Anyone got an S500 Air helmet?

I need a new helmet asap, on a bit of a budget.. The only riding I do is stunt riding so I rarely go over 50 mph and don't really have too much to hit my head on other than the floor so can't really justify an expensive Arai Laughing

The Shark looks pretty nice, I'm thinking of the Air Muggeridge model like this:

does anyone have this model or the S500 Air and can tel me what its like??

Also if anyone has the above model any chance of posting some better quality pics from various sides?? cant find any pics on the net and want to see it properly before buying.

Got one in a cupboard at home but its not in that paint scheme. Working night shift at the mo but can get pics taken tomorrow if no one else can help.

Bought it in the recent half price promo for my flatmate to use but he has bottled out of going pillion. Rolling Eyes

I highly recommend this lid sparks, this lid kept my pretty girlfriend's face in tact while mine got mashed from my big accident last year.

I have the S600 air in plain silver. it's just a spare for a piliion now as its a bit over size.

will be good for what you are intending. crap at high speeds, too noisy. tho that could be because it is oversize.

i paid £20 for mine as my mate was managing the shop.

you should find one for £50 if you look about enough.

Nothing wrong with Shark lids at all mate, in fact, i highly reccomend them.

They are the only manufacturer bar Arai to give a full 5 year warrantly with their lids.

Excellent quality, excellent ventilation and excellent visors. Those visors are 3mil thick, strong enough to be bent flat without breaking or straining.

This to the car

And prompty flew 20 odd foot and landed on my face.
No head injury bar a bust lip from my wonky teeth.

...bought a rsf2 just recently from motorcycle world in Birmingham, have to say that of all i tried this was the most comfy and on offer at Half price, i think it cost £90, which is very very cheap for a wicked helmet. They could have had other models and do mail order, check them out

cheers

ps. The visor removal system is brill, its a single button affair which takes about two seconds to pop off each side. Its almost as good as my Shoei Raid II. Mr. Green

The shape/style looks really nice and the spec seems brilliant, like the visor change too ! the ones on my FM and OGK are feckin shite!

Think I'll be paying a visit to J&S this week Wink

£120 seems a good price for an 06 helmet that seems highly rated, so I'll prob just go with that Cool

well, as long as it fits well anyway that's the important thing.
