Looks like Bell will be rolling out a full face Enduro lid with a removable chin bar.

My professional opinion is that everyone should get one!

I'll tell the wife you've spoken. I will of course need a new bike to match. What is one to do?!

the Met looks nice not cheap tho 200 Euro in Morz. Looks like it might actually work if you crash.

 

Kenny Trail lids going cheap here. 30 Euro. Look Great.

How are things going over here? Everyone still happy with their lids?

I'd love the Super 2R, but I'd also love to be able to afford it. That removable chinpiece is a solid alternative to lugging a full face up the mountain...

the prices are actually ridiculous and just shows how well marketing gets used. I don't see how any helmet should be more than R1500. I am in the design/manufacturing industry, and wonder how the heck these products get sold for this much....maybe a proudly SA helmet will be worth supporting

Which is why the IXS has been so popular...

My 2c; from reading the motor cycling world I would be a little wary of the removable chin piece. It may remove itself when you need it most.

It's meant to be a little extra protection. Not put it in the category of full-face ones.

My head tends to gravitate towards trees, so I'm liking this direction of enduro helmets. Not liking the price of them though.
