My lid is up for renewal too so can you guys shed more light on it. Storm - you said "pretty good" at high speed - I do alot of motorway, would this lid want to yank my head back all the time and give me shoulder muscles Arnie would be proud of?

Whatever the performance, it's got to be better than my current leaking, noisy, scratched Shark lid.

Watching this Thread with interest.

Hi Mate,

You can definitly 'feel' the peak, but I think it would only be a real problem on bikes with a much higher top speed than the XT. I could happily sit at 85-90mph for 45mins without a problem. You feel it most when you do a shoulder check at high speed, as the airflow stops passing under the peak, and hits the side of it, but it's still fine. Only a tiny bit worse than my Caberg V2 'normal' lid.
