[Stace]

Azonic T-55, they're about £60 - £70.

bell moto 7 £90 from ebay its worth the extra 20-30 quid ... they rrp at over £200

[Stace]

Cool,

Whats constitutes the extra cash.

More than I wanted to spend really !!

[jimmyp]

Your life, priceless

[Stace]

But why is it worth the extra.

Is the azonic rubbish?  I'll pay the extra if I have to but need extra bits, knee and elbow etc !!

[rom_kid_04]

basically the azonic is a low range model .. would probablly be ok but the bell is one of the best lids you can get used by many pro vert riders and mx'ers so you know its a good lid

[Stace]

Cool !!

 

Gotta ask the questions !!

[Flatcap]

Flip me - are we up to 7 already!

Last lid I had was a Bell Moto 4 and that was after having a 3 for years!

Time flies! 

[Stace]

Or any of the 661 range.....there's lots of other fantastic deals on here too!  all of them are made to take a pounding on DH MTB's so they're all good enough for BMX mate!

Got to agree with you there mate, my all time fav!

If I can find one at a reasonable price and in good nick that's what I'll be getting.

A word of caution there Flatcap..

If you're planning on protecting your noggin then a secondhand lid ain't really the way to go. If it's had one good slam  (which may not show on the outside), if you whack it again in the same place it'll transmit that shock straight through.

For sure, buy one to restore like a bike but for riding if you're happy to wear a fullface then go for a Moto7 or Arai VX Pro.  Spend the money, it's worth it 

[ronnie360]

as twobobrob says i would not use one now they have a use buy date

ok as a collectors peace but that is all now,no good for your head 

[TwoBobRob]

Stace,  do a search for the One Industries Trooper lid.  Thats a decent thing and it comes in matt black - looks a treat

what pickle said,i've had my 661 for a few years and it's still going strong

Guys,

Thanks for the comments.

I've decided to try the Giro.  I looked at the Troopers but just can't stretch to it !!  Hopefully the Giro will be OK
