Carbon Fibre Helmet

Discussion in 'Clothing, Gadgets & Equipment' started by ymfb, Jun 11, 2015.

  1. What make/model of carbon fibre helmets are people wearing. I have both Shoei and Arai normal lids at present, but it's time to consider a change.
     
  2. My brother has just bought an HJC Carbon, he says it is the most comfortable, lightest helmet he has had.
    They were £400 but are on offer on eBay for £225, seems a bargain.

    I like the look of the x-lite and the new Bell Star as well.
     
  3. The Bell star looks great, after safety weight saving is my next priority as I have a bad neck.
     
  4. AGV PISTA GP - Carbon with Paint

  5. AGV PISTA GP CARBON , plain . The 2015 Gran Premio UK looks pretty trick though..

  6. who stocks the The 2015 Gran Premio UK in the South ? I need to try one on
     
  7. If you struggle to find it, maybe you could try any Pista GP on ( plain carbon or "46") ? They should all come up the same size then buy the Gran Premio through the net.

  8. My son has bought an Xlite full carbon looks fantastic and says it is much quieter than his old Shark, fits really well as well
     
  9. I bought mine from Sportsbikeshop. They are geared for online sales. If you get the wrong size it's free returns and replacement.
    You do really need to try it
    I bought a K5 which fitted me in Medium Large. The helmet was damaged after 3 weeks I have bought a the Pista but needed a large in that
     
  10. The AGV looks lovely but for me the sizing is all over the place.
    I couldn't find a size that was any good, either too small or too big or pushing on the forehead.
     
  11. Bell M5X Carbon - 1954 Gold
    x2

  17. I have an nexx but started having problems with visor clips falling off and the visor hanging off when tanking along - not good! Bought replacement clips and still have the issue so have lashed up with sellotape until I buy another lid. In short I wouldn't go nexx:-(
     
  18. Now confused, nothing really launched my boat. But its confirmed along with my shirt I need XXL :)
     
  19. did you try the xlite
     
  20. yes, i tried the XXL and it its still a maybe as is the non carbon Schuberth SR1.

    glasses is also an issue, i wear them and struggled to get them in.
