Yes, correct. The shops buys direct from Japan. So no SIRIM and other certification.

ha.. good got this topic....so me looking for Jet helmet

must have
- double visor
- removable n washable liner
- micrometric strap
- good ventilation
- no peak (aka the cap thing)
- below RM300.

solid black preferred. other colors can consider

besides givi m30.2 and m30.3. any other alternatives? most of the local & indo brands are using double d ring and prices oso above RM300

EDI: oh ya... good place to test out the givi m30.3 and m30.2 for fitment around subang? wanna test good fit or not.

if no option, and fit is good, might buy the givi during lazada 11/11 sales.

Just telling, I'm using GXT flip up now. I wouldn't really recommend it... Sponge very thin, inner lining keep coming out (I need to stitch it coz it pop up every time I remove helmet), the chin not lock tight enough, the wind noise very strong + whistle sound (60kmh start noisy already), rain leak into inner visor... Overall, it feels very poor built... Anyway, that's just my experience and on flip up model only. Others no opinion.

How many of you change helmets after 5 years from the manufacturing date? My GXT has unknown date, so let's not count that. Neither does my Index. :troll: Feels sayang to throw away a 5 years old but good looking Shoei X12, right?

can you find a real serious warning frm any reputable helmet maker that says that helmet should be changed after 5years.
i mean a real serious warning/disclaimer.

what if rider only wear 2 times a month, compare to rider wears everyday.

their helmet starts deteriorating once placed on the head?
or out frm factory?
what about helmet tht was on display for over a year... ??

all these have not been really studied...?

Seems you've not tried looking.
I think some of these sounds serious enough to absolve the manufacturers of any claims.

QUOTE
Shoei: Helmet Replacement
Ultimately, the useful service life of a safety helmet is dependent on the intensity and frequency of its use. Helmet replacement is recommended even if only one of the under-mentioned points applies:
1. The helmet was subjected to an impact.
2. The comfort padding or the retention system has become loose due to heavy use or display signs of deterioration. Test: with the retention system fastened, the helmet turns to the side when you gently shake your head.
3. The EPS liner has come away from the helmet shell.
4. The EPS liner shows signs of wear and is beginning to break up, or if it has been exposed to heat or a solvent and has melted. There are indentations in the EPS liner and/or white scratches can be seen on surfaces with black paint.
5. Even if none of these is applied, we, SHOEI, recommend replacement in 5 years after it's first purchased at retail.
source: https://www.shoei-helmets.com/helmet-maintenance/

Arai: How do I know when my helmet is past its best?
Arai helmets are handmade to the highest possible standard, and although after many years the outside shell can look as good as new, it’s the EPS polystyrene liner that loses its ability to absorb impact over time.
Arai recommend replacing your helmet 7 years after date of manufacture and 5 years after date of purchase to maintain the maximum levels of protection.
The EPS liner is effectively the shock absorber of your helmet, absorbing the force of an impact onto the shell. This is done by the cells in the poly styrene being expanded (EPS = Expanded Polystyrene) and filled with air to absorb impacts. Over time, even when not in use, these liners lose their air pockets incrementally, after 7 years, dropping the shock absorbing ability of the liner below Arai’s safety standards. This is why we declare the helmet due for replacement so it can properly protect you against impacts.
source: https://support.whyarai.com/support/solutio...-past-its-best-

Caberg:
Is the production date visible on the helmet?
Researches have shown no evidence of degradation of the materials (used in the helmets manufacture) due to the mere effect of the times passing by. Nevertheless the exposure to the atmosphere agents (extreme hot and extreme cold), and the contacts with the vapors of the lubricants and gasoline normally used in the motor bikers environment may influence the molecular links of the materials used. Moreover, because of its own nature, the helmet often undergo to shocks of different amplitude that could limit its performances. For all these reasons and for the abuse to the comfort padding and for the technical evolution that make more modern and protective lids available, it is suggested to replace the helmet after 5 years of use. In case of intensive use this delay should be shortened accordingly. If a helmet supports a severe blow, even if there is no evidence of damage, it should be replaced.

thank you very much :thumbsup:

yes i did not look (yet) tongue.gif

i have seen (shoei) dealers mention about it in fb.
i dont really trust the manufacturers, they sound like wana sell more helmets.

they did not put these warning out on their webpage for visitors to see it easily, instead hid it in faq where most wont bother to check.

arai n caberg sounds abit more honest.

arai- 7 years frm manufacture - so buyer can ask for more discount frm dealer for helmets tht sit for years on display shelf. bcos of price most arai helmet dont sell of fast ...

caberg- no evidence of deterioration.
of course the padding we can see will deteriorate and will hv to change it ...

basiliskyeah, i thought the same, as they wanna sell more helmets, until I looked it up.

Some say materials deteriorate, some say they don't. The question is, a 5 years old helmet new in box, how to calculate for non-Arai helmets. Means will use 5 more years, until 10 years from mfg date then replace liao. EPS are, polystyrene, the thing that supposed not to degrade over many2 years, right? Among other things like glue, duct tape, electrical tape or whatever things they may use.

TanJy1814 I think it means if there's any scratches or abrasion that removed the paint on the outershell of the helmet. I have a black Index helmet, very old, and it has not faded, just lost its gloss. Where is your helmet kept mostly? Got petrol fume or something like that that could cause color fade? How old is your GiVi?

Here's a read I came across: some facts, arguments, and how to sensibly up-cycle our helmets.

Just telling, I'm using GXT flip up now. I wouldn't really recommend it... Sponge very thin, inner lining keep coming out (I need to stitch it coz it pop up every time I remove helmet), the chin not lock tight enough, the wind noise very strong + whistle sound (60kmh start noisy already),  rain leak into inner visor... Overall, it feels very poor built... Anyway, that's just my experience and on flip up model only. Others no opinion.

How much did that helmet costed you?

Time to upgrade, I think an LS2 also should be better than what you describe

not outer shell... the inner EPS liner. EPS itself is white. but they put a black paint over it as a "marker" to be able to identify damages to the liner. example, if the helmet gets an impact powerful enough to dent the EPS, you will see the dent via the white scratches/cracks in the paint.

Yes, now that makes more sense. Thanks.

https://helmets.org/up1505a.htm
Found the link above saying old bicycle helmets were tested and the EPS conformed to original qualifications.

For motorcycle helmets, I think it boils down to luck, again. And the odds stack against us as a helmet ages, just like anything.

All in all, I'll keep using my old helmets lah, but inspect it more frequently. Recently I've been using fabric shampoo/foam to clean my helmet liners. Hope that doesn't degrade the helmet lah.

ur liner removable? if u wanna make sure they are fine and concerned...use johnsons baby shampoo.. baby shampoo is somewhat recommended especially if ur liners are not removable.

for me... all my liners are removable.. and i just shove them in a laundry bag and into the coin laundry washing machine and dryer along with the rest of my laundry... use normal laundry detergent mixed with some dettol and no softener.

been doing it for years... they come out real nice n fluffy n feel really nice once installed back to the helmet

Before this use Index, not removable. Would weigh down and sink the whole thing in a pail overnight with Dettol bleach dynamo concoction and dry it.

Had an LS2 FF, sold it before I need to clean it. That time it's only 200 a piece for top of the line.

Just recently got the GXT open face with removable liners and still new.

Now surveying and noticed some used Shoei for 5~800, year made 2009~2013.
Or considering a new i70 or IS Max2 for 800+.

Bought it for RM168 from Shower around 5 months back... I am looking for upgrade too due to what I have mentioned... To be honest, I don't have much experience with helmets... I might be wrong, but this give me a very cheapo feel personally... Would prefer to save up a bit for more expensive one now... Currently eyeing on Shark Evo One 2... But might need some time to save, meanwhile bear with the cheapo one 1st... sweat.gif

Ya bro, haha... I find it quite hard for me to wear on a fullface, so going for modular... Saw few brands have something familiar, but Shark already have few models, so I reckon they might have more experience and refine their products?

