer a bit more too. Our staff turnover is low and we invest more in staff training than anyone else we know of in the bike trade - we don't think these two facts are mutually exclusive!

I recently bought this helmet from Southampton store to replace my dated but much loved XR-1000. A great fit and very comfortable - just completed a 1000 mile trip through France with this. It wasn't quite as quiet as I had hoped for but certainly not bad. I was suspicious of the internal sun visor as opposed to a tinted visor but have been pleasantly surprised. The air vents work well and there is more space in front of your mouth in this lid than the XR-1000 (no more licking the inside of the mouthpiece!). Looks good too!

Replaced my old Shoei and I'm loving the new padding on this one. Wind noise has been cut down so dramatically and the vents work far better than my old helmets did. The pinlock screen is great too at avoiding the visor fogging up. The pattern on the sides looks really good in the sunlight too.

Really good helmet. Fits excellent noise reduction and the internal sun visor is great. The chin curtain is really good in the cold but I had to take it off as it got hotter but it is easily removable. All in all a great lid that I'm very happy with!

For me the most important part of a helmet is the fit. I have had Schuberth Arai HJC helmets in the past which have all fitted really well. The Shoei GT Air surpasses them in every single way. Not only is the fit perfect but in my opinion the soundproofing is the best I've ever had. The combination of the chin skirt and sleeving around the base of the helmet stops any dust or noise entering the helmet giving that total quietness that I really like in a helmet. The addition of the internal visor is also a plus as it allows for those after work rides that bring you back in the dark and don't require you to carry a clear visor. The helmet feels really light on my head and allows for easy over the shoulder viewing. It also comes with a pin lock which is a must for all year driving this is an awesome helmet.

Fantastic bit of kit. Fits perfectly and feels a lot more premium than my last AGV helmet. Very pleased with it.

I am relatively new to motorcycling and I have used three different helmets previous to owning the GT-Air. Firstly it's really quiet. Ventilation is really good. The visor stays in position wherever you put it and with the thumb tag it's really easy to operate. The internal sun visor works easily. I bought the helmet from infinity at the NEC show 18th November 2017 and since then have ridden in the early morning or late evening in the dark so I've not had a chance to check it in the sunlight but no doubt it will be just right. Got a good deal at the show so recommend looking out for infinity motorcycles at the Excel early next year

I've had my GT Air for about eight months now. Completely happy with this excellent product. Very comfortable and not too heavy. The drop down sun visor is an excellent feature and is very easy to operate via the slide switch with gloved hands. To be honest when the time comes to replace I'll be looking for another one of these.
