Title: Helmet Recommendation Please ?
Post by: Stace on May 09, 2007, 08:48 AM: Guys,

I need a lid, these any good

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/h254/stace2406/azonic_t-55_blk_ff_06.jpg)

Azonic T-55, they're about Â£60 - Â£70.

Any other recommendations ??

Needs to be pretty plain though, I don't like the shitty graphics on half of them :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: Stace on May 09, 2007, 05:48 PM: But why is it worth the extra.

Is the azonic rubbish? I'll pay the extra if I have to but need extra bits, knee and elbow etc !!

Post by: rom_kid_04 on May 09, 2007, 06:00 PM: basically the azonic is a low range model .. would probablly be ok but the bell is one of the best lids you can get used by many pro vert riders and mx'ers so you know its a good lid

If you're planning on protecting your noggin then a secondhand lid ain't really the way to go. If it's had one good slam (which may not show on the outside), if you whack it again in the same place it'll transmit that shock straight through.

For sure, buy one to restore like a bike but for riding if you're happy to wear a fullface then go for a Moto7 or Arai VX Pro. Spend the money, it's worth it ;)

Thanks for the comments.

I've decided to try the Giro. I looked at the Troopers but just can't stretch to it !! Hopefully the Giro will be OK :daumenhoch:
