This helmet effectively reduces YOUR center of gravity! You will be less likely to tip over and fall when walking.
Nice helmet btw. I have the non CF version. My only complaint is that it is somewhat hard to get the visor to flip. How much?

Love the helmet, Lucid's comments made me laugh out loud.
I personally prefer open face as I now wear glasses, call it an overactive puberty as a child and old age. |

BTW 1.2mm, that plus the weight reduction should shave a whole 0.002s off your next lap. That alone makes the purchase worth it and the thing looks cool. |

That thing looks sweet. It is a great match for the roof.

My visor still sticks after a season of use. Trying to flip it a specific close to the pivot helps a little. But then it doesn't stay up properly either (I also keep it up while driving). You should have gotten the CF visor IMHO.

Looks real good! I guess I should start looking into investing in a helmet. It is smarter to have one than to not have one. Plus it seems like most of the tracks in the states require one anyway.

The real question is, did you get an extra large vent on the top of your steel helmet? If not, you added all that weight for no reason really.
