Spending loads on a helmet don't make it any safer! Some £100 helmets are better than the £400 Shoei's etc. Shop araaaand

But anything over about £200 and you're paying for a color scheme or the name. They can't be THAT much lighter, quieter or aerodynamic (On the motorway?? Is it really necessary??) than their slightly cheaper cousins. guy at my work spent £500 on his Shoei, now he prefers his £120 Arai.

For racing, I agree you need to spend. But on British roads you're just wasting money, especially if you stack and you knock ur head. Helmet wasted..

Demonic this is nothing personal, but it just looks like me and Tin place higher values on our head than you Laughing

For the sake of spending £300 on a decent lid, and I feel safe riding my bike I'd rather do that.

I would have to say that £500 is just a tad too much...but I was thinking more like £200 - £350...

I've not seen many helmets I like over £200 to be honest

I bought the Nolan N100 modular thing 1st. Heavy as fook and fit like like a cardboard box. But my bike had just been delivered to work and I needed to ride it home:)

you could spend £20,000 on a lid like Michael Schumacher does... but unfortunately I don't think you get his driving skills included in the box.

Fact it, there are standards. A type A helmet should offer more protection than a type B helmet, but they're still both covering the basics.

I wouldn't buy a type B lid. But I'd be pushed to spend more than £200 on a type A either - I ain't racing so aerodynamics aren't massively important.

I'm looking at a Lazer Revolution or a Roof Diversion, both just under the £200 mark. Can't help but feel the Lazer is more worth the money - there's serious functionality going on there! But as I haven't tried either on yet, I'm not deciding. I might not like either of them Smile

So.... £200 for the lid, £100 towards my other bits. Cash spent Smile

Don't pay £200 for the Lazer if you can help it. I got mine for £120 but he was offering them for £150. Fantastic helmet:)
Try bike shows or really search on the web.

i have been searching the web and £195 was the cheapest I could find.

I'm an instant gratification kinda girl! If I like it I bet I'll just buy it in the shop then see them £40 cheaper somewhere 2 weeks later Smile
