Guest Omega Man Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Dragons Sports are the Mavic agets. They'll know if they brought in any of those and which dealer they went to. As for the dealers themselves... here's a listI've only seen one here and the guy bought it in that F place.

Sidewinder. Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 What do you guys think of the Bell Stoker @ R 1100 http://www.bellhelme...ets/dirt/stoker Looks cool(ventilated), nice fit-Nofearnofun killed his on its first ride last week.
patches Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Is it me or does the IXS trail lid look exactly the same as that cheapie guys have been buying? This guy. One may find it uses the same mould from the same factory )probably in China). Just look at DH lids... http://www.bikesheduk.com/image/data/SixSixOne/661_comp_black_helmet.jpg http://www.sicklines.com/news-images/rudy_project_koyna_helmet5s.jpg http://www.thedogswheels.co.uk/images/categories/Helmets/Uvex-Full-Face-MTB-Helmet.jpghttp://reviews.mtbr.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Demont-Dirt.jpg 4 different brands... essentialy the same shell.

I would not be surprised if some other brands shared the same mould design as the IXS trail lid. Edited January 21, 2014 by patches Sanderis 1

The IXS is retailing for close to 2k isn't it? And that other one is pretty darn cheap. The DH lids you showed all retail at close to the same pricepoint. Edited January 21, 2014 by Omega Man

Yeah, as someone pointed out to me earlier in the thread, that IXS full face is the same mould as the Kenny. I think the linings may differ, though.

The IXS is retailing for close to 2k isn't it? And that other one is pretty darn cheap. The DH lids you showed all retail at close to the same pricepoint. Not always. As far as I can remember the Rudi Project is more than double the price of the 661 Comp Shifted. The Uvex is also ablut double the price of the 661. And the FLY (last pic) is about 50% cheaper than the IXS. But as Rata said, the difference may come in with the lining. Edited January 21, 2014 by patches

Nofearnofun Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) What do you guys think of the Bell Stoker @ R 1100 http://www.bellhelme...ets/dirt/stokerLike. I've got the Bell Super and it's pretty heavy and comes with a pre installed central heating system. The Stoker looks to be a better option IMO.Looks cool(ventilated), nice fit-Nofearnofun killed his on its first ride last week. I ended up with both the Super and the Stoker. Holding the two next to each other you can tell the Super costs more and it just looks as if Bell put more effort into the Super. The stoker does have less vents and less padding than the Super. That being said, I did not notice any difference in "coolness" between the Super and the stoker. The Super if more comfy and has more "bells and whistles" than the stoker. Even tho the Super is more comfy, the stoker is still a comfortable lid, easy to get the straps and fit just right. I only had one ride with my Stoker before I cracked my pip on some rubble and even tho the helmet is a write off I can say that it is definately a strong and safe lid as well! If I had head butted the ground with my previous Bell Sequence the lid would not just have a crack,the lid would be in pieces! To sum it all up, if I had to choose between the two lids and pay retail for them (Super R2300,00 vs. Stoker R1100,00) I would go for the Stoker in a heart beat!

Nofearnofun Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 What do you guys think of the Bell Stoker @ R 1100 http://www.bellhelme...ets/dirt/stoker Where can you get them from? I was under the impression I wouldnt be able to get another locally?

ThePubSA Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Is it me or does the IXS trail lid look exactly the same as that cheapie guys have been buying? This guy. My bright orange should be at the P.O.
Mr Mulebar Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Where can you get them from? I was under the impression I wouldnt be able to get another locally? We'll be bringing them in later this year. PM me your details and I'll see what I can do about a replacement. Nofearnofun 1
Sidewinder. Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Is it me or does the IXS trail lid look exactly the same as that cheapie guys have been buying? This guy. Nope, unlike the DH lids, they are different moulds-completely-compare the back of the trail rs and the etto.
RockCoach Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 My bright orange should be at the P.O. I have the matt orange. It's very nice. ThePubSA 1
