Lightweight helmet?

[cheese]

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??

Maybe you need to get some physio if your neck is that bad?

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

Got showed one of those the other day, and it's a real nice hjelmet just want to try a couple of others before I buy.

I was told the one I was shown was a Euro spec one thats much lighter than the US spec thats common over here, that sound right?

we get euro spec here,

the US spec are snell approved and are heavier because of the tet snell do, long story but basically US spec shoeis both road and dirt are heavier than the ones we get here

Aroh or Shoi are the lightest and best but if your on a budget i hear the sharks are quite light, but i LOVE my Aroh, even if i had to pay like $800 they are worth every penny.

Probably won't make much difference to you Rupe as you'd be fit,but i had an Airoh Stelt Senior an now have a Shoei VFX-W and can honestly say that the venting is allot better in the Shoei which is good if your a sweater like me,also the chin part of the Airoh is pretty close to your mouth and nose which i found a bit claustrophobic and the goggle space is a bit small as well........can't fault how light it was tho,just the opinion of a bloke that's had both Helmets.

Any idea on the weight of the Euro ones? Can you pm me a price for a black, or white one? Cheers

The Airoh was 1000 grams my Shoei says 1350 grams,that's a large,i'm picking you'd be a medium which is 1250 grams.My mate bought my old Airoh and when you hold them together it you can notice it's slightly lighter but for the reasons i gave earlier i prefer the Shoei

I'm running the Shoei VFX-W.. Is bootyful.

Can't go wrong with an Arai either ; )

I'd never run an Airoh.. Only reason being is Taddy destroyed his face using one. That's put me off enough lol. Prefer a helmet that won't require full face reconstruction haha

These are great helmets and are light. They're new to our country think they are just arriving now.
