New super llight modular touring helmet

[Rogue Hawk]

This is really impressive. I think they will give Schuberth and Shoei a run for their money. Light weight is important for long rides.

Cool!
But how much are they/ :dontknow:

Beginning of the video he said over $700....

Liked the picture of them: didn't watch the video (yet...)

I think that our Schuberths were in the $680 dollar price range; that's pretty comparable! :thumbup:

I like the Schuberths, but nobody has a size large. This helmet looks good also.

Yes, it's an expensive lid but it's a very advanced carbon fiber. It competes on the high end but I think for what it is its a good value. If I was on a 500 mile trip, I would pay for a lid that is sleek and light to save my neck and back muscles.

Can't wear Schuberth because of the shape of my head. Would love to try one of these!

This is a helmet that I will consider getting for my wife. It will have to be a secret because she would not approve of me spending this much money on another helmet when she already has one.

Doesn’t carbon fiber shatter on heavy impact though?

Klim makes a nice light carbon fiber helmet for less money with a transition shield. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/klim-tk1200-tech-helmet

not a modular fan but it certainly is a good option for the wife

That's a lot of dough for a helmet that's not even Snell rated.

I bought a LS2 module helmet about 4 months ago and love it. It weights in a 3.4 lbs and way cheaper than $700 dollar range. I use to get a headache when wearing G Max module helmet. LS 2 can wear it all day with no ill effects

No modular helmet is Shell approved.

Not sure, but I know fiberglass does.

It's great that it's nice and light but how quiet is it when you're driving 70 miles an hour on an interstate. I've had some nice helmets that were so darn noisy I couldn't stand to ride with them. I think my wife's schuberth boasts the lowest decibels of any helmet and that is a lot more important than a light helmet.

AGV makes great race helmets. I have one and out of all my helmets it's the lightest. But SOME light carbon fiber ones are really lousy at noise reduction.

Actually there have been a couple but they are stupid expensive.

Then the Snell foundation must have changed their rating criteria. It used to be they wouldn't approve any modular design because of the moving chin bar. One of their rating criteria was the fixed chin bar, but they could have updated their rating system to keep up with the times.

I'd much have an ECE rated helmet than a Snell.

There are no Snell rated Modular helmets.....
