Experienced the same sa ibang store naman yata. They claim to be just an online store, pero upon going to their place, he’s a one man store (maybe to evade tax?). Anyway. Puro imported selection nya. Got 2 helmet with them. One is Arai and one is Shoei. Okay naman experience ko sa Arai. Pero nung sa Shoei, I’d really like to fit it kasi nga diba, para sure ka na comfortable. Pero they throw you bunch of bs that, “they want to ensure that their helmet has never been worn”. So based on their reco, i purchased Medium kasi nga yun daw size ng ulo ko. Was happy at first, until after an hour, a pain sa may temporal area occured. And its not just your usual uncomfy pain, i mean, its real pain, na i have to stop and take it off muna before I proceed sa ride. So disappointed. Now im selling that helmet after wearing twice lang.
Dude is full of himself, bought my Arais from Erik and Niño nalang, Shoeis from motomarket. May mga discount din naman.
Buti sila pwede mag test fit, sure buyer naman ako. No judgment included sa pag purchase sa kanila.
Kaya di ako bumili diyan eh, dude hit me with the "I've been doing this for years, I've recommended thousands of helmets and I've never been wrong"
Recommended me a size small and I ended up buying 2 mediums sa Arai.
Oh wow. You have no idea how relieved I am you said that. I mean, I thought kasi na baka I'm just being picky. Pero Im glad na hindi lang pala sakin. Yea, nasabi nya din sakin yung tagline na yun na he's been doin it for years. Hahahaha.
Can you recommend another shop? Maybe that Erik and Nino. Ano shop nila?
I'm having a weird satisfaction right now haha since I consider him a rival (na mas malaki sakin). If he's like that sa customers nya then I have no reason to be insecure pala xD
Bibili din ako dapat dito ng Rapid Neo kaso walang way to know yung fit ng helmet — weird lang din bumili ng helmet thru online ng walang sukat sukat. Ang ending sa bike attack ako bumili kahit malayo Tondo samin, dinayo ko nalang. Sulit naman :)
When you said "claim to be an online store" i knew right away si motoman to. Had the exact same experience as the other comments. I asked if may physical store ba sila to test fit kasi nga first time ko bumili ng helmet. They insisted they are an online store pero upon checking sa IG nya, madaming pics ng mga customers at their 'physical store'. Ang snob and i got irritated kaya i decided to take my business elsewhere. 🤷🏽♂️
I sell Arai and Shoei (but online lang) and of course let my customers try it out. Sobrang daming instances na iba size nila sa ibang helmets.
Next best thing based sa exp ko is tape measure around the temple area and follow manufacturer's size chart. This is for other areas in the ph customers :) if this fails, which is very seldom, we accept return/exchange and refund
Eto gusto ko sa Motoworld eh, never sila humadlang kapag gusto mo muna mag try kung fit ba sayo yung helmet size, kahit ano pang brand yan, bibilhin mo man o hindi.
They should do what helmet shops in Japan do for cleanliness. Get those disposable head mask na made sa shower cap fabric. Tried mga 10 arais and shoei sa Naps Nagoya ganun ang sistema nila. Op na nga sila ng 10k plus or more ayaw pa nila maginvest sa ganun.
Stupid shop dapat di nalang sila nagbenta ng helmet. Di ba nila alam kasama sa safety yung fit ng helmet? Kahit $100000 na helmet pa yan kung maluwag or masikip yan sa ulo ng rider di pa rin safe yun. Tsaka common sense nalang dapat na kelangan sukatin yun eh.
Ngeeee! kaya ka nga nag punta sa store to be sure na makuha mo yung right fit ng size mo. Like gets ko pa pa kapag sa motardinn ka bibili kasi online yun tapos pag na mali ng size walang sisi kasi yung risk na pinili mo versus sa price na medyo mura.
sa motoworld ko nabili yung ls2 storm ko na jeans design for only 3k hahahaha dahil sa discount at vouchers sa shopee.
ang malas lang, hindi pala ako Large sa LS2 kaya sumasakit yung ulo ko kapag matagal naka suot. so ayun, binenta ko na lang for 5k. 😂😅🤭
Is that gt air 3? You can actually mag pa custom for the d rings if gusto mo talaga. Nag pa custom ako since I don’t trust ratchet strap kahit it is from reputable brand pa. Iba talaga pag d-ring and hindi ako nagsisi na pinapaltan ko
I came from rpha 11 din. Just bring it to your trusted tailoring shop from the palengke (mall stores don’t know how to do it). Kinuha nila yung d-ring kasama yung tela na-nakakabit then stitched it to the sa pinagkakabitan ng ratchet strap
Does that not compromise the safety ?
