DeCleated Posted November 29, 2011 Share Im picking up my first MTB tomorrow morning and I need to get a helmet. Im no pro so I wont be buying a super expensive 103vent helmet...... What I would like to know is which brand is the best for entry level MTBiking? bang for buck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted November 29, 2011 Share Both brands are good. Go with the one you like - look 'n feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hboli4 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Agree with 'Dale, for entry level either one will do the job bang for buck wise. When I started bought an entry level Bell, bought a Giro for my girlfriend, not much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJacques Posted November 29, 2011 Share I like the crash replacement warranty on the Bell. Not sure if Giro has the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Posted November 29, 2011 Share out of those two helmets it the one that fits you best !! they are both great , but not all of us have the same shape pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted November 29, 2011 Share Try them on, then buy the one that feels most comfortable and still look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelsuck Posted November 29, 2011 Share Bell and Giro same company, Bell owns Giro and if I am not mistaken they have the same warrantee policy as do Rudy. Best is to fit them and decide, just one caution I have Bell sweep and if I once more catch those back pointy things in a door, cupboard etc....anycase they are look cool but are flimsy when they catch on things.

Vinnydabutcher Posted November 29, 2011 Share Rudy`s pricing is currently the best. Maybe look at the Zuma - just try and look past the name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted November 29, 2011 Share Oh yes, and KEEP your receipt because you will need that for your replacement discount. If you crash and break a Bell, they give you 70% off a repacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyTrailRider Posted November 29, 2011 Share Yeah, fit is very important. I was set on a Bell Sweep two years ago, was ready to pay, then I just happened to put on a Specialized while waiting. It was instantly comfortable, mind made up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squier Posted November 29, 2011 Share I have a Lazer. Really comfortable and good value. Definitely worth considering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
