Any release date for the new "modular" helmet

[2manycars]

The new BRP helmet (Been on sale as the Givi in Europe), looks interesting. I have tried every helmet made I think (at least modular), and I can not find one that has enough room for the chin, and that does not press into my forehead. The N43 is close but it does leave a mark in the head, and the chin-bar is too tight.

My Shark Evoline is Ok, but weighs a ton. I am anxious to try yet another helmet, but was told it would be June at the earliest from the one dealer who lists it on his or her website.

I have the HJC CL-MAX modular and it fits great. I can even wear my big sun glasses no problem.

I doubt if you'll see it in the States soon. Reading the review on WebBikeWorld, http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcycle-helmet/givi/x-01/
I see it has a rather large top vent section. This meets ECE standards, but this was the same issue that delayed the Nolan N43 Air coming to the states.

Nolan had to redesign the top vent to close up all the space -- DOT wouldn't approve with the large vent holes on top. you could fall and hurt yourself on a sharp stick, I guess.

Anyway, the US version of the N43 doesn't push the air that the EU v3ersion does. I would assume that Givi will also have to redesign their top vents to meet DOT standards.

we use a pair since 8000 mls .. very happy and would buy it once again..
if you could test it side by side with other models ..you will find out
not heavy and really the best side-to-side visibility ..never had any other helmet which had such a large visor..

I've not seen anything about the BRP helmet.

I've been using a Schuberth modular for a couple of years and am very happy with it. They're hard to find, though.