GXT modular looks like an open face helmet with a make shift chin bar. I saved some money and went for the open face. The visor on GXT open face is better than most, and copies the Shoei Jet one IINM.

It's snug on the cheek and forehead and tight on the jaw.
Noisy, but improves with the face shield closed.
Still a lot of wind noise I guess from the low quality liner used.
Tinted visor is good optical quality.
Paid 60 for it, no complain la.

For a next level, I'd definitely say a decent full face. Other than weight, safety rating etc, additional considerations for me, would include availability of Iridium visors, and affordability of fresh liners. Like previously mentioned, these parts can cost a helmet.

I think the chin bar of the One2 is removable?

Mine is spec at 1.7kg, but I never weighted it myself la... Have tried 3hours journey on it, still feeling ok for me... Anyway, I'm a big size guy so might not have too much trouble with weights... Currently wish to get a flip back type la... Flip up catches a lot of wind when opened coz sometimes not using highway would like to use as open face...

Yeah I guess you can look at the LS2, Givi maybe. Caberg also can try search around, gets 5 stars and costs less than 1k, though it is kinda hard to come by.

My CS-15 also 1600 g for biggest shell size...damn. Previously my Scorpion EXO 510 was 1750.

Talking about weight, when I tried some of the helmets on offer at Moto GP, it felt like I wasn't even wearing a helmet. The RPHA 10 at that time only 1360g. There was also the LS2 CT 2 carbon at 1200+ g. Sadly no budget and couldn't find the right fit...

flip to the back helmet only recently have just a few brand producing it, ( refer to my earlier post )

u can easily check them out in klang valley, except roof and airoh.

I only know just now after checking shark msia fb, the model evoline 3 i think is being discontinued in the EU.

local distributor winmaster gave 50% discount for all evoline 3 helmets, price is RM760 only ( offer starts july )

The evoline 3 have 5 stars Sharp rating, vs 4 stars for evo one2.

the helmet is really solid with thick paddings, finishing is really good, but very heavy, XL can be over 1.9kg if not mistaken.

Yea, saw the ads regarding the new pricing. But unfortunately watched the review side by side stated there's so much to love for the one2 compared to evoline 3... I'm not regularly changing helmet, so I think prefer to save for the better one... Anyway, who knows if my hands might itch before I saved enough and end up with evoline 3... Haha... hmm.gif Anyway, I thinks it is really a great bargain after price dropped... thumbup.gif

DEFINITELY! on naked bikes, every little bit makes a difference in one way or another hahahhaha

my flip up is a touring helmet.. less aerodynamic and im assuming its made for bikes with a big windscreen... 140kmh can start to feel the helmet being pushed back and i have to sort of fight with the wind..neck will start to ache after awhile also. 160kmh and itll be even worse.

my other 2 helmets are a sport touring full face and a dual sport helmet (with the peak removed). both are more aerodynamic than the flip up.

my recent ride up north oso i took the dual sport helmet. the sharper front means itll cut through the air better. didnt wanna use the flip up coz i know ill suffer with the neck and wind and weight. went 160kmh n above no issue but had to tuck down abit coz of the wind blast to the rest of the body.

3~4x price difference. The liner material different sky and earth.

A good helmet really reduces the possibility of fatigue.
Good I don't mean super expensive, otherwise bangsa-wan becomes bang-sawan.

Any of you using carbon fibre helmet?
Last time I thought KYT selling the fluocarbon is genuine CF, found out later is painted.

had 2 michel open face for over 20years.
made by solidgold helmets which produce ltd index sgv apollo etc.
ltd index sgv too tight for my head, only michel feels comfy.
tht was in the mid 90s.

early 2010s bought a SOL SO1, frm nks, tht time sol is marketed everywhere, brought in by winmaster (shark dist)
then they stopped dist SOL.

SOL quality, finishing, + features is good at tht time for the price. but d shape is still too oval..

Thanks for sharing. Seasoned rider you are.

Michel I know, and I remember pretty much the same about SGV brands that you mentioned. Had a hand down fullface too, very tight, so I sold it. Seems they still make SO-1. I think that time SOL and ZEUS helmets are the upper class open face helmets. Oval shape means it extends forward for better jaw coverage, right?

I had an Index, then got a Fibreglass JAX open face, a rare find, but was stolen off my bike on a day I had to park outside compound rushing to a class. Index dropped, crashed, changed liner for more times that it deserved, and finally started to crack open at the cheek. Found the GXT earlier this month, and this topic opened.

Belum berani buy Shoei yet. Recently notice got Shoei X13 Carbon Snake selling for RM900... mana tahu I think is MT Helmet clone.
Thinking get a used GT-Air try try premium helmet.

the k5 should be the asian fit version? if so, means your head rs more to round shape, even tho xl can fit, but its not ideal, more to oval shape.

did u check the weight of the xl compare to k5 L ?

How can I be sure that my helmet fits properly?
1. Measure your head size. To do this, pass a tape measure horizontally around your head at a height of about one inch (2.5cm) above your eyebrows. When done properly, you will have measured the largest part of your head.

2. Check your measurement with the helmet sizing chart (can be found under the helmets section, after selecting the model you are interested in), and select the closest size. As the helmet may not always exactly meet your head size, and your head measurement may fall between two sizes, first try on the smaller size.

3. Expand the helmet opening by pulling outwards on each chinstrap, and slide your head into the helmet. Pull the chinstraps only, not the chinstrap covers, as pulling on the covers may rip them. If the helmet is not tight, it is too big for you. If you are unfamiliar with helmets you may be reluctant to pull the helmet down, as it may feel too tight. Even if the helmet is difficult to put on, please use the smallest helmet possible. The helmet should feel snug.

4. Now that the helmet is on:
• Check that the helmet inner lining fits snugly all around your head.
• Check that the top pad presses on the top of your head.
• Check that the cheek pads press up against your cheeks. When you open and close your mouth, you should drag your teeth along the inside of your cheeks.
• Check to make sure that you cannot easily slide your finger into the helmet along the side of your temple.
• Hold the helmet with one hand on each side. Without moving your head, try to move the helmet up and down, and side to side. You should feel the skin of your head and face being pulled as you try to move the helmet. If you can move the helmet around easily, it is too big. Try a smaller size. Please note that during this check, the chinstraps should be properly fastened.

actually within ur budget can get the Lazer MH5 flip up as well...looks to be quite decent and weight wise oso not bad for a flip up at 1550g for large.

You wear full face or other safety gears the main reason is not about what you ride or what other ppl think.

It's for your own safety.

When you really need it one day but you didn't put it on....rugi most is your self. Not those ppl who laughed at you.

the k5 should be the asian fit version? if so, means your head rs more to round shape, even tho xl can fit, but its not ideal, more to oval shape.

did u check the weight of the xl compare to k5 L ?

Yes k5s is asian fit, caberg xl is about same weight with k5s L, guess k5s then.. but I'll go find some other brands like hjc, ls2, shark, scorpion, bell test test first

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

Probably something like LS2 punya KPA - Kinetic Polymer Alloy
Again, a big PROBABLY here.
https://www.ls2helmets.com.au/pages/what-is-kpa
QUOTE
CODE
LS2 Helmets created their proprietary helmet shell material Kinetic Polymer Alloy, (KPA). It uses nanotechnology to stretch and shrink aramid fibers down to where cross-sections are about 1 BILLIONTH of an inch thick and then encases them in a high-end polymer. You essentially end up with an aramid fiber shell encased in polymer. This video explains how KPA might be the best material ever developed for building a helmet shell. KPA tests as well or better than the best of the best traditional composites. It's lightweight, has some designed-in flexibility for energy management, and has a penetration resistance that meets or exceeds the best known composites in the world.

