Lightweight helmet?

[Rupe]

I want to get a new helmet at some point, and going to get a lightweight one as the neck is not to good. Anyone know which ones would be the go, and where to get them from??

ask chris where he got his AIROH helmet from, i think it only weighs 800 grams or something like that.

that sounds pretty good, any idea which model?

The SHARP helmet testing site includes the weight of most of the helmets. Go for a 4 or 5 star helmet if you can.

RJays put out a fairly lightweight helmet. Go to some of the big bike shops and enquire, or look online. they are not too expensive either - and fit real good.
p.s - we picked one up in Australia back in July

The Airoh Stelt Senior is around a 1000g which feels a lot lighter than other helmets.
There is a german site that has some good discounts on helmets and only charges a flat shipping rate of 14 euro or so to NZ. I think even with the cheapest it will be over the $400 GST limit so I think it would work out to early $500s landed including import and duty.

I had a Stelt War that i bought from Triple X when it was going,so they may still stock them at TMG in Takanini or Newmarket

Its not always about the total weight but how the weight is carried and the aerodynamics......

Cant go past SHOEI

agree with Choppa, the new SHoei VFX-w is a very good helmet,

we can get Airoh's, they are awesomely light as well, most bikes shops will be able to get them

I've had an Airoh stelt for nearly a year now.
The BEST helmet ever! Light, comfy and easily washable.
There is a new more ventalated model coming out soon from airoh which I shal purchase as soon as it's availible.