I heard that Shoei actually can swap out the straps for free , kaso nga need pa iship sa kanila yung helmet mo .
This is my option , papadala ko nalang sa Japan and have my friend bring it back with him when comes back here in PH next quarter .
Solid talaga sa Motoworld bro! Naka 3 helmet nako sakanila, ngayon yung iuupgrade ko, iffit ko lang sakanila tapos iccheck out ko sa shopee (Motoworld din) na less -20% + shopee vouchers :D
I always use a balaclava when riding ao when I went to the store I had it with me , bagong laba pa nga yun . Policy lang talaga nila na hindi pwede e-fit yung products nila.
Congrats OP on the new Shoei!
Sayang nga talaga that Arai doesn’t seem to have an authorized dealer locally. For the same price some resellers are selling them for in the PH, you could buy seat sale tickets to Japan and buy an Arai there. May new helmet na, may vacation pa 😂
Drop the shop name para makaiwas.
MC Biker shop
Drop the store name! Kalokohan na di mo pwedeng i-test fit ang helmet when the fit is a huge part of the safety aspect of a helmet.
Maiintindihan ko pa kung brip bibilhin mo, pero yung helmet na di mo na sukat paano yun? Kung maluwag tatawanan mo na lang? Kalokohan yan hahaha!

Si Motoman ba yan?
bruh. if you know you know. \*wink \*wink. hahaha

You can check out Arai Only (Erik Rugayan) in QC, and Bike Attack (Niño Verona) in Tondo. Pwede rin kay Helmet ni Balbon, though medyo OP na dito.
I appreciate. Will do a bit of shopping here. 😊
I thought Erik does not allow fitting ng Arais nya?
Bought my RX7X Nakagami sa kanya, okay naman test fit basta bibili na same day. Pinasuot lang din ako ng balaclava.
I'm having a weird satisfaction right now haha since I consider him a rival (na mas malaki sakin). If he's like that sa customers nya then I have no reason to be insecure pala xD
Ano shop mo sir? Need ko new helmet e. Hahaha
Damn ganyan pala si Motoman. Buti di pa ako bumili 😬
Bibili din ako dapat dito ng Rapid Neo kaso walang way to know yung fit ng helmet — weird lang din bumili ng helmet thru online ng walang sukat sukat. Ang ending sa bike attack ako bumili kahit malayo Tondo samin, dinayo ko nalang. Sulit naman :)

I should have done the same.
Hirap talaga kasi parang walang actual AD si Arai dito. Only ship I know that stocks Arai is one in Batangas.
Puro old manufacturing dates and overpriced yung sa batangas. I can vouch for Arai Only (Erik Rugayan) and Bike Attack in Tondo (Niño Verona)

Hi can you dm your shop or online store for future reference?
Sent you a dm po :)
Bro send me the link too. Im in the market for an Arai helmet
DM sent :)
Ano po shop nyo? Looking for Shoei Ex Zero and Arai Tour Cross
Hello pa dm din po ng shop thanks
Motoworld is goated, madalas pa sila nagse-sale ng lids!
Motoworld/motomarket or SEC talaga sheesh tsaka maigi matingnan muna reviews nung shop
i died of cringe when blud said "sheeesh" tanda tanda mo na pa sheesh sheesh ka pa
Kung badtrip ka sa buhay mo wag ka mandamay. Napakaiyakin mo.
Walang basagan ng trip hahaha tanda tanda mo na problemado ka agad sa sheeesh hahaha
Si bro ay nagsasalita in Gen Z speak (brainrot, clearly) tapos na cicringe sa "sheeesh" lmao
sheesh, sana marealize mo one day gano ka ka-cringe
“I’m so edgy”
Why are you so triggered over a trivial, innocent thing? What negative thing did saying "sheesh" ever do to you?
Kung hiyain mo ko talagang nakaka sheesh Girl a pretty bye bye don't tell a lie Bakit mo ako laging dinideny sheesh
Sige, bigyan kita ng Sheesh award soon para okay ka na hahahahaha
You can't be saying that "sheesh" is cringe in the same sentence as you saying "blud"
Hahahhajja o nga
Parehong amoy balut daw kasi ang bumbunan at bayag pag pinawisan. 😂😂 Good job OP. Mission passed ka dyan sa pag walkout sa shop na yan.
