braailegend Posted September 24, 2012 Share Im currently using one of my old pis-pots, but its getting to hot and my Bell XC helmet just keeps on moving around. Think a full face is just a bit much, so I was looking at this shape of helmets, much like the 661 Recon. Are these helmets a gimmick or do they work proper good? Anyone out there use them or use similar helmets? My riding basicly consist of riding flat areas, pushing hills and nailing single tracks/ sweet sections/ Drops. Not full on DH http://dialdbikes.co.za/images/detailed/0/2012_RECON_WIRED.jpg Edited September 24, 2012 by braailegend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikolais Posted September 25, 2012 Share Try a Fox Flux, you wont look back. It is comfy, light, Looks great and has more protection than a normal XC helmet - The rear section extends down to provide more protection for the back of your scone!!

braailegend Posted September 25, 2012 Share Cool, looks like I made the right choice! Need that protection at the back!! My hardest crash was where backwheel nicked on a highspeed bunnyhop, and flipped... scraped the whole back of head away... Woke up in Hospital later that night, missing a day.

braailegend Posted September 28, 2012 Share Got the fox flux today 12:00.. 12:05 I was on the trails to test it. Sweet helmet, didnt move at all and enough holes for some venting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer4Recovery Posted October 3, 2012 Share I know this post is a bit late....but the 661 Recon Stealth lid is awesome! Great comfy fit + super ventilation. Removable padding on inside for washing. I ordered the matte white so it's not that hot either (compared to darker colors). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
