Newboy Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 After Saturday's ride and all the comments on the state of my helmet I decided that it is time for a new one. The Bell has definately seen better days. Which helmet would you hubbers recommend? I ride lots and do not mind spending a bit of money on a decent helmet.
Red Zone Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Spez make some nice lids for MTB, check out their website
AndreZA Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 no one should be able to tell you. The one that is best is the one that fits best. Even within a brand the different models fit differently. I settled for a cheaper Bell Dellirium because of the fit, not the look or price tag.
Li Mu Bai Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I enjoy my Bell. Broke a Giro and a Laz, so they did their jobs well too. as parra says, its all in the fit. get something with a 1/3 replacement cost policy though, its easy to fall on a mtb.
Newboy Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 Had a look at the Spez 2D. What do they go for?
AndreZA Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 its easy to fall on a mtb. it's easier to fall off it.
RodTi Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Mini hi-jack here...Due South stores are stocking Fox equipment now - including a rather sweet looking camo-coloured lid for about R900 Souf Efrican Rond. Not sure on the model number - anyone seen one of these/got one of them - any good? Many ta!
DeltaOscar Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 The Fox Flux (?) is a nice helmet, but a bit heavy and without a lot of vents might get a bit hot for long rides.I use one for short trail type rides, and have a Giro Atmos for road and XC. What will you be using it for? If I could only keep one of them - Giro no question.
Roons Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Why bother with the Spez 2D - why not go for the Propero - looks the same - without the price! I want one! Need to find who has stock! P.S. How do you size correctly for a helmet? Hi-JACK!
Fleming Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I recently bought a helmet and had a budget of R1000. I tried on a few Bell's and Giro's and even the Fox one mentioned earlier. Then I was shown a black and grey Merida Locwell helmet and tried that on. Wow! It was so comfortable and has great vents. Best of all it only cost me R450.

linnega Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Get the cheapest, lightest one with the biggest holes.
