I have a Shark Spartan GT carbon. Lightest most comfortable helmet I've ever owned. Comfort is subjective depends on the shape of your head weight isn't and makes a big difference.

Can I just say a massive thank you to black Friday / cyber Monday deals.
When I posted this I was really struggling as my heart was telling me to splash the cash and go for the Ultra Carbon X-lite but it had a price tag knocking on the door of £500 and quite frankly just could not afford it.
Then X-lite discontinue the fiber glass version which lowers the price from around £480 to around £420
The black Friday happens and prices lowers from £420 to £290...
Thank you very much that will do nicely

That helmet looks more like a Honda red white blue scheme match than GSXR

That's a pretty lid rob,
It's one task I usually hate doing is getting a new helmet.
But will have to endeavour it again now,
(My helmet is 10years+ old now)

Seems to be a fair amount of deals around at the moment, got the feeling they are trying to get rid of 2021 stock in readiness for the 2022 session. If you in the market would suggest you don’t leave it too long.

Just had to get myself a new offroad lid as the lining feel out of mine last event out.
That was painful enough.
Looking forward to getting it muddy now.