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

the temple area. i think the shape is more oval whereas my head is more typical asian round.

i know that many people choose larger sized helmet instead of getting the shape right, this is why we have so many people buying XL or XXL helmets here in malaysia, many are not bothered about fit.
I am generally an M and brands with asian fit tends to fit perfectly, i will have to go up to L or even XL if i were to force myself into the wrong shape helmet.

i mean my head probably isn't true round, but some of the fit is also down to the lining used. either case, i make sure to test every helmet carefully before i buy. i was just making the point how so many people buy helmet of the wrong size. was shopping for some shoes last week and the owner too commented that it is quite common for people to buy oversized helmet.

i believe so, probably more oval than neutral. If i am not wrong, I tried it once and it was not the right shape for my head.

being tight on the ear is not the best indicator but should be taken into consideration since being comfortable in your helmet is very important. since you are talking about the Bell Qualifier, i am assuming you are using a full face for your LS2 too? everyone's head is different, but i think if you can insert a finger and reach your ears in a FF helmet then it is probably ill fitting (probably too large) for you.

a full face helmet cheek pad should be pressed firmly into your cheek while not giving you pressure points on the top of your head.

if your cheek pad is not pressed firmly against your face, you should try a size smaller (without introducing pressure point at the top ofcoz). a new helmet should be very snug but has no significant pressure points. i typically choose one where i can feel my inner cheek pressed against my gum. the cheek pad will mold to your face after a week or two and the pressure on the cheek will lessen while still giving a tight fit.

BUT if everything about the helmet is nicely fit and your ears being folded in is the only issue you are facing, you might have elf ears and the best solution is probably to use a skull cap.

Open face for LS2 spitfire and its freaking tight, had to forcefully insert my finger to adjust my ears cuz its folded. the ear pads can be removed but has yet to try it. as for the bell Qualifier, there's definitely pressure on my ears when i tried it on but not as bad as ls2. I also tried Lazer rafale sr helmet, trying to find more info whether its neutral oval or intermediate oval cuz its darn comfortable, fits like a glove

any pressure point is a sure fire way to tell. imagine trying to squeeze a ball into an oval hole and you will have a good idea of where you can expect the pressure points to be, you will typically have pressure along the sides while the front and back has room. since everyone's head is different, the pressure points can be in different places around the circumference of the head, for most people its probably on the temper, for some it could be on the side of the head.

ideally you want a helmet where every part of your head presses more or less equally on and it should be a little difficult to put on and remove. i mean like you really have to pull it in as the liner will mold a little to your head.

can try Lazer helmet, i think my head is more rounder than intermediate oval and lazer helmet fits perfectly.

I cycle so I do wear cycling helmets. I have a round asian head. I used to wear Sepcialized helmets but they felt loose with a quick turn of the head and I need to wear a buff to stabilise the fit.
More oval shaped brands like Kask and Abus also need a buff to help with fit.
Only kabuto and some lazer helms just sit on my head and fit comfortably without a buff.

when you wear the helmet, dont push it down frm top down.

hold both straps pull open both sides, open face is more flexible, put ur head diagonally frm side of temple..

What helmet brand you tried?

I used to wear an LS2 modular size XL which was passed down from a friend so the pads were already quite worn, same case also very tight until lipat ear. Now I bought my Shoei Neotec 2, measure my head I'm only supposed to use a size L if follow Shoei charts, and the shell size of the L Shoei is larger than the XL size LS2! The LS2 chin bar would touch my chin while the Shoei still had loads of room, and my ears do not fold in when wearing the Shoei.

Do avoid China helmets as you don't know how safe they are.

Mostly LS2 (full face and modular), because i walk the Sentul street and nearly find shop by shop. mostly reach XXL(Maybe I still missed some shops). only LS2 is got 3XL on stock. The funny things is when i tried the LS2 3XL modular, the flip up part cant even be flip down already. I now using 4XL, have 0 loose and chin still touch the chin bar if I open mouth. Maybe i need try find if any Shoei that provide customization. Also found out HJC CL-17 have size up to 4XL.

i find the AGV Asian fit quite forgiving. perhaps you can try that....

also i rather get a KYT than some unknown from China...

I did know your concern. If KYT have my size, I sure go for it. The mood when you walked down whole sentul street and all shop give you their head shaking. doh.gif

Mostly LS2 (full face and modular), because i walk the Sentul street and nearly find shop by shop. mostly reach XXL(Maybe I still missed some shops). only LS2 is got 3XL on stock.

do you know/ can you agak wht is your head shape?

if round, ls2 hjc is not right for you. these are oval or long oval try some shoei, like the noetec2, agv asian fit.

Can try other brand see, because like I said, my old LS2 helmet size XL, my chin touching the bar already, need to adjust the helmet to give it like 1cm clearance lol. If the problem is chin touching the bar then going larger won't really help because most manufacturers especially cheaper ones share one shell size with a large range of sizes (eg, L-3XL all same shell size) and just differ in the padding.

Don't think I can recommend the Shoei to you as it is a very premium priced helmet but I say if you have the budget you can go check them out. Or at least you can go to the store and try it on for size at least to get a feel of it. Go to a shop and try all the other brands helmet as well some brands might have larger shell sizes. Don't terus ask for the size which you THINK is correct, let the shop measure your head and let them decide what is a good size fit for you. When I bought my Shoei I thought I needed an XL or larger as the XL LS2 was tight until folding ear. The guy measured my head and told me I'm an L, and the shell size of my Shoei is quite noticeably larger than my old LS2 where my LS2 can fit comfortably in my rear box upright while the Shoei needs to be sideways at an angle to fit in the box, also the chin clearance is sooooo much roomier than the LS2.

Don't give up, just go try out more helmets! Maybe the more premium LS2 helmets like the Valiant may be larger, can try that and see hmm.gif

For Shoei, you can go to Bikeworld Klang(part of Autobacs) or Welly Shah Alam see.

Edit: Just checked back and you said your head is 65cm, for Shoei their largest XXL is supposingly up to 64cm only though. You sure you measured it right?

Edit 2: Just looked at Givi offering, the Voyager only comes in 1 shell size doh.gif

Caberg Sintesi seems to have 65cm XXXL, good luck finding it in Malaysia...

the shape should be round/square but I have long lower jaw(mandibular Prognathism). And i did wear spec too if it matter. I think i will skip neotec2 as i prefer full face.

Thanks for advices. Actually, I asked them any bigger than 3XL, then they mostly said biggest is 3XL and I request to try(some shops request to measure first). But then its hardly fit in. after that, i asked any helmet bigger than this and they shake their head. Got 1 shop offer to cut the inner foam thinner but i reject, because i believe the thickness of foam have their purpose.
The one that i using right now is hardly to fit in my backpack too(need some angle to put in), while my wife's LS2 can easy put in with any angle sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif
I prefer full face over modular.(so ls2 valiant and Caberg Sintesi should out of my consider too)
reply to Edit 1: Yeah, last time i measured accordingly and its a 65cm-66cm.(maybe double check again tonight.) or perhaps i need pay a visit to the shop that you mentioned.

again, thanks for both of your recommendation.

Ahhh thought you were looking for modular as i think i confused your comment with someone elses' about chin touching the helmet when close the chin guard doh.gif

Anyway, HJC CL-17 seems to be popular, but doesn't seem to be common in Malaysia. Good luck.

https://www.webbikeworld.com/extra-large-mo...-for-big-heads/

Some guys on Reddit are saying the Shoei XXL is truly larger than other helmet of the same size. You can try drop by some shops and try on the Shoei's if you don't mind the big price tag icon_rolleyes.gif

my bad to make u confused doh.gif because i did feel my chin can touch the chin guard while talking in my full face sweat.gif
I do check the 2 site first before i concluded with HJC CL-17. and yes, it not really common in Malaysia. maybe need try luck to call the HJC dealer first.
I dont mind the Shoei price tag, but my wallet do mind laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif so maybe will check the HJC first before anything else.

