Yeah, never heard of them TBF - looks good, but could fall apart lol

TBF i want a plain white carbon jobby, this shark on looks good but not ideal, as the black bit and the logo is shit.

The most important feature of a helmet is how good the logo looks.

The caberg carbon helmet I looked at weighed about the same as a normal Shoei - and not too far off the cost too I think.

So I stuck with the 'good' brand.

I just bought an HJC FG-15 for £150 at Hein Gericke - you don't need to drop £230 in one jolt to get a nice lid.

I find mine weighs slightly less than most to be fair, I can't wear heavy lids hurt my neck, I prefer the style of the Caberg over the Shoei lid, only downfall of the Caberg is it is a tad pricey


Why not get this https://www.jsaccessories.co.uk/marushin-rs1-carbon-helmet-black-xl.html

£150 weighs nothing and has 5 star safety blah blah

Thats nice, if they did it in white, even black at 150 is tempting.

NO to all patturny lids Smile

Covdude, if your image is that important to you then do something about the bright red and white L plates before worrying about the colour and pattern of the back of your head Laughing .

L plates are the height of cool in the ped boi community.

"Eh brah, wherz yer L plates gone innit? Dey fallen off?"

"I gonnandun da test innit."

"You gonnandun da wot?"

Been crossing my mind to ditch the L plate Smile Very Happy

Wanting a clean light white helmet is hardly the style council standard.

It's not standard, quite uniqish really, it proberly comes with stickers, and defo a luxury lid bag.

I think the carbon is salvaged from the last apollo spaceship, but that would mean sky high mileague. Thumbs Up

That KBC isn't bad, tried one at work but for slightly more you can get the shark speed-r, truly gorgeous and amazing to wear on the bike..
