Has anyone ever tried these helmets?

Havn't bought one yet, although I have talked with them about construction and ordering. They are based in Germany. Construction is all fiberglass and very similar to the Simpson helmets. Pricing is pretty fair. Was quoted around $345usd shipped on thier street bandit.

Special helmets for special people? Those lids are so you don't hurt yourself rockin back and forth

Little cheaper than a Simpson to buy, but I'd rather be able to send mine in to Simpson and get it back in less than a week.

Haha I just saw their slogan "Special Helmets for Special People" That is great. Maybe I'll stick with Simpson or Craft haha

FYI, Simpson was bought out by a Chineese firm last year. If the rumor is true, production went overseas as well.

I suspect you can still get them inspected here? Hopefully. Sending my helmet to China might take a while.

Probablly, just kinda sucks that they sold out. Some of the new lids are cool, but they fucked up the visor on the Outlaw. Made it very square and dopey looking. I've also been hearing a decline in quality too... hum.

I just retired my Outlaw after 5 years and 2 knarly wrecks. I would love to get another, but I'm hesitent with all these change of events.

Yeah I'm gonna take a dive and check out the bandit-clone that XPO sells and tell everyone what's up with it. Might be a bit of a step down from my Shoei.