You can try go over to Welly Shah Alam search for Chris. I just asked him earlier and he say just come over he'll measure your head and see first. He also brings in HJC though not much models I think, more focused to Shoei. Go over and see how first ba. Going there is free, scared kena poison only become expensive laugh.gif

This is exactly what happened to me.. went to find chris a month ago, did all measurement very professional. My budget 1.5k.. kena racun and bought xspirit-3. Ask got diff color visor, gottttt.. put on and see and then he quoted "wow look at this such a beauty.. put already might as well"... racun again in the end spent 3k+ for helmet.. but for real he did a good job on helping measurement and recommendations on your head fitting. And shoei did have professional personal fitting after u bought your helmet but depends on their roadshow, almost every 1-2 months will have.. no regrets thou xspirit3 damn comfy

I was looking at this helmet initially. But it doesn't come with a sun visor. Then wanted to get gt air 2, but it was not in msia yet
So I ended up getting rpha70.
I need a helmet with sun visor as I am using it daily Monday to Friday.

Same here bro. I wanted to get a simple white or silver one to save money. He didn't have the white one in stock, and the silver/grey ones were not as nice as I thought in real life, then saw the hi-vis yellow Tracer colourway I was like damn that looks pretty good, he poison abit more then case closed. End up spending near 4k because buy Cardo Freecom 4+ and a pair of Alpinestar gloves together laugh.gif

But ok la, no regrets with my purchase, size also ngam and comfy flex.gif

When I was wearing LS2, it was an XL and the chin bar is already touching my chin, the L sized Shoei Neotec 2 shell size is way larger than the LS2 as it can't fit in my box the same way the LS2 can, and I have sooo much more space between my chin and chin bar now, and it's even lighter too!

i dont own this helmet.

if u look @ it, its the lower range of shark helmet.
so there must be some spec thats diff frm the expensive ones.
mostly will be one shell size, plastic shell.

if one really into getting a helmet thts worth the $$$
there is alot to compare even for lower price range helmets..

bangwall.gif 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.

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.

not so sure if they rebrand.
very sure if the helmet is made in italy, it will proudly state/chop made in italy. just like arai - boldly say made in japan.
alot eu helmets made in china(which they wont state made where), only those high end model still made in italy.

ECE is not that great of a standard to adhere to, particularly in modular helmet due to the way the testing is conducted. for a full face it might be ok since there is less point of failure, but there are many cases of ECE approved modular that has the chinbar come undone on more rigourous testing.

personally i only use helmet that are at least SHARP tested. and more so for a modular. basically i am willing to use a ECE approved full face, but will only use a sharp approved modular...

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")

SNELL is the gold standard, so really nothing much to say other than its the SAFEST money can buy.... but with one big caveat, there are some helmets that will never pass SNELL even if they are as safe as other SNELL approved coz of the features that immediately disqualify them (ie. internal visor and modular).

SNELL is focused on racing and the testers deliberately test the helmet at what they feel are the weak spots so they are more comprehensive. however, SNELL rated helmet might be noisy, lacks feature, uncomfortable, etc. so while it is the gold standard for racing, it is not necessarily the best for everyday use.

call me a sucker for buying into SHOEI's marketing talk, but i agree with its philosophy of "Active Safety" even at the cost of SNELL certification.

in conclusion, i still use SHARP as my preferred standard (until the ECE 22.06 comes into play).

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.

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.

There is a nolan xlite msia fb page, run by qbee motor, they are the distributor, can go ask them.
Or you try call welly batu caves to check if they hv this model.
Bell is also dist by qbee motor jb.

Some suggestion above for under 500 ff helmet.
or can check some ls2, kyt.. these have jpj sticker if it is not grey import.

Zeus helmet maybe is cheap, make sure get from reliable source.

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.

Interesting. Yes, there are a lot of weird brands out there but if it's below RM100 I think it's safe to say it can't be trusted. Only buying ECE approved helmet, but realised some LS2 have limited parts in Malaysia. I got an FF370 and legit can't find a pinlock visor seller.

For those that ask ff below rm400, can check out LS2 ff370,
it is modular helmet that received 4star rating from sharp.
The locking is 100% secure during the entire test.

Just the pinlock shield though. I found a few visors but with a drop down sun visor I don't think I want a tinted one haha!

Don't worry, 2k helmet also have wind noise. Just get ear plugs if you plan to ride over 30 minutes. Hearing damage is gradual and hope nobody lives to regret it.

it will be ideal, but antifog spray works too. It doesn't fog up as much, but when it rains it will help loads, esp when you can't crack open your visor when water is gushing everywhere.

i am also looking for a solution to this also, but do you think an anti fog insert is better? will it obstruct vision especially the borders.

Thank you for your suggestion. That Shark Ridill looks like the best choice for a FF @ RM450. Just wonder the ones in Malaysia pass ECE or not.

Any other suggestions? Otherwise I’ll probably pull the trigger.

Hi all , anyone using MT Helmet ATOM SV ?

ive had it for a couple of years i think....feature-wise its quite good....but i really dont like it....its so heavy... i ride a naked bike and the aero on the helmet is pretty bad which forces my head to be pushed back by the wind above 140kmh hurting my neck, add the weight to that, ouch. wind noise is weird as its very loud on the left side only while the right is not too bad. build quality is meh, my visor will not stay up and will close halfway right in my line of sight blocking my vision.

when brand new, it seemed to fit fine, but after awhile the padding started to get softer where it wont fit my head shape again properly and there will be times when my head will hurt alot wearing it.

so i avoid wearing this helmet most of the time.

and i truthfully wanna sell it off as i recently finally managed to get enough money to upgrade to an Rpha90.

would highly recommend increasing budget abit and look at other flipup alternatives such as Lazer at LSH Racing World... anything around the 1.5kg mark or below should do fine.. the atom is 1.7kg

modulars are definitely heavier as they have the whole flip up mechanism to add to the weight unlike fullface which doesnt move. they are also usually pricier

cant recommend any retro full faces coz i dont like them so theyre not on my radar

He could be referring to this story: https://motorbikewriter.com/are-modular-hel...afe-in-a-crash/
Interesting comments below, do take a look, particularly on the Nolan importer's comments.

Given that chin injury is one of the highest, really must latch on properly on a modular helmet.
IINM, some or few modular helmets are SNELL certified.

IINM, some or few modular helmets are SNELL certified.
*
this could be just a one off fluke.... as mentioned, this is also the first report of a nolan opening up. but yes, i believe the angle of crash and impact location casing distortion is what caused the helmet to open up.

whatever the testing or safety ratings done, ppl need to realize that it should NEVER be considered as final... alot of ppl do this. its just a guideline.

just coz in a test by snell, ece, sharp or whoever says that its 100% wont open... doesnt mean it wont open in a real live crash. tests are done in a very specific way in a controlled environment... real life crashes are definitely not the same as there waaaaaaaaaaaayyy too many variables - chaotic environment/conditions.

ive had it for a couple of years i think....feature-wise its quite good....but  i really dont like it....its so heavy... i ride a naked bike and the aero on the helmet is pretty bad which forces my head to be pushed back by the wind above 140kmh hurting my neck, add the weight to that, ouch. wind noise is weird as its very loud on the left side only while the right is not too bad. build quality is meh, my visor will not stay up and will close halfway right in my line of sight blocking my vision.

when brand new, it seemed to fit fine, but after awhile the padding started to get softer where it wont fit my head shape again properly and there will be times when my head will hurt alot wearing it.

so i avoid wearing this helmet most of the time.

and i truthfully wanna sell it off as i recently finally managed to get enough money to upgrade to an Rpha90.

would highly recommend increasing budget abit and look at other flipup alternatives such as Lazer at LSH Racing World... anything around the 1.5kg mark or below should do fine.. the atom is 1.7kg

i no likey my flipup LAzer, bought it a year ago and only used it less than 10 times. shell size abit too big since they only have 2 shell sizes

In the comment section, a Nolan agent asked to inspect the helmet. It's no joke putting the Italian brand name up there. Too bad it happened, but luckily it seems to be very slight injury albeit on the face. Even Ironman's face shield got torn off couple of times, so it's a question of how reliable the overall mechanism and user latching it on, against the forces of nature. Between the two, I don't trust myself with modular helmets, haha. I believe no one wants to get caught in the situation of modular helmet failure, so personally if I should be asked, I will tell them to trust it only to a certain extent.

