Strengths:
Strong, lightweight, good protection, looks great, well padded.

2008 Specialized Enduro SL Expert, Big Earl Wheels, 2.4 Panaracers, CF Handlebars, Race Face Crankset
Bottom Line:
This helmet does what you want it to. I recently took a spill doing 20 mph off of a 7 foot drop. The helmet saved my head and face, and i could'nt have been happier to have had it on, than the moment i realized i was going down hard. Sure needed a spine protector though!
