Hey I just got my first bike but have not ridden yet due to havintg no helmet. I already have a piece of my skull missing so snell is a must in my book.
I'm wondering what's a good snell 2005 or newer helmet for less than $75. Iv been searching ebay and seen some good deals but can't find rreviews on some of there brands
If anyone has any of these. Let me know how they are.
Thh m2r zox gmax fulmer exl
Need the best forehead protection possable. As that's where I have bone missing. Thx!

 

Under $75, can't say. What I can say is you get what you pay for with motorcycle helmets. Don't EVER..EVER buy used, I don't care what anyone says(of course this is My Opinion). You never know what the previous owner may have done to it. Spend the extra money and get one that will afford you with the proper protection AND be comfortable. Comfort to me goes hand-in-hand with protection. I have only rocked Arai or Suomy, which are just a bit more expensive, and they are exceptionally comfortable. Hopefully someone will chime in on some of those brands.

 

i go with scorpion. really nice helmets at an affordable price.

 

Yeah id never buy used. I seen on a show called the doctors they cut a new looking used helmet in half and the foam was all crushed leaving no pertection. Thing barly had a scratch on it. I'm not working right now so money is an issue. All of the brands I listed are around 75. And are snell aproved listed on the snell websight.
So far iv heard m2r is ****ty but zox and gmax have quality like an arai or other top branded ones.
Acording to reviews on webbikeworld anyway

 

I'm looking for a exo for cheap to. But do they have noise problems? Iv herad different things

 

i dont think so, but ive always had scorpions for full face. i ride visor up most of the time anyway, i like the wind on my face. if it is louder than the others, its not unbearable.

shop around for them. ive seen some of them on sale and clearance for around the $75 price range.

 

Magazine testers a while back surprised themselves and picked as some of the the safest helmets certain "cheap" ones. Why? Some of the expensive helmets threw your brains around in an accident. The right "cheap" ones collapsed in on themselves, better absorbing any shock, better protecting your head. They especially liked the Z1R brand for that reason.

 

[QUOTE=74demon;1137399] i like the wind on my face.

That the best feeling when wind on face....I wear my glasses though...protection from small debris & bugs

 

I've got the HJC CSR1 for $79....black. Runs a bit small though but that's just my head shape...