Can consider selling it off while it's still useable (within that 5 year window). So, it looks like a lollipop head once you put that helmet on? Or it just feels too heavy/bulky?

dont think its that easy to sell since the size of the helmet is XL but of course i would like to and purchase myself a full face instead of using a modular (newbie mistake, first helmet)
and yes it looks like a lollipop head and i ain't that small size either. sad.gif

Yup. I also dare not buy online cos the fit is very different with different helmets. 1 brand L size could equal another brand's M size (depending on your head shape also) so it is always very subjective and a trip to the shop would be the best option.

I wouldnt be caught with a half face or modular helmet for the heck of my life. Full face offers far superior protection but ECE or SNELL certified only. I had also seen lot of people trying to cheap out on helmet, yes ECE and SNELL rated helmets are on the pricier side, but from personal experience these things to save your life when it matters the most.

normally distributor they dont wana compete with their dealers, so better check they have ready stock + the size, and the price maybe dealer can give better discount.

Just sharing the problem I've solved on my new helmet.. Not sure if it does the same to others, but can give it a try.. Bought my new helmet few months back, and compared to my cheapo previous helmet, this is quieter.. But recently started realizing left side of the helmet is noticeable louder than the right.. After some test, discover that this sunvisor slide is the source of the noise.. Covered it up and I have a much much quieter helmet.. So anyone having same slide on their helmet can try this.. Con is the visor can't be use anymore, haha.. BTW, mine is LS2 FF324 (modular)...

Hi all , anyone using MT Helmet ATOM SV ?
*
I think this reply is 8 MTHS old, but just posting for the record.

I have one. It was the best helmet the shop had when I bought my bike.

Build quality not the best, my visor gasket is already coming off after a few months of use. Anyone know who is the distributor and where I can claim warranty?

Wind noise is bad. You have to wear earplugs with this past 100. As for aero, you get some buffeting at 130-140. Beyond that I get lift.

Weight, I am not too concerned. 1750g for my M. It's typical of a poly shell modular with visor so it's not overweight for the class. Other than the weight, I find it fit fairly well and comfortable. Airflow on the top is quite decent. Chin vent could be better designed to let in more air to defog.

Other cons, I use M and get stuck on the same L, XL and 2XL shell so I look like a bobblehead. View angles narrow at top. It's a touring helmet so not meant to be used in a tuck, although sometimes you want to hide under the windshield for some relief on the highway.

I'm looking for a midrange helmet to supplement my MT Atom SV as posted in my post above.

Budget about 1k.

Full face since I already have a modular for city use. Primarily for highway use, so lighter weight, noise and aero is appreciated. dual Visor would be nice.

Currently looking at Scorpions exo 2000 and Zeus' new 1800B carbon helmet.

Anyone with experience with them?

The Zeus seems pretty well spec'ed. Carbon shell, 2 density EPS..1389g in M size. Selling for 950.

Gotta try them for fit. Wind buffet can be caused by chin guard, and space between the cheekpads or back of neck.
Long distance ride is best to wear earplugs, aka >30 minutes.

For protection, look for ECE standard.
Check for parts availability and after sales service.

Also can consider Rafale?

I tested the ZS-1800, feels good. Slightly heavier (for a carbon helmet) due to the double visor, rather they do without it. Fits good for oval head.

You can test it out at GBS. I am eyeing for the ZS-1900 (fibreglass, without internal visor), just waiting for sales.

i know a shop (quite big name in KL oso) who used to sell the MT Helmet Jet helmets (forgot the model name). they decided to stop selling coz they had so many warranty claims from buyers for the sun visors but MT Helmet wont entertain the warranty claims and the shop had to repair the helmets themselves - their own manpower and their own cost. coz of that they refused to sell MT Helmets anymore.

Update us which one u get... quite curous about those helmets.

u could look at Lazer MH5 too if its still available. or could also look at Scorpion ADX-1 n remove the peak if u like that style and willing to top up a lil more.

holeshot motowear has modular helmets from Acerbis which was under RM1k.... was following my friend who was looking for helmets and we really liked them but didnt buy it coz the designs didnt suit his taste.

he ended up with the Atom SV despite me telling him i dont agree to it... now even he has head pains with the Atom and he hasnt even used it that much laugh.gif

not just protection.... but legality as well... to be road legal here u need to have SIRIM or ECE. if ur helmet has SNELL but not SIRIM or ECE pun considered not road legal.

Indeed. Have to wait until MCO restrictions open before can go to the shops. Helmets are one thing you can't buy online. Have to get proper fitment. Currently shops all closed. Went looking for Motoworld but they are closed.

Definately have to get the ECE standard helmet. Too bad 22.06 helmets will still another 2 years to show up.

I've got 2 right now. Same like you, open face for nearby, and a modular for proper use. Planning to get a full face and that's it.

LS2 is used less and less now as i prefer the modular helmet more.. Suprisingly i feel that the modular is less windy compared to the fullface helmet 🤨

Guys,

What's up with this Ruroc helmet? I've seen a lot of memes about them on social medias, YT, and reddit. Seemed that they refused to have their helmets certified and instead of asking for their buyers to give a recommendation.

A visit to their site seemed that their helmets are mostly pre-order items and the price is rclxub.gif

ruroc has been making skiing helmets for years n couple of years ago started to make motorcycle helmets. their helmets are ECE certified.

those helmets look damn cool... unfortunately there has been quite a few complaints about the build quality and overall execution of the helmet. (dont look at big motovloggers like chase, walter etc who will give rave reviews about them coz sponsored vs youtube videos of those who actually bought the helmet)

the helmets are full CF and do have some nice features so the price kinda justifies....but i wouldnt spend that kinda money on the poor build quality.

Yeah, there was this issue with sponsored YT videos that hyped up the brand.

For that kind of money, I would opt for established brands in the market like Arai, Shoei, HJC, etc.

A good modular will feel less windy than a good full face. Full face need wide bottom opening wind will come in from around you neck. Modular have tighter neck padding but a good modular will have a better fitment in the hinge and joints where the wind can come it.

I tried this from testing schuberth c3pro vs 1st gen hjc rpha 10 a while back.

Im using this open face helmet. I wonder if an open face with a full visor in front reduces the wind noise significantly compared to this type of helmet.

Using same type of helmet. Bila i put on full face helmet pun wind noise kurang sikit Aje. These days I put on wireless buds and the wind noise reduced a lot. So yes, wind noise is best reduced by ear plugs

ExCrIpT that's a cool helmet. Is it certified for standards?

wind noise - around the neck roll, chin, and behind the neck
can test as you ride, by covering those gaps
some helmets come with earplugs, Pista GP R, but that's another level

for those wearing earbuds, if you hit on the helmet next to the earbud, will it hurt your ears? For this reason I'm more inclined to wearing soft earplugs.

LS2 Spitfire

Its ECE certified, this helmet imo looks much better but i got the plain one. was in a rush to get a helmet for the b full practical and i needed a XL size helmet, couldnt find a cheapo XL SGV helmet (or maybe i dunno where to find cuz i noobie biggrin.gif )

i like the visor and the quick release buckle but the windnoise is horrible (ard 60 km/h) compared to using a modular helmet.
Since i use this helmet for nearby taman riding only, so i guess its ok.

