The plain black Specter would be $325. The shields dont come out till April/May but they retail for $199.

 

I might want the dragon one. I am not sure yet. But we shall see. I not sure I would want the electric shield with that one I might want the red one but the blue tooth I like the idea of.

 

very nice helmet, N how can one get a helmet wit bluetooth? The website says, under the "[align=center][/align] Akuma Introduces Fully Integrated Bluetooth" press release "This option will be available on all R series Akuma helmets. For 2008, it will only be available to Distributors/Retailers placing orders at this Trade Show." I'd buy one


and sorry, wats ECE stand for[sm=smiley24.gif]

Edit/Add: just to clarify, if someone wanted to, could they order the helmet now, and buy TOD (released April/May) later, buy bluetooth (around July), and add those to the helmet?

 

The bluetooth geat is assembled in the helmet when its built, and the Akuma folks say that the helmets wont be upgradable (at least to statrt with). They are still telling me May is when I might see them, and initially that will only be in the Apache R3 model.

ECE is the European equivalent of the Snell rating, but is actually a much higher spec. This is the spec that Moto GP and WSBK require their riders to have.

 

so no helmets until May... or later if u want a different model with Bluetooth n TOD

 

No, I have helmets now, the bluetooth model Apache comes in May. So do the tint on demand visors,

 

thats awesome. lets hope that they do come out for other helmets.

 

They will, I got to talk to them at the Indy show. For some reason they are having trouble getting the helmets through customs, but i just got the Stealth i ordered for me, and I love it. Quiet, light, looks good. My only issue is on my R6 at 140+ i find myself kissing the chin bar.

 

what would it cost through you to get the USAF one???

 

Side Note: someone mentioned the Snell M2005- Just a point, Snell has finally agreed with the article in Motorcyclist that their standards are wrong. They recently updated the standard. 2005 is no longer valid for new helmet designs. I have yet to see a helmet with the new specifications though.

I'm outta here B4 someone calls mea thread jacker.

peace.
