BaltazarMarques Posted November 14, 2017 Share Looks like they re all settling down around the same price with the Catlike one hitting that number. Not sure what the Star wars styled Lazer one is priced at (if you can even get it here). The Giro isn't available here, can you get the Bell locally? I'm not 10% sure if the Bell is available locally but I'm sure I read somewhere that they would be bringing them in as the market for them is there.

Dieter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted November 16, 2017 Share The Rudy Project Protera So I just tried on one of these and it is pretty comfy but it is almost 3k! The straps can come out easily and is a nice low profile but nothing really screams 3k? Either way it makes the shortlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted November 16, 2017 Share Looks very cool, both literally and figuratively! It has a bug net as well! Also on the lighter side of the trail helmet spectrum at around 350 grams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hectic at that price you could buy a Leatt with removable chinbar a friend of mine is selling for under R3300!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good looking helmet tho. Hectic at that price you could buy a Leatt with removable chinbar a friend of mine is selling for under R3300!!! So is your friend going to sell his Leatt for 'under R3k'... good to know for the haggle! Just got an email from CRC saying that there was an issue with my order of the Leatt and that they refunded my cash and could I make the purchase again... only now the helmet is back up to £189 not the 40% off it was the other day when ordered it. Live help's response - 'We don't get told when items are coming off sale'. Meh. Search is back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizkit031 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Specialized Ambush? I have one, very comfortable, well ventilated and good value I believe. Padding does not last and the Velcro tabs lose their stick onto the helmet very quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushdee Posted November 16, 2017 Share A legend and great guy. He seems to go through more toys than I do! Haha. Give that man a Bells . Thanks Hellocolour. Speaking of toys, here's another:Leatt DBX 3.0 Enduro convertible helmet for sale.. https://www.bikehub.co.za/index.php?app=hubmarket&module=core&do=view_item&item_id=279509&new=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oomkool Posted November 17, 2017 Share Had a BELL Super..hot as hell, looked like it was raining onto my face when riding...BUT...it did save my pip when I took a dive head first into the ground. Then got the IXS, comfy but it kept creeping down over my brow when going down anything steep. Now I have the Spez Ambush. Well ventilated, super light and once it's on you forget that there's a helmet on your head. Personally haven't had issues with the velcro or padding coming loose but I Detol mine after rides to kill any bacteria. Reckon it helps prolong the padding. I think the Leatt might be my next buy as well, good price and good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky and the Warden Posted November 17, 2017 Share I have Leatt knee pads already! I got the pads in black so I guess the black Enduro V2 it is The Leatt is my favourite so far but not convinced about the chin bar option as yet.Can't speak for the rest but I'm loving my leatt lid, I have the v2 was riding the green reign at the Enduro got my best result yet with my v2 on! Coincidence maybe but hey I'll take it! My buddy rode with the orange and teal leatt and I think as he described the lid is perfect.... "Put it on and forget it's even there" we rode all day with chinbars on without issue. Definitely inspires confidence which makes up for lack of skill at times..

Dieter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted November 17, 2017 Share So I tried on the Leatt at Dirt merchant yesterday and it feels like they used me for the mould! The Enduro with the chin bar is 3300ish and without it is just under 2k. It matches my knee pads and the safety aspect (Which I never hope to test) makes sense. I think I have found my glass slipper but I don't know whether the chin bar is worth it. I have never done an enduro but I have crashed with my face before. When would I use the chin bar? Only if I go to Hakahana to chicken out on all the big stuff? What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am big believer that a big part how safe a helmet is, is how it fits. No use getting the "best most super safe all safety tech included" helmet if it does not fit properly. Are you planning on doing an enduro race in the near future? Then get the chin bar.Do you ride at Haka often? Then get the chin bar. Are you becoming a more skilled rider and will eventually hit the big stuff? Then get the chin bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