A good modular will feel less windy than a good full face. Full face need wide bottom opening wind will come in from around you neck. Modular have tighter neck padding but a good modular will have a better fitment in the hinge and joints where the wind can come it.

I tried this from testing schuberth c3pro vs 1st gen hjc rpha 10 a while back.

although not arguing with ur logic about the padding.... coz i agree with the logic but...

i think u should retest with a different full face to properly know the difference. coz ur comparing a helmet known for its quietness vs a helmet known to be noisy.

the rpha series are known to be loud as hell lol

I'm using one of those stem type earphone (like airpods) with my open face helmet. Nak sarung helmet and using it with the helmet on is no problem. But when taking off the helmet, it will be caught by the helmet and can cause pain. Can snug it in under a buff but then it'll be a bitch with face mask lagi

KL, Ipoh and Penang, but I think only Shoei has PFS, that's with official Shoei rep once a while

Arai has peel-off cheekpads
Some brands can order intermediate liner, depending on helmet models
Not sure about other brands - AGV, Suomy, Shark, Scorpion etc
Some repair service also can assist fitting, let you add padding

What brand you looking to get?
What size?
Headshape?
Any existing experience with helmets?

62 - 63 cm oval shaped and most of the full faces just sit on my head like a crown. I saw a 5xl helmet full face on amazon but its 1000 and half of that is delivery fee so I ll save it for a last resort. Plus the pendemic aint helpin either with all the cross state lockdowns. Haih wear my cap ayam dulu. Thank you for all the suggestions I ll take note of them.

That's an XL or 2XL.
5XL is 69cm.

you should not expect the your head to slide into a FF helmet without effort. depending on the fit, some will require you to pull the helmet padding apart and pull downwards from the forehead towards the neck

some helmet has 'moveable' cheek pads to help putting on the helmet

The cheek pad a bit stiff .. 10k Km ride with the helmet still hard the cheek pad, pressuring my jaw .. and sore in the long run. but the top skull shape mold is good better than LS2 range of helment which giving pressure on the top of ears.

the metal strap buckle rust prematurely, still can use but rusty..

Changed to HJC I-90 heavier but quieter

I measured my head around 57cm (which is M)
But when I go to helmet shop, M size seems too small
Now I'm using L (HJC CS-15)

Seems this is my first time buying a full-face helmet, I'm a bit struggle and feel a bit uncomfortable at my cheek.
And i feel that my FOV a bit restricted (before this just using normal helmet on my kapcai)

well one thing u can do is change the cheekpad. shopee got the cheekpad. find the one that is less thick from yours.

usually the cheekpad will push ur cheek a bit but i think its normal. giving it the tightness without gripping ur forehead and make u dizzy.

Small or tight?

New helmet should be a bit tight/snug. As long you don't get pressure points. If the shop allow you to test wear the helmet, request to wear it looked 5 to 10 minutes. Feel it
Any pressure points?

When you buy helmet, it should be tight. Once you start wearing it, it will mould to your face shape nicely. It should be snug. Not loose.

FOV ... You will get used to it.

HJC is generally narrow, worst case tight on the sides and loose in the front.

Another reference from ages ago. As long as it fits comfortable, and don't buy helmets without testing.
CS-15 is HJC very old design, tried and true. Visor is widely available compared to newer ones sold at higher price.

Just bought HJC C70 , my headsize same with yours 57cm and can't fit into M size as well. End up choosing L size as it was fitting though the cheek pads are pressing on my cheeks a bit more than my previous KHI fullface.

Guys, I'm looking for a second helmet for daily use. Right now I'm still using trusty old arc discovery bought back at 15 years ago and doing great but got wear and tear already. Right now I'm eyeing for kyt nfj because I like Petronas livery, hjc fg jet and shoei j-cruise 2. How's kyt compare to hjc helmet? And what about hjc? Does it good? I'm familiar with shoei but I wish I don't need spend rm2k for helmet.

Wow 15 years old helmet.

Kyt, hjc and shoei. They all in different category my friend. Good budget, cheap premium and premium. All different price point. Difference would be padding quality and other materials PC vs fiberglass. For open face I don't feel that much difference because its all noisy. Padding for me all of them it's fine but kyt is cheaper to replace whenever it become thin.

I use nfj myself I admit my neotec 2 liner fabric feels softer to me but nfj is quite good for the price

How about hjc? seems hjc fitment a tighter than standard which my head measures 57cm. Does it tighter too for open face helmet? Im aware the discussion above is for fullface category. There's a quite positive feedback for hjc fg jet.

Brands do follow certain head shapes but even between models they can differ. Best to test the helmet at a brick and mortar and spend 30 minutes wearing them before you pull the trigger. Just make sure the crown of the head isn't to tight. The cheek is suppose to be tight even with an open face. The padding will break in over time around the cheek.

For the hjc...to put into perspective, my friend and i have the same modular mt helmet...same size model.etc...he actually tested mine n liked the fitment n bought for himself...he also bought a hjc jet helmet (forgot model)...he hated it..but when i try that helmet i loved it..fitment was nice n super.comfy...i also.like that the cheek area goes a lil lower than most other jet helmets...its definitely.comfier than my givi jet helmet but since i ride a naked, i feel the givi cuts thru the wind better. So end of the day still best to try it urself to see...coz someone may like it but u may hate it.

And to add to ur confusion, look at the lazer tango sr helmet available at lsh...abt rm500. Thats a jet helmet i wanna buy coz it was so comfy when i tried it on and it looks damn good with a visor that has a sharper profile than my givi (to cut thru the wind) and also looks like it goes down a lil further than my givi

Got 2x LS2 Metro FF324 that were in the RM500+ price range when I got them. Not too impressed with the polycarbonate shell as they flex quite a bit, causing issues with the drop-down sun visor. Owned 4 different LS2 fullface models before, never had any flexing issue due to the non-modular design.

Due to the flex, the drop-down sun visor would catch & get stuck. Not an issue on short rides, but an annoyance on long rides coz I absolutely need my drop-down visor to work smoothly.

Maybe it's the luck of the draw since you can't inspect them when buying online.

Also... one of the FF324 helmets is the Firefly model that has a matt finish. Total garbage, held up for 2 years before flaking off. Had a Givi fullface with a matt finish before, and that didn't hold up well either. Moral of the story - steer clear of matt finishes, stick to gloss only.

On the plus side, they readily take an intercom system & was able to mount a thin Ordro 4K gimbal cam without issues.

Anyhow, I'm getting the Scorpion Exo Tech next. It's the best looking modular whose chin bar is designed to flip all the way back.

I found I tend to ride with the chin bar open quite a lot, so now I want a modular helmet that allows me to flip the chin bar out of the way completely instead of leaving it hanging open on top of my head.

Not too familiar with Roof, Shark & Airoh coz these brands are a scarcity here.

I have checked out the LS2 FF399 Valiant & the newer model FF900 Valiant II. The chin bars are huge which gives these helmets a wide, round bottom look. Makes me look fatter than I already am.

Tried the older Scorpion ADX1 modular at Motoworld and I like the fit of Scorpion helmets, so I'm quite partial to the Exo Tech... when it's back in stock, that is.

Thanks all for the reply...will check around and see which is suitable. Like all mention...need to test the helmet to get the feel. Planning to get open face x 1 for local ride and ff x 1 for longer journey. After reading all sifus opinion here..might skip modular due to budget reason as well as weight.

Currently eyeing on Givi M30 series..either m30.1...2 or .3..any feedback on these helmet..seems like cant go wrong with Givi stuff..am I correct to say so..?

What about Givi vento 50.1 or .2..? Any review on these stuff as well.? Hardly found review internationally on Givi helmet that sold locally on utube...

Thanks for all feedback and input..

Ignore m30.1 n get .2 or .3...those come with sun visors..i have the m30.3 n i ride a naked bike...comfy n high speeds the helmet doesnt get pushed by the wind as much as others ive tried. Couple of friends has the m30.2 n they are happy with theirs too.

