    If they pass the safety tests then they must be okay.
    Remember at one stage nolan was tagged as cheap tat too.

    Honestly it was one of the nicest helmets I'd seen. The build quality was very good, the materials felt nice. It was comfortable and quiet. The guys who he bought it from couldn't have been more helpful with getting the fitment right (he originally ordered an XL but it was slightly tight on the forehead so they are sending him up an XXL inner to swap with it to try). It was feather light compared to my Shoei. My overall impressions were it was well worth the 5 stars MCN gave it in their reviews. The only question remains is the stability at speed, but all things point to the MCN review being accurate.

    I've had one for a year now. With the new quick release fasteners it's very quiet, I've had NO head wobble at over 140mph. It's light because its carbon fibre and safe because its carbon fibre. I love my lid

    Oh, and I own the white, red & carbon so no one else is allowed it ;)

    They're also on the small side, I have a large but my shoie is a medium.

    They are ace lids. It will be my next lid too.

    Icarus will be along in a minute saying he's the only one allowed to have the black and white one. Ignore him. I'm the only one allowed the black and white one.

    I got mine for £316 with a dark visor a year ago but since spent an extra £80 for the new quick release system and 2 new visors but still worth it.

    Looks nice..but i decided not to buy as users compiled about the noise inside the helmet..not an issue if you wear ear plugs i guess..
