if you've not been to pertama, it is susah abit to find the shop.

to save time, find this co-ordinate, and enter the complex here at this point, u will c a staircase, walk up, the shop is at either left or right.

Hello guys, I'm planning to get CB250R around end of year and am looking at HJC helmet. Should I go for IS17/C70/I70 (same shell just old and new version) or save my wallet with CS15?

Hey guys, same question to this one..
I'm gonna go buy my first fullface helmet once my balaclava arrive from shopee.. cuz usually shops need you to wear one before allow testing
Anyway, currently im looking at 2 brands for first fullface helmet

HJC CS15 (RM450++) - seems like more suitable for round head?
KYT TT Course (RM450++) - apparently more spectacles friendly, unsure about the head shape. All they mention is just 'Asian Fit'

Also, I think TT Course uses micrometric buckle/strap, but I see shops sell Double D rings as well? Kinda confused on this
As for HJC I think it is Double D rings but its like a 5-6 year old design already. Not sure how old are the existing stocks in the market. I see some shops are running very low on stocks and only available for the bigger sizes ( L / XL)

how effective are the vents actually? and what's the speed needed for it to be effective?
My Zeus helmet also have vents but i feel like their fake :/

both at a similar price range, but wondering have any of you guys tried these helmets before?
I have a round head shape, even wanna buy specs can be quite a hassle for me due to my wide head
Currently using a Zeus helmet, forgot the model, but its in XL size (used for riding lesson and test - currently riding nearby while familiarizing with my bike - z250)

D ring is most secure n fail proof? design, but mafan abit la, c which one u prefer oni.
hjc normally tight for round, u need to go try.
the vents, just the lobang outside is not enuff,
inside the foam needs to have channels, and exit/ekzos holes at the back, + padding design also counts.
mostly expensive models have these.

only way to know is go and test.

As for DD and micrometric, i'm ok with either. Micrometric is easier with gloves on, but DD feels more secure, as you need to tighten it to fit everytime manually.


I just ordered a Zeus 613 convertible as a spare helmet (when my Rpha 70 is wet or being cleaned) or when I fancy an open face. Paid 280 on shopee after discounts. Should arrive in a few days. Not much expectations for it, but for the price paid, jadilah.


As for ventilation, many factors will affect ventilation. Just make sure there are internal channels in the EPS, otherwise the vents wont have anything to vent. Helmet design, vent location, rider position, if your bike has an windscreen, all effects ventilation.

Actually, coming to helmets, I have a weird issue.

at speeds of 140 and above, I get an itchy nose. I think its the turbulance/vibration that is causing it). Annoying but not much I can do with it.

Wasn't a problem until i removed my wind deflector to get more air to the helmet.


so the solution is 1) ride slower than 140, 2) install back the wind deflector (and deal with heat) 3) change new helmet 4) change new windscreen. 5) change new bike. LOL.

yes. D ring is most secure and safe.

as for fitting, the best is to test it out. No point go online to ask for opinion.
need to wear it and food.

as for vents, just go for branded helmets. functionality is tested in R&D.

If you can wait for HJC trade in campaign.

DD-ring is uber safe, but if you have a lot of stops that need remove helmet, it's painful to use. With gloves and forgot to strap, you'll have to stop and do it. Micro-ratchet is fine.

For ventilation, the inlet outlet usually works to pull air passing above the liner, but the liner itself is prohibiting ventilation. In some cases, holes from the vent, through the shell, and liner, do not align properly. Inspect your helmet and see how to improve it.

Possibly the air inlet from the mouth curtain. Can try this:

I like DD too. Oops wait, wrong DD.

Micro-ratchet really convenient. I think if I am just going nearby at low speeds.. will make do with that.

If DD, usually comes with hardened steel loops that doesn't rust, occasionally with a pull tab for easier release.
For micro-ratchet, quality varies a lot. So, inspect with care. Some brands are famous for rusting. My AGV (Made in China) so far ok.

what kind of balaclava you got? mine covers the nose but hate it, so usually pull down to just cover my mouth.

I wear glasses n I just use a buff instead of a balaclava...i tend to lick my lips alot so balaclava x best coz itll get wet hahahah

DD ring may be the safest out there but that doesnt make the micrometric strap unsafe...its still a pretty good system...alot of ppl tend to treat non DD like its a disease simply coz DD is rated as safest. If micrometric unsafe doubt itll pass ece testing.

Anyway..there is a way to convert DD to clip style easily...

Claims to surpass snell standards...i ordered one from ebay couple of years back but i cancelled it coz accidentally ordered wrong color n never got around to re ordering...now got this on shoppee i think im gonna reorder after i get my helmet liner reupholstered.
