Rock Guy Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Any one know where I can find a Bell Super 2 Helmet in the Cape Town - Somerset West - Bellville - Stellenbosch area? I'm keen to get one of these, but I would like to check it out first to feel how it fits.
bigboyroy007 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 I know that MX Alliance stock them, think you have to order though so can't really try it on before hand. https://mxalliance.co.za/product-category/bicycle/helmets-bicycle/

It is the trying on that's the problem. I've been trying a bunch of helmets the last few weeks and I've come to realize that not all helmets are equally comfortable.
bigboyroy007 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Oh ok, I understand wanting to try it on before purchasing, so my best bet would be to find a place that stocks the bell Super 2 helmet, and then if you like the fit etc, order the 2R.
Bizkit031 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Sorry boet but the agents for Bell are so useless they will not bring them into the country even though we all know there is a demand for them.
Daniel J Méssem Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 try a friends one out? would offer, but I'm in JHB

Not so sure I want a product that has no local support. Is it Bell themselves that don't want to sell the more gravity oriented helmets here or is it an Omnico issue? Just curious really.

They don't think it'll sell, so they don't bring it in, and it doesn't sell.

Sad, but thanks for the info. Guess I'll get something else then. On that note, POC have been pretty cool, my LBS hooked me up with a test helmet for the weekend. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. The search goes on though.

Check out 661 Evo,Spez Ambush or even IXS

Daniel J Méssem Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 did find that the 2r has a fair amount of adjustment though, comes with different sizes of cheek pads and extra padding if needed
DirtyDan Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 I'm trying to get hold of this helmet in the country. I see MXAlliance have it on their site but it costs close to 5k. Anyone know where I may be able to get it closer to the 3k mark?

Anyone know where I may be able to get it closer to the 3k mark?you can't... Except on SUPER specials, which were based on the Non-MIPS version and are just sitting on the shelf. Yet to see one of those deals except in the random Small sizes. Mate of mine just bought one when he went over to the states. Got it on an end of stock special for $180 or something while he was over there. If he had shipped it here, it would have cost an extra 30% over and above that (duties) then VAT, then added shipping of approx $30. So total cost would have been $297. Only option is to wait for the USD to come down a bit more.
