Had a crafar quantum for years great helmet. Then got a astro r and I keep breaking side pods, vents and it just doesn't seem to be as good as the quantum. Shop just fitted a side pod for me but it sticks out at the bottom and just looks as if its under stress. I also found the fit to be tighter on my forehead .
My present lid is an Astro R (Reynolds rep) - never had a problem with it. And its really comfortable.
You'll need to practice your dismounts if your gonna replicate Nicky Hayden. Seriously tho.....nice lid!
I think there were nicer looking reps out there (my personal fave is the Crutchlow rep) but having trawled every website and every manufacturer and model, I don't think there is any better value out there than the Arai RX7 GP Hayden from Helmetcity at this moment in time. And for the price the graphics are more than acceptable. Thank god I have a small Napper :wink:
After today I think we should all be ordering one of these... Only one the Race R Pro shell tho.......
Maybe....but not really. :wink: Not bad going for a kid who's had carpal tunnel surgery last week and still has the stitches in his hand. It's such a shame a GP ride looks to have got away......
Well worth watching, Moto3 was entertaining too, shame the main event didn't live up to these! Much respect to Scott, he looked in agony when he got off the bike.
