Full Face helmet advice needed!
« on: August 31, 2008, 10:15 AM »
Will this do for bmx racing? Or are the full face mtb DH helmets not so good? I think this is ok for both? I want as much vision as poss fro inside that goldfish bowl, and I think 661's are pretty good?
ANy help appreciated!

I'd spend a bit more tbh , the head is a delicate thing  ;) .

Better protection & still on a budget .......................................

A few guys on here also swear by the Bell Moto 7 I think it is , I've used both Shoei & TLD SE most recently .

I'd personally go for the Bell Moto 7, if it's good enough for supercross then it's good enough for BMX.  :daumenhoch:

I'm think of upgrading to a Moto 7, they seem well priced.

Steve,

The front on those 661's look a bit funny, Tony used one and got rid as the front was too close to his face.

I'd go for a Troy Lee, more expensive but a better lid  IMO :daumenhoch:

Get yourself to the Southern champs at Herne Bay and see them on Grooves stall, then you can race old school with us   :daumenhoch:
