VIDEO: AIMExpo Product Spotlight—Five New Helmets Check out these five significant new lids from AGV, Bell, Schuberth, Shoei, and 6D.
One of the most enjoyable parts of attending AIMExpo is wandering around the large Orange County Convention Center in Orlando and soaking up all the bikes, parts, and accessories at a pace in which you’re able to absorb information. In doing so this year, we came across what seemed like a disproportionate number of helmets being revealed, so we decided to highlight five of these new lids and learn more about each by talking to the respective company reps on video. We think you’ll find these videos useful and informative, especially if you’re in the market for a new motorcycle helmet.
