Carbon Lids...

[UpTheIron]

...anyone got one? Thought about one or got any horror stories?

Probably going to buy myself a (non-carbon) Schuberth S1 Pro, but went to the local BMW place this morning and tried on their (Schuberth-made) lids, including the BMW Sport Integral Carbon...which was on offer at sub-£500 (around half price).

The weight (or rather lack of it) is amazing!

Just bought today this


Marushin RS1 Carbon
http://www.marushin-helmets.jp/

I thought my Arai viper and RSX7 was light but at just over 1 Kg its sooo light. 1050grams

looks the mutts, only £199 and from what I have read seems very good BUT has no sharp rating yet. but can't be any worse than 3 stars my £500 Arai got

Did you buy it over here or online? I can't see any UK distributors, that might be the wine's fault though :s
Nice looking helmet

Friend of mine had a Vemar Carbon lid, he loved it it was very light and looked cool but also very expensive, IIRC about £600-£700.

I'm happy with my (3 star ) Arai.....

Was in J&S on Saturday, saw one of those and tried it on, unfortunately its not made for my big heed, so the hunt for my next helmet continues.

I did have to go for a larger size then my Arai to fit my head too

Right then, you bloody lot, stop this.

I could resist the BMW lid when it was ridiculously over-priced, but....
