Oval head options?

Check out the reviews on webbikeworld, they tell you whether each helmet is an oval or round fit. In my experience, none of the Suomys work, they all have a round fit kinda like an Arai Quantum. And as far as Sharks go, their top of the line is all round-fit unfortuantely. They do make a couple oval helmets, the RSI and the S650, but they are down in the range unfortunately.

You might try an AGV XR2, it's kinda outdated so you can find good deals on them on Ebay, and they are very oval.....the cheekpads are very tight. The Ti-Tech might work as well, although it's not as oval as the XR2.

Forget about Shoei, none of them are really oval......They either don't have enough room in the forehead, or they don't go down far enough to cover the chin (like the RF1000)
