HowardSteele Posted February 24, 2016 Share Time to get a new Helmet ...And was very happy with my black and white Fox Striker...not so happy with the new colour options from Fox... Orange.So looking at 661 recon Scout or Stryker...I'm sure i saw something on the forum but search not really giving anything useful .There is a R500 difference at Dialed bikes between the Scout and Stryker is it worth it ?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwhite Posted February 24, 2016 Share The Stryker has a BOA system, making it a much better fit. As for the Recon Scout it has a normal pinch system, similar to the Fox Flux. They both use the same shell design If you are looking for a well budget helmet, then I would recommend the Recon Scout but if you have some cash to spend and want a little bit more comfort I would go for the Recon Stryker. btw, I have a Recon Scout and it is still awesome!

AlanD Posted February 24, 2016 Share I went for the Stryker and its awsome.The boa system is great for adjusting while riding...so easy. Its looks great and is super light. gwhite and HowardSteele 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryS Posted February 24, 2016 Share I bought a Recon Scout from Dial'd Bikes on Monday and it was only R999 then! Went for a ride with it yesterday and it was really comfortable. The only issue would be if you wanted to adjust it while riding. On another note, the service from Dial'd Bikes is really awesome. I ordered the helmet on Monday morning just before 8am and received it at lunch time the same day. HowardSteele and gwhite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Anarchy Posted February 24, 2016 Share Ive been using a recon stealth for about 2 years now... The only probs i have with is that it can get hot in summer as the ventilation isnt the greatest - that and the fact that my wifes R600 scott WATU is lighter. But none the less the fit is awesome and i love the added coverage. I would probably get another 661 lid when it comes time to replace this one. Great value for money HowardSteele 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenReaper Posted September 4, 2016 Share I've got a Bell Stoker that I've been using for about a month now and I'm really impressed with it. My Lbs are Scott dealers and they have some Scott helmets in stock aswell, I was contemplating getting the Scott Vivo helmet wich looked like a good option at R1200,but ended up buying the Stoker for a bargain price of a fella I know.

HowardSteele Posted September 4, 2016 Share After not being able to get a Fox Striker in the colour i preferred ...i settled on a IXSand I've been really happy with my choice...light low profile and comfortable.Try before you buy...these helmet sizes are smaller than average and they are narrower.the only complaint i have is the liitle round Velcro stickies which hold the one piece padding in place come loose (first time i removed the padding to wash it)and i had to replace some of them with new ones.
