Haven't seen any TLD D3, Fox Rampage Pro, or Bell Full 9 copycats out there.

 

Just saying :ph34r:  :lol:

That's the one I have. Except not the Pro. 

 

This jobbie

And I must have been smoking something, cos this is the one that I was referring to...

Which is clearly nothing like the abovementioned ones. 

 

Right. More coffee... 

You could have had this abomination in mind...http://www.bikecenter.pl/galerie/r/rudy-project-korassa-kas_14327.jpg

 

 

I think these were made for aliens

Looks like something a triathlete who stumbled onto a DH track would wear..

 

Hahaha.. Imagine aero bars on a DH bike...

When I checked the link earlier that was the pic that was on there. Maybe I also need coffee

Thanks for the heads up man. What a deal. Called them and she sent me pics of the 'defect'

 

Looks like some some slight bubbling on the clear film. My other helmet also has this.

 

No compromise to fit or safety whatsoever. 

 

Just ordered the last 2 they had in stock.

I think my Spez full face cost under a grand.  Definitely well under your target range.  If it's good enough for Duran van Eeden's pip I reckon I'm ok.  Been riding it for little more than a year and still happy.  All the padding comes out to wash and it's nice and light.

Not R1000 any more....

30% and then VAT

Technically if you put the right code on it, it's classified as safety equipment and should be 0% - thus VAT plus 10% only.

 

But I can't see the average customs guy getting that right.... you will need to FIND the code and put it all over the package...

Hi guys. I have never even tried on a full face helmet, but as I am getting more adventurous in my riding, I need to get one. Where is a good place around Joburg to try on a few different makes and models to find a good fit and see the differences between the various options?