M50.2 for the sun visor though ive never used it before..

u could also look at lazer helmets sold at lsh racing world if they r within ur budget..

Lazer tango sr open face is ard 499
Lazer rafale sr ard 799

Ive tried both n they are really comfy

for shark helmets, can direct contact the distributor in kl.
the latest flip-up model is evo gt which is available here.

airoh helmet only some model available.
roof - no distributor (used to have)

shark evo gt locks the chin bar when it is fully flip up.
ls2 doesnt hv this feature.

Guys, sorry if this isn't the right place to post, haven't logged in for a while, but I'm looking to find a home for a good helmet. Pls direct me to the right place if this isn't the right section.

Bought for the wife, but sadly, wrong size. She wore it only for 15mins but said too small. Sigh.

Scorpion Exo 920 modular helmet in matt black, S size. 100% original.
Got it for over 800 new, I'm looking for 550 nego. Pristine condition, pretty much brand new. Will throw in a new TCOM VB headset for another 100.

Tx, appreciate it. DM for more info.

I'm trying to get the Shoei Neotech 2 helmet but the shop I went to only had XL and it was too small. They told me there is a 2XL size but that will have to be ordered. I don't feel like ordering it without trying because I would not want to commit to an ill fitting helmet, just in case. Does anyone know which shop has a 2XL Neotech available to try?

Certified to ECE22.05 so should be ok. Sharp rating are available for some models. It's a Spanish brand but really based in China, last time same factory as MHR. Now top models got carbon fibre and MotoGP FIM approval.

Just make sure to look at the details when buying. Sometimes the visor sealing not perfect, so kena rain will seep inside.

If it is ECE rated, it should be good.

Sharp rating is more rigorous and it costs a lot more to the manufacturer to send helmets in for the organization to test, so you'll typically only see this on high end models esp those that are used for racing.

ECE rating is mandatory for all helmets sold in Europe, but not in the US. ECE tests are done by the organization and are also more rigorous compared to DOT.

DOT is trickier. I saw videos explaining that DOT operates on an honor system, where manufacturers are allowed to put the DOT label on helmets they *feel* meet the standard and *intend* to test themselves. Bottom line, DOT helmets are not tested and verified by a regulatory body or organization, which is why you're likely to see this on lesser helmet brands.

I wonder where SIRIM sits in the scheme of things.

SIRIM is based on ECE test and is also done by them. So if it is SIRIM approved you can be assured of its safety. Better to take a helmet that is SIRIM approved without DOT compared to a helmet with only DOT

DOT sticker is trust basis, helmet manufacturer need to self test for compliance. DOT testing is done on random, and the database can be found online. Many branded helmets fail performance, but still allowed to be sold. SNELL list can be found, but not the results. You won't see AGV helmets here. Worth to note, SNELL database can see LS2 and Jiangmen Pengchen helmets certified for M2015 list. Jiangmen Pengchen makes MHR and LS2 brands. I haven't found ECE test data available online, same with SIRIM too.

Another China brand, J*****, also quite interesting. I managed to contact their customer service, and asked about DOT and ECE approvals. For the same model, can order DOT approved, or ECE approved model. Using same material, but different amount, can achieve different approval rating. And they did send me a list of other brand names they sell across the world. However, in Malaysia, I only saw DOT approved on sale.

Agree on the above helmet, is not suitable for Malaysian road from compliance perspective.

Different country got different culture, laws, or rules. DOT US allows half helmet like the above, it is certified for road use, JIS also allows half helmet, but limited to engine cc.
SIRIM/ECE allows jet helmets without visors. Half or steng helmets like up there one, sure not accepted but they are still available for sale. If visors (clear, tinted) are included, they are subjected to ECE tests as well.

To be frank, affordable helmets likely fail the current ECE 22.05 or the MS1:2011 tests. I hope Malaysian helmet makers catch up la.

That would be the illegal route. The agent must have done some funny business.

Now, customs will tahan your helmet if it doesn't have a SIRIM mark & JPJ approval.

Now, JPJ require all newly sold helmets in the market to be SIRIM marked. Even DOT approved helmets are not accepted now.

So, buying online from overseas right now will most likely get your helmet confiscated at the end (unless the manufacturer has obtained the SIRIM mark).

Even if you go travel overseas, buy a helmet & bring it back to Malaysia as carry on luggage; most likely it will be confiscated when you arrive.

It will be upon the discretion of the Customs officers to allow it to be brought in.

They should be tested according to the MS 1, MS 1-1, & UN ECE R22 standards, for helmets; MS 1-2, MS 1065 & UN ECE R22 for the visors. The helmets need to pass the impact, penetration & retention test (I can't remember the rest of the testing regime).

https://youtu.be/-sXPM6WQ2O0

If SIRIM are accredited to conduct the test & certification, I don't see why they would be less qualified than other Certification Bodies available.

If that is the case they must have done the JPJ's CTA (component type approval) by an approved Certification Body.

I've checked back again the rules that was recently enforced, the main requirements for the JPJ CTA are either MS 1 or UN ECE R22 by an accredited Certification Body.

For bringing in helmets from overseas for personal use, either by online purchase or by flight carry on luggage, if the helmets does not have the JPJ approval yet, the helmet must have a valid UN ECE R22 certification. However, upon entry you will still need to apply for JPJ approval.

If that is the case they must have done the JPJ's CTA (component type approval) by an approved Certification Body.

I've checked back again the rules that was recently enforced, the main requirements for the JPJ CTA are either MS 1 or UN ECE R22 by an accredited Certification Body.

For bringing in helmets from overseas for personal use, either by online purchase or by flight carry on luggage, if the helmets does not have the JPJ approval yet, the helmet  must have a valid UN ECE R22 certification. However, upon entry you will still need to apply for JPJ approval.

Okay so based on what I found here, your helmet will be confiscated by kastam on arrival. According to the guideline provided by JPJ, You need to send an email containing pictures of the ECE tag within the helmet to JPJ to obtain the approval, but how do you even do that when the item is still confiscated by kastam? Doesn't make much sense.

That's too bad, I assume the item will get stuck at Kompleks Kastam in KL? Then it's not really feasible for people outside of KL to travel there just to get it released.

When the helmet confiscate was in the news, I know someone who bought China helmet from shopee. RM60 with internal visor. The person bought 2 on separate occasions from different seller. That same helmet also got local seller at slightly higher price.

The helmets arrived with no issue. After use a while, the helmet EPS liner tercabut from the shell, and then inside the shell got 1 sticker.

The sticker says 'suitable for electric moped under 30kmh only'.
My friend gave the helmets away.

SIRIM ada test helmets, for local manufacturers and and imported brands want to get the SIRIM label. MS1 helmet certification got 2, 1996 and 2001 IINM.

JPJ is the governing body on what we use for head protection. Kastam jaga whatever we import.

So, all these 3 bodies work together to earn money from helmet makers or importers or buyers to make sure we wear the correct helmets, eventhough they sendiri may not wear helmets.

This is the awkward part, when the helmets arrived, it will be "confiscated" by Customs. That is when you will receive the Notis Penahanan Kastam.

The best way & only possible way to get the pictures is to request it from the seller before shipping out your helmet. Especially when buying online.

by providing all the required documents (via online system), JPJ will then grant the approval & later present it to Customs for the item to be released.

Nice. I'm hoping to find SIRIM tested visor for local helmets. Such as those smoke or iridium ones.
Mainly for impact protection, and optical quality.

At one time, I bought a smoked visor, it made my sense of distance off, things macam flat, colorless, and the surroundings appear less 3D. That helmet, very old liao, so used a bit later threw away.
Switched to a different helmet and pasang the ori smoked visor, eventho mahal, but the quality really different. The visor even do water beading and is not iridium type.

nowadays, I buy helmet will ask what visor they sell, got ori smoke? ori iridium? then will consider that helmet
I heard branded visor even up to 3~4 hundred a piece, those visor must got see through ability

Please provide options for economy helmets with Sirim MS1:2011.
Price range, let's say under RM150?

