- X-Lite X-551 GT Kalahari N-Com – Metal White / Red / Blue Fibre composite construction Scratch resistant Pinlock visor (insert included) Fog free, scratch resistant inner visor Intake vents at front, top and chin Rear air exhaust vent Removable peak Double D retention system Removable top liner and cheek pads N-Com compatible 3 shell sizes The X-Lite X-551 has become the X-551 GT (Gran Turismo). The use of the latest generation of fabrics in the new Touring Performance inner comfort padding and the redesigned configuration of the cheek pads have significantly improved the comfort and fit of the helmet. The look of the helmet has also been meticulously thought through. Designed for riders of motard and street enduro motorbikes, but also ideal for dirt roads, the X-551 GT is available in three outer shell sizes and can be used in its full configuration or without the peak or the visor. It features a visor that is perfectly integrated with the design of the product, inner VPS (Vision Protection System) sunscreen and an efficient ventilation system. The broad peak, designed for use on dirt roads, ensures adequate protection from the sun’s rays. Finally, the X-551 GT is equipped with a DD-ring retention system and is set up for the N-Com X-Series BX4 Plus communication system. All helmets are supplied with a clear visor as standard

X-Lite X-551 GT Kalahari N-Com – Metal White / Red / Blue Review
The best reviews that we can read are those from actual customers. Whilst the expert or magazine reviews are great, they don’t tend to give you as much information as a whole load of customers that have tried and used the product for a much longer period and in different circumstances. For example if you were looking to buy a waterproof bike jacket, you want to read reviews from customers that have worn it for a year and can give you the honest opinion on how waterproof it is after a year. Likewise you want to know that products like X-Lite X-551 GT Kalahari N-Com – Metal White / Red / Blue live up to the manufacturer and shop descriptions. We scored X-Lite X-551 GT Kalahari N-Com – Metal White / Red / Blue 8.6 out of 10, and customers at SportsBikeShop scored it out of 5, thanks to the not yet rated customer reviews.
There are of course many factors that can affect the review score of a product, which can vary from the perception of the brand or product right through to the actual usability, quality and price. One of our best pieces of advice when you’re shopping for products in the X-Lite X-551 GT category, or any Helmets products for that matter, is to consider reading plenty of the detailed customer reviews before you buy. Often the review score can help you to make a quick judgement as to how good a product is, but to really get to know if it’s right for you, you need to read lots of the reviews to find out what users are saying about it, good and bad.
Price was the other factor that we mentioned, and that has become increasingly important when we are buying products online, regardless if its motorbike kit or a toothbrush, we want to get a good deal. So be sure to shop around but it’s important that you buy from a retailer that you can trust. As a guide you should expect to be paying roughly £419.99 for X-Lite X-551 GT Kalahari N-Com – Metal White / Red / Blue as that is the RRP price. SportsBikeShop sell it at £335.99 at the moment which is great. Anything massively under this should raise alarm bells, especially as SportsBikeShop offer a price match promise.

For example if it’s a helmet you may want a 5 star SHARP rating, if it’s a jacket you may want it to be waterproof and have a removable lining. Use these criteria to help you filter out the products that won’t meet your needs. At that point you can start comparing based on price and reviews.
Another critical part of discovering a new product before you buy it is video.