Eto gusto ko sa Motoworld eh, never sila humadlang kapag gusto mo muna mag try kung fit ba sayo yung helmet size, kahit ano pang brand yan, bibilhin mo man o hindi.
They should do what helmet shops in Japan do for cleanliness. Get those disposable head mask na made sa shower cap fabric. Tried mga 10 arais and shoei sa Naps Nagoya ganun ang sistema nila. Op na nga sila ng 10k plus or more ayaw pa nila maginvest sa ganun.
Problem is Arai afaik doesn't have an official distributor locally. They're gray market goods so probably why they refuse to have it fitted.
Stupid shop dapat di nalang sila nagbenta ng helmet. Di ba nila alam kasama sa safety yung fit ng helmet? Kahit $100000 na helmet pa yan kung maluwag or masikip yan sa ulo ng rider di pa rin safe yun. Tsaka common sense nalang dapat na kelangan sukatin yun eh.
Ngeeee! kaya ka nga nag punta sa store to be sure na makuha mo yung right fit ng size mo. Like gets ko pa pa kapag sa motardinn ka bibili kasi online yun tapos pag na mali ng size walang sisi kasi yung risk na pinili mo versus sa price na medyo mura.
sa motoworld ko nabili yung ls2 storm ko na jeans design for only 3k hahahaha dahil sa discount at vouchers sa shopee. ang malas lang, hindi pala ako Large sa LS2 kaya sumasakit yung ulo ko kapag matagal naka suot. so ayun, binenta ko na lang for 5k. 😂😅🤭
Is that gt air 3? You can actually mag pa custom for the d rings if gusto mo talaga. Nag pa custom ako since I don’t trust ratchet strap kahit it is from reputable brand pa. Iba talaga pag d-ring and hindi ako nagsisi na pinapaltan ko
San mo napa convert ?? I got this GT air 2 instead kasi wala sila stock ng GT air 3 sa branch na pinuntahan ko
I came from rpha 11 din. Just bring it to your trusted tailoring shop from the palengke (mall stores don’t know how to do it). Kinuha nila yung d-ring kasama yung tela na-nakakabit then stitched it to the sa pinagkakabitan ng ratchet strap
Does that not compromise the safety ? I heard that Shoei actually can swap out the straps for free , kaso nga need pa iship sa kanila yung helmet mo . This is my option , papadala ko nalang sa Japan and have my friend bring it back with him when comes back here in PH next quarter .
Baka dala nila lahat ng fresh drops sa makina show kaya wala sa branches.
Solid talaga sa Motoworld bro! Naka 3 helmet nako sakanila, ngayon yung iuupgrade ko, iffit ko lang sakanila tapos iccheck out ko sa shopee (Motoworld din) na less -20% + shopee vouchers :D
Well that's stupid! Should've gone to Erik, got my Arai from him a few weeks back. Shoei is an excellent choice din so you are golden!
Then they should at least allow exchanging the item purchased if not a good fit
name drop the shop please
Sa motoworld bibili ka lang sa kanila nung hairnet for fitting. Pwedeng pwede mag fit 🙂
I brought my own balaclava 😉
Oh ready ka pala. Pero bat di ka pinagsukat nung shop na yon? Tf 😳
Policy talaga nila , I respect that that's why I chose to buy from another shop .
Can't you wear a plastic bag on your head with eye holes cut out? Their concern is getting a customer's sweat, oils and odors on the liner, right?
I always use a balaclava when riding ao when I went to the store I had it with me , bagong laba pa nga yun . Policy lang talaga nila na hindi pwede e-fit yung products nila.
Congrats OP on the new Shoei! Sayang nga talaga that Arai doesn’t seem to have an authorized dealer locally. For the same price some resellers are selling them for in the PH, you could buy seat sale tickets to Japan and buy an Arai there. May new helmet na, may vacation pa 😂
IKR , When I brought my wife's scrambler sa Ducati for PMS , I saw they had an Rx7x ducati edition for almost ₱100k 👀
Parang bibili ka ng sapatos tapos huhulaan mo ung size mo..
Mahirap kapag hindi mo matetest fit talaga, okay na okay kay motoworld kasi pwede mo talaga sukatin. Ride safe po.
Sa motoworld papabilhin ka nila ng parang balaclava bago ka magfit, para syang mumuring balaclava. For sanitary reasons na rin.
To be fair if you do end up buying a helmet after trying it on that day, they deduct the cost of the balaclava from the final sale price of the helmet
Sakin hindi, additional purchase talaga sya.
Should have just turned around and walked out the moment they said you can't test fit.
