Carbon Fiber Helmet

[sccrvettel82]

I need some help. Currently I am using a HJC AC-11 helmet and it is too heavy. After 200 miles of riding and some bumps my shoulders and neck really start to bother me. Does anyone know if anyone makes a lightweight Carbon Fiber helmet or any other helmet that is really light and still safe enough to be used as a brain bucket.

A helmet that is too big will wear you out too..make sure its nice and snug.
Take a look @ a quality helmet from Arai or Shoei.

Welcome tot the board. I went from an AC-11 to an ICON Mainframe. Seems lighter, but I think that is due to a better fit. You may want to check it out.

Ive seen a full CF lid advertised in most cycle mags. Not sure of the brand but it will set you back about $850 to $900.........

Welcome to the board. I have a HJC also and seem to really like it. Pretty light and it doesn't really bother me to wear it all the time.

Nice, but $800!

The Axo is $150...

 

[nitrousjunkie]

$ 150 my arse, at that price I'll take 10!!!!!!!!!!

I have 2 of these Axo's, dont think you'll find one for $150, maybe a xxxl and the last one somewhere!

You're correct, I double-checked that price and it was 150 UK pounds, not dollars. That would put it around $300 US.

Sorry about that.

That lid looks great. Right now I was looking at the Shoei X-Eleven or RF-1000. My dealer can get me the X-Eleven for $501 and the RF-1000 for $430.

If I get solid colors the X-Eleven will drop to $430 and the RF-1000 would drop down to $320. I really like the look of the carbon fiber AXO, but I will have to try to find a dealer around hear that carries it so I can try it on. Thanks for all of the help so far guys.
