R1k - R2k budget puts you in the upper end of the market and should cover most brands too.

Fit them.!

In that price range you can get a very good helmet, best to fit it before buying.

you forgot to say if it's MTB, Road or full face

Get a MET. Saved my brain about 3 weeks back. Have already replaced it with a new one!

Currently using the bulky Fox Flux MTB Helmet. Not a racers helmet, but breathable, comfortable.

 

But I agree, go test a few, see what works. Maybe something cheaper than 1k works best for you.

Thanks for all the replies and advice. Sorry, forgot to mention that its for road helmet!

I guess it all depends on what kind of riding you do and what you feel most comfortable with. You are not gonna ride the Epic with a full face DH helmet (kop dop) now are you?

 

If you are road riding or XC stuff, get a light helmet with good ventilation.

If you are more the trail, aggressive XC type rider, get a trail helmet that extends lower down at the back of the head for more protection (Fox Flux etc.), and if you are more gravity orientated, a full face helmet would do.

 

Comfort, weight, ventilation, and safety should high on your list.

I had a crash last week. Cracked my helmet.

Bell have replaced it under their accident warranty.

I only have to pay a third of the price!

Peace of mind....look at a Bell
