Skid lid choices?

[mossy1200]

I havent bought a road helmet for a long time so im out of touch.

Still wearing shoei xr800


Im down to 3 choices

HJC R-PHA10
Shoei X12
Arai Chaser

Let me know if im missing some good options.

Must be gloss black..

Colour and patterns dont interest me.
I have a loud race helmet but it doesnt suit my road gear.

Also im a bit torn on prices as the top line helmets seem so much cheaper to get from overseas. Some are $300 cheaper.
idd rather buy local but theres a huge difference between 900-1100 NZ or import 600-750 for the same item.

GET THE HJC R-PHA10 !!! i just got one and love it, tried on a tone of more expensive lids and kept coming back to the HJC. i didnt even know it existed till guy was like you should try this insteed of the XR1100 as comparison walked out with the HJC, i have it with colors though (Assen), always go local man aswell

Some people say they are made for each market? not sure though. I know that some places require you to have a NZ safety standard.

Buy it local and you can try it on first. A test ride is even better.

I'd buy the Arai,but it's very much a personal choice based on all sorts off stuff specific to the buyer.

Weather you buy local or private import,,,catch 22 you'll never win mate.

The Arai would be my pick from that lot (only one that would fit my head) have you had a gander at the equivalent Shark helmets?

These guys have some. I think the base colour is 100 cheaper so 850. Ill ask him for a price abnd ring my local dealers also. If its only 50 diff ill buy local as they have a 5year warrenty.

My race helmet is Shark RSI. Its nice helmet but the chin area has almost no clearance which makes it hard to feed myself lollies while I ride (thats not illegal yet??). I wear it when im not with the wife and stick my race suit on for a road ride over the hill.

Which shop. Can you ask them for a price for size large 59-60 gloss black if you frequent the shop?
We visit Palmy every month or so.

Why would you go to Palmy to buy an HJC helmet? Darbi's are the wholesalers & they even have a branch in Petone. Your local shop can order them if they don't already have 'em.

Whoes Darbi's?

I take it they supply the shops only or can public buy from them?

They're an importer/wholesaler. Every bike shop in N.Z will deal with 'em.

Two blocks from work. I dint even know they were there.


Thanks for the info.

They should have a large pha10 I can try on for size if they dont have black in stock and those prices are better than importing one.

I normally dont read what you write because I get distracted by your avatar. I think the mods should let you have 2 avatars so the boobs could return also.
