TLEJ Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) I've had it forever.. never used it.. It still has the price on it, $100.. and it's a KBC with a Snell/Dot approved sticker on it. Anyways, I'm looking to get a sports bike soon, and I'm wondering if this helmet would be efficient. It doesn't have glass, but I think I'd rather where sun glasses instead during this heat at least.. Any help?

CleanSierra Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 That's an off road/motocross helmet. If you're riding a street bike, I wouldn't trust wrapping my head in a $100 KBC. you can get an affordable Arai or Shoei helmet and it will be built much better and far more comfortable. If you live in a hot/humid state, you want one with a removable and washable liner too. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

teardrop Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 thats a dirt bike helmet not designed to be on road and the snell date inside is only good for 5 or 6 years check out here for some good cheap helmets www.sandhillspowersports.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I HAVE seen guys run off road helmets on the streets though, and since it's Snell and DOT approved, it would be an ok choice. Instead of glasses though, you might wanna look into some goggles. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLEJ Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Ah, that's what I figured. What are some good trusted brands for sports bike helmets?.. I tried checking that site you just linked, but it seems to be down.. And I'm not going to be doing anything crazy on my bike, just using it for a 2 mile ride everyday back and forth. I HAVE seen guys run off road helmets on the streets though, and since it's Snell and DOT approved, it would be an ok choice. Instead of glasses though, you might wanna look into some goggles. I thought it would be ok to because of the DOT/snell approved sticker.. But I know nothing about this field..

TLEJ Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 How can you tell the difference between street and off road helmets? Like what is this.. http://greenville.craigslist.org/mcy/2521102179.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Street helmets have a clear(or yellow or tinted) visor that can be moved up and down over your eyes. A shield that swivels basically. A motocross helmet, like the one you have is open faced so goggles can be strapped on and fit in that open area. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll.

thebiggmann12 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 also look into icon helmets. i have one and it only set me back about 200 bucks and i love it. it makes me want to wear a helmet because its so comfortable even in the nasty heat. check out bikebandit.com they have a large selection of helmets.
