Strengths: Light, good looks, fits pefectly, soft straps, good locking device, easy to fit and adjust, carbon look is just rad
Weaknesses: none so far
Bottom Line:
This helmets fits like a glove. My previous helmet didnt fit well even after adjustments and it moved a lot. The Xenon is a good purchase for its price and quality. I recommend this helmet to any biker looking for a balance with price and quality.
Weaknesses: Expensive, too xc, but compared to my 661 full face comp, this is my mtb reinvention.
Bottom Line:
Great Helmet, light, good protection for xc, many and big ventilation holes. This helment fits me perfect. Compared with other helmets in the same price range, it is the best. But remember here in Ecuador averything is too expensive, so a soso bell helmet cost pretty the same (+/- USD100). The best xc helmet, some extra protection as the giro xen would be perfect for more agresive riders. But for it intended use it is the best.
Similar Products Used: UVEX Hurricane, various older bike-helmets

Strengths: Looks,Ventilation,Lightweight,And their Quick turn Adjustment locks are superb.
Weaknesses: None yet
Bottom Line:
Im particular with a helmet that really fits.Im also a lot on its aesthetic looks as well as the fuction.I would also consider the price.I was contemplating on buying a Rudy Project ayron but our dealer here is less than helpful pertaining stocks and availability.The Xenon's quick turn knob is pure heaven,adjustments can be made in a sec.NO more saggy helmet.The 18 vents really does it's office.You can actually feel the breeze even at low speeds.Its fairly light,255 grams of headgear.In terms of durability, I have to crash test it first.I would recommend you guys to BUY IT! It's good value plus the quality..
