Also the chrome visor was a bit flashy for my taste so I painted it black. | | Similar Products Used: | Pryme AL. | | Bike Setup: | Demo 9 | | Bottom Line: | Good helmet. Nice and cool. Very comfortable and stays in place well when bumping all over the place. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$130.00 | | Purchased At: | Can't Say | | Strengths: | This is for the Carbon Model! It just plain rocks! Super super light, comfortable, lots of vents, seatbelt-style buckle is the best. Graphics are cool too. | | Weaknesses: | None that I can find. | | Similar Products Used: | Bell Belistic, Giro Mad Max II, Pryme | | Bike Setup: | IH SGS Team | | Bottom Line: | Best helmet for the money. I have tried on many and owned several and this is by far the best one yet. At under $140 for the Carbon you can't go wrong. Put it this way since my DH team saw this on me, everyone wants one. Again, I promise you can't even tell its on your head. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
