Strengths: Fit. Looks. My egg doesn't get scrambled.
Weaknesses: When I hit a tree with my stupid wide bars the visor falls offBottom Line: Very nice helmet. The padding on this thing is like a sweat resevoir, if you take a break on the trail; take it off and squeeze out the sweat. I had a Giro (although 5 years old) before and I was always wiping crap out of my eyes/face.

Strengths: Snug fit. Light. Sleek. Great ventilation. Styling.Weaknesses: None.Bottom Line: I measure at about 58-59 around the head. Went with the S/M and it fits great. I got rid of my other helmets because I will only be wearing the Recon going forward. Great product bottom line!

Strengths: Good looks, strong, well made.Weaknesses: Doesn't fit large heads. I'm a 7 3/4 and the "L/XL" fit like a top hat, so I had to return it for a Specialized Vice - fits much better.Bottom Line: I wish they made a true XL since the L/XL is too small.

Strengths: Unlike other helmets I have used the Recon feels solid and well made with out feeling heavy. Being in Arizona there are rocks everywhere so I was attracted to this helmets extra protection it offers for the back of your head. I have worn it for many hours at a time with no problems or discomfort. I have read that people have had sizing issues but I found it to run accurately, I have a big melon so I got the L/XL and made the simple sizing adjustments with no drama at all. Buy this helmet, you will not be disappointed.Weaknesses: None what so ever.Bottom Line: Buy this helmet, you will not be disappointed. If you are a casual rider or XC racer you will be happy with the value, form and fit of this helmet.

Strengths: Fit, weight, looks, adjustability.Weaknesses: noneBottom Line: After numerous crashes and impacts with my first helmet I decided to shop for a replacement, something nicer.
I wanted to try the Fox Flux when my LBS recommended the Recon from 661.
Big difference in everything going from a cheapy $40 Bell helmet to a $100 helmet, everything works better and fits better.
I have a large noggin so I have issues finding something comfy that doesn't look ridiculous.
I also like the trend of having more back coverage on the helmets like the 661 and the Fox Flux have, better protection and comfort.

Strengths: Nice designed, stylish. Plenty of ventilation. Pads are well laid out. Easy to adjust.Weaknesses: Minor ding... The ear straps take a little work to dial in.
Plan on taking the time to work out the fit before you hit the trails.Bottom Line: Tried the Giro Xen, Fox Flux and the 661. The SixSixOne was the best fitting of the three. It also has a lower, more aero profile than others - not as bulky. This is a great all mountain style helmet that is perfect for country riders as well.
