FFM adv helmet

**dino3310** · 26th February 2009, 21:08

i've got the GREX RD1 and its great at open road speeds peak works really well, can be a bit noisy though, face chin guard is real close to face but for around $180-190 it does it's job real well.

I keep thinking of the Zeus 2100b as the next evolution of the Grex RD1.

Same road helmet with a peak idea but at the next level.

This may seem a stupid question, but:

What is the purpose of a peak??

Sun shade mainly.

Also useful dirt bike style with ducking your head and keeping your visor clean if someone is roosting you.

Ride close behind another adv bike in muddy conditions and you'll soon find out

Also the road it's ideal for shade from sunstrike... although it's the benefit offroad that I find most useful.

Also ducking your head and the branches/gorse you're going through won't scratch your visor...

Anyone have a pic of said FFM helmet? emoto's advert appears to have finished.

Can't find a pic on-line, but March copy of Kiwirider has a photo/details in their product section.

There you go,have a bucket handy.

Ug. The paintjob looks like they are trying to market it to the moto-x crowd.

**Peril** · 27th February 2009, 14:17

Yep,in a solid black or silver it'd be a good looking helmet.I can imagine they will (or should) bring out solid colours eventually.Shame there doesn't seem to a website for ffm helmets to leave feedback about it.

**thommo77** · 27th February 2009, 14:56

Yeah, sort of crazy bringing out an adv helmet that looks like they are trying to market the paint scheme to the crusty demons lol

**NordieBoy** · 27th February 2009, 15:09

Wonder if it's going to be released in solids?
