I'm B2+L now. Budget for safety gear has to be there.

Last time helmet RM25 to change liner every 6 months.
Now RM500++ every 5 years.

Interesting, probably the liners replacement, not the EPS or crack repair I hope.
Thanks for the mention of Mecinda.

I.M.A.C. injected shell- Impact Modified Alloy Composite

Probably something like LS2 punya KPA - Kinetic Polymer Alloy
Again, a big PROBABLY here.

2 shell sizes (XXS-M, L-XXL)
If you take L, it's likely to look big.

chin bar down, squeeze your cheek? Or, what happens?

Previous generation, but still a highly recommended helmet.

new helmets keep getting better. There's the C70 on discount, too, for about the same price but without pinlock included.

Sharp rating is impact, and it uses the good old PC shell - thick and heavy.
Personally, I would want to up one level to fibreglass shell or something.

It should be ok, with ECE certification. See if there's indication where it's made?

KYT bought Suomy. And even Suomy's website has KYT's catalog which KYT itself doesn't carry.
Europe is the main distribution channel now, so it's no surprise if written in Italy.

From KYT's website, main contact is in Italy, too.
I'm interested to know if the helmet itself is made in Italy. If that is true, then that could be a true Suomy helmet rebranded as KYT.

Yes, SHARP approves ECE method of testing chin bar of flip-up helmets, and adds the Latch % during testing as a guide. SHARP complements ECE, by adding on higher impact velocity than ECE. (https://sharp.dft.gov.uk/sharp-testing/)

Snell is a different story. (Source: https://www.webbikeworld.com/why-most-modul...t-snell-rated/)
So far, just 2 are certified, LS2 FF394 and Zeus 3000. (https://www.smf.org/cert search keyword "modular")

looks like good news for modular helmet testing: ECE 22.06 update

what's your thoughts on SNELL? this is the one that gets refreshed more often, compared to ECE and DOT.

yeah, comfortable helmet (and gear) reduces fatigue, and indirectly reduces the chances of it from happening. SNELL has few modular helmets, but that's not my thing. let's see how ECE22.06 goes, and pray it doesn't raise helmet pricing.

on another note, here's something to kill time with.

heard HJC want to have personal fitting service also

Why ppl choose HJC?

mADmANmodular woh... not aerodynamic leh

Not cheap tho.

I emailed a China helmets manufacturer, and was told that DOT helmets are lesser than ECE. Most distributors or resellers would buy the DOT grade and sell online. Unfortunately, for the same brand, they make helmets for bicycle and mopeds <30cc. Hence, we'd see a range of ECE, DOT, <30cc moped and bicycle helmets. For DOT, I think it allows steng helmet.

MHR has been a Chinese helmet brand, but imported by Malaysian agent. Some of the earlier LS2 models were actually spinned off from existing MHR models not available in Malaysia. That time, flagship LS2 fullface helmets were sold at RM200 each. Initially, their major breakthrough was motocross helmets. Since then, fed up with weird weird name brands and won't buy until I research thoroughly.

Anyhow, many helmets are made in China these days. Few models can be found with SNELL approval. Even Jiekai has ECE approved helmets using ABS material, but those are not sold on Shopee. Only DOT approved Jiekai are, and limited to few models only.

On the bad side, some Shopee helmets are actually certified for mopeds under 30cc, and are not safe for road use.
