I never heard of them, but if it is Snell approved I wouldn't be afraid of it.

Life's to short, wear a helmet.
Dress for the crash, not for the ride.

you get what you pay for as far as street helmets goes. it all just depends on how much you value your head. I wouldnt use anything other than arai, shoei and agv. I have put them to the test when i used to road race and they held up real well during a few high sides. ive seen other brands like kbc and hjc that did not hold up to good after a crash on both the track and streets.

well, i found some shoei ones i love but they carry a $500 dollar price tag. i looked at some others too like hjc, kbc, joe rocket, scorpion, and all them. never looked at agv or arai though. ill take a look at them.

they get a bit pricey with graphics but if you look for the 06 models you should be able to get a good deal on ebay or check out www.helmetshop.com located in daytona

I have never worn one but I have a friend that really has a helmet fetish. This dude buys a new lid every few months ..... He has a few Scorpions and he really likes them. He does his homework when it comes to buying anything(Tires ,Oil etc. ) and he knows his stuff.....so Id say they are good to go.

i ended up finding a smokin deal on a shoei at the honda shop. 200 for a rf-1000. it was like 60% off or something. they quit carrying them so they clearenced them all.

I like mine.  Of course it has never been used.  Oh, it's been worn and riden with.  But never really "used".  But it looks cool.  LOL
