CAAD4 Posted December 31, 2015 Share I recently bought a Recon Scout from Diald Bikes on special. It's very light for an AM helmut and gives great coverage at the back of the head. Two of my mates have since bought them too. A great deal, feels a lot lighter than the Flux to me. Chip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardSteele Posted December 31, 2015 Share I prefer the fox Striker over the flux...More vents and slightly lighter than the Flux...it's protected my head on some nasty falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanD Posted December 31, 2015 Share I recently bought the 661 Stryker and its awsome. So light you dont know it on you head, has good coverage and a boa systems which is great for on the fly adjustments. Only downside is that its rather pricey but i think its well worth it.

CAAD4 Posted December 31, 2015 Share That's why the Recon Scout at R999 is a great deal. http://dialdbikes.co.za/661-recon-scout-red-helmet-l-xl.html HowardSteele and AlanD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted January 8, 2016 Share Update. Got myself a Kali Chakra Plus helmet for a bargain....R500 from the Cyclist's Workshop in Northriding...Super Happy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the Pirate Posted January 8, 2016 Share I have been riding a Bell Sweep for many years on cross country rides. Very light and airy. I recently purchased a Fox Flux for trail riding and find it both supremely comfortable and well vented. I love that the vents are big enough to stick my fingers into to scratch the itchy bits from time to time Not the lightest, but great value. 4 stars on Bike Radar.

Headshot Posted January 13, 2016 Share Update. Got myself a Kali Chakra Plus helmet for a bargain....R500 from the Cyclist's Workshop in Northriding...Super Happy!!! Thats in the Etto price range. I am on my second etto after cracking the first one in a shoulder crunching crash - no concussion. Great helmet - comfy light and a good retention system.