Apparently MS88 is certified to it.

Would prefer something with visor.

The problem with SIRIM certification is that test are destructive, hence low volume expensinve helmets doesnt make sense to be tested by SIRIM. Say you have an ARAI model which you think will sell 5~6 units, u give 1 unit for SIRIM to test/destroy... how can you cover back your margin?

That being said, my ARAI i went cross border, bought it and wore it back... no SIRIM, but I'm not too worried about the reliability.. tongue.gif

If the budget is only 150, tough to get a good helmet.

My HJC visor alone costs more.

I think the bare minimum would be the givi 30.2 (open face) or the 50.2 (full face)


As a tip, dont buy cheap iridium or those "Revo" coated visors, they scratch very very easily. Cheap visors are also not tested to be impact and shatter resistant. Kind of missing the point for a visor.

Most of the time I just use the ori clear visor as my helmet has a drop down sunshade. Get one with pinlock if going for a full face.

The Sirim sticker may specify is MS1:1996 or MS1:2011

Didn't buy the Shark Ridill. Delayed my plans. Anyway now kena racun by Shoei PFS already. Why the Z8 still not here in Malaysia, seems to be out in ID & SG already. White & that Basalt Grey looks nice.

Anyway, thanks for this helpful thread. Learn a lot here. My turn to contribute

The common notion that SIRIM = ECE 22.05 is wrong since SIRIM can be under MS1:1996
Just bought a new helmet yesterday. Zeus GJ318C RM110
Not sure if its the cheapest ECE 22.05 helmet in MY. But very cheap already.

Requirements was: Use for L helmet, nearby neighbourhood riding, spare helmet, cheap.

Zeus is a Taiwan brand, and the helmet I bought doesn't have JPJ or Sirim but has ECE 22.05. The GJ318C is a cafe style demi-jet with built in half visor. Also comes with the 3 snap button so you can attach a BOGO full face visor if you want. Another feature is removable liner, so can wash.

Price is RM110. Other helmets considered were SGV champion, Magnum, Index dll. But those are all SIRIM only, can't remove liner and cushion doesn't feel as firm - SGV seems overly soft. No brainer to pay a bit more for ECE IMO. Color also very retro style and the cap visor thing (dunno what you call it) is cool looking. There's 1 vent in front and 2 exhaust vent in the rear - actually its just a hole. Got myself matte vespa gray.

Pros: ECE 22.05, nice retro design and color, vents, removable liner, half visor, RM110 what you want. A bit extra get all the features over comparable SGV etc.
Cons: micrometric buckle (double D FTW), not a full face

Jasonthanks for the updates
Sirim MS1:1996 is not ECE, the 2011 is adapted to ECE R22.05. But, you're correct if less informed public can be mistaken, or does not know at all.

Zeus helmet been around here > 10 years. Last time mix with LC owners group already got few users.

KYT made news after buying Suomy and got into MotoGP. Many users brought in cooler and cheaper helmets from the originating country from seberang and become popular. Index used to have nice looking helmets in Thailand that some users brought in also, but that time belum zaman youtube and Insta...

Another brand is Bilmola.

I think the Shoei-style ones were the original ones from Thailand last time. That was like 20+ years ago la. At the time, they were the cheapest helmets you could buy that had nice colourful graphics.

Guys used to go to Haatyai looking for them at one time, before these helmets started appearing in Msia. The Balakong made ones came much later I think.

Index Malaysia does not look related to Index Thailand.

Index Malaysia series is sort of lower range than LTD helmets, cheaper by RM5~10, when they were priced at RM45~55, or RM55~65.
Index Thailand now offers ECE rated helmets liao.

this shows the helmet is ECE 22.05 certified.

this chin strap is more important than the sticker on the rear of the helmet. if u look at the documentation for helmet certifications, they mention nothing about the sticker but only about the tag on the chin strap.

depending on how its installed on the strap, it can come off (unfortunately). mine came off in one of my helmets... luckily i caught it and i epoxied it to the inner side of the helmet to ensuire i always have it.

Wonder anyone wearing Shark Evo One helmet here? Currently eyeing on HJC Rpha90s Carbon and Shark Evo ES.. Recently bought Shark Spartan Carbon and quite like the lightness of it.. So 90s carbon seems to fits my liking.. In the other hand, Shark Evo looks special for the flipback and 1k cheaper, but it's a bit on heavier side.. But saw YouTube review said can't really feel it weight while wearing even on long trip.. Wondering how true it is..

Unfortunately I'm really size XL/XXL haha.. For this size usually modular reached 1700g above (my LS2 1750).. That's why when I bought my fullface at 1390g it's like heaven and hell.. Haha..

Kinda agree, actually went to test just now in Welly which they only have the fiber version.. Even though it's rated at 1650 (just 100g lighter than my LS2), it feels much lighter..Think they balanced it well.. BTW, poisoned by the Suzuki Gsxs750.. Think probably pause the helmet for a while 1st, will try submit loan for bike.. If rejected only go for 90s carbon, if approved then woohoo, new bike.. Hehe..

Not actually impulsive la.. I have actually decided to buy 2nd hand z1000sx in early 2020 before lockdown.. Luckily haven't bought yet then went into lockdown d and I'm severely affected.. But then last year got new part time job and then early this year full time salary restored to pre-covid time.. Furthermore the offer is too good now.. The price was 55k last time when I'm surveying price, but now only selling 41k..
Btw, still sticking to my previous budget which is around 40k+- so can't go for new litre bike.. There also got a z1000sx year '11, but no matter how durable a bike is, sure there will be wear and tear here and there already.. Don't want extra burden on maintenance, so end up choosing 750 new bike la.. Hopefully loan can approve la later, will submit it next week.. Just worry a little coz salary was halves last 2 years, so there are chance that it will be rejected..

Not really, anyway mine is 1st model 2008 which is CBU Japan which many said is the most durable version.. And I took good care of it too.. Bought at 60k mileage straight do VC, then 100k straight do full overhaul.. Anyway, every parts have lifespan especially wear and tear item.. Changed few items during this 3years 60k of riding.. Radiator, coil stick, charging coil.. Repair fork 2 times, then seals in water pump 2times.. That's all, which I think is acceptable for the age of bike..

I missed riding the 2 stroke bike. Oil change? once a year regardless. 2t? was like rm5 for the shell 2t that smell nice one. the engine jammed? let it cool for 5-10 minutes then u'll be off again. the only thing i hate about the 2 stroke are the carbon build ups. my standard exhaust was so clogged that i need a wire to poke in the exhaust. then my friend lent me his BM Power chamber which got me in trouble for a couple of times with the authority lol...

good times... good times..

Yeah the carbon build up was because of using the cheap 2t ones. I was in form 4-5 when i got myself a moped. That was my 1st owned bike and u know as a secondary school boy, money is on the tight side so usually if i cant afford the shell 2t wangi ones.. i’ll go for the cheapest ones. Then theres the old age bike too. So carbon/sludge build up is not too weird.

I missed riding mopeds lol. Sometimes the most simple ones is the most fun ones i say.

right now im using diablo rosso 3 so the tyre is decent enough. thou i feel its a little slippery when the roads are wet. I mean im not really particular about tyres but if u want my limited recommendations, i'd say the best tyre ive use is diablo supercorsa v2 (that thing grips on hot weather) but fade really fast.

Shinko was ok for thousand KM but started to feel slippery after that.

For budget tyres i really prefer conti sportattack. affordable and quite good in hot and wet.

Beside i only got my gixxer for like a year++ and nowdays (with rain and all) i kindda seldom use it. However... i ride to work today and as usual.... its raining cats and dogs here...
