Can someone recommend a good online place to get a SA2010 helmet?

ssabripo · 01-27-2014, 09:02 AM

Been using my old and trusted/busted SA2000 helmet, but the new Chin regulations require a 2005/2010 or better...

can anyone please recommend me a good online place where I can get a decent SA2010 helmet without breaking the bank?

trying to keep it cheap, so, what about this one? :dunno:

Here's a good helmet for you!

I have one of the G Force from this link , can't remember which model, but was $299 when I bought it.

hjc ar10 is good choice for cheap and can use the hans with it. saferacer or i think soloracer also has helmets.

Simpson has a couple for $300 on their site, fwiw. Although I ended up springing for the Bandit ($400) in black along with a smoked visor. The rationalization was that the smoked visor worked like sunglasses on the track (which they do), but the real reason is because I couldn't resist the Stig look.

I think you really need to try them on. No HJC has felt remotely comfortable on me which doesn't mean its a bad helmet. It all depends on the shape of your dome piece.

I like the Bell and G Force helmets.

I got my black HJC AR-10ii through Amazon. Fits nicely, although it was a bit of a gamble. I tried various other brands in person and still went with the HJC hoping it would work. I did really like Bell also.

I will say I've noticed a bunch of people using the HJC, for whatever that's worth.

i think you have a winecountry Motorsports out your way....i recommend them if you are close...

dmw16 · 01-28-2014, 04:35 PM

If you can actually go somewhere to try them on like wine country then that's what I'd do.

I bought an HJC Si12 site-unseen and I am very happy with it. I bought from Soloracer; there was a coupon code.

JD3 · 01-28-2014, 09:11 PM

You might find something at ironpony.com. its a motorcycle accessories shop but they have lots of helmets. I bought a Bell from them a few years ago at like 60% off.

Slapshot9 · 01-29-2014, 09:34 PM

I like the HJC as well. There used to be a Winecountry motorsports in Jupiter, FL. I think there is one at Sebring too.

aus · 01-29-2014, 09:55 PM

You really need to try them on.
I wanted an HJC and was ready to spend some coin on it, but when I tried them on, it was way too narrow. Bell fit much better for my big brain.

when I got mine TougeFactory.com had the best prices.

You know the e90 benefits from any weight savings possible.

Lighter helmet - dont forget itll be smaller and no longer hitting my sunroof so lower cog too.

Add that to your method of taking big dumps before entering the hot pits its like a race car then weight wise.
