Date Reviewed: April 29, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Black Rock Freeride Area | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Price Paid: |
$120.00 | | Purchased At: | Santiam Bikes | | Strengths: | -Good amount of ventilation
-Light
-Stiff for it's weight
-Visibility
-Fit
-Durability
-Removable/replaceable/washable padding | | Weaknesses: | -Visor did crack in middle attachment on small wreck, but didn't come off | | Similar Products Used: | Giro Mad Max II | | Bike Setup: | '08 Specialized SX Trail frame,DEEMAX wheels, '05 Marzocchi 66RC, Juicy 7's, Saint Cranks, XO rear X7 front, Deity Bar/Stem, Maxxis Minion 2.5F front and rear | | Bottom Line: | Bought the remedy to replace my aging Mad Max II. Worked flawlessly for the last six months, taking small hits from sticks/branches here and there, with the occasional digger crash. Had several wrecks falling directly to my head; one off a log, the other off of an elevated ladder, both of which the helmet came out unscathed, and saving me from significant pain. My latest crash was off of and onto elevated ladder stunts, which ended up destroying my helmet. I impacted face first into the wood landing, immediately going unconscious, and ended up going to the hospital. THIS HELMET SAVED MY LIFE! Inspection of the helmet shows a missing visor, a chunk missing from the faceguard vent spaces, a deep fracture through the right visor hole, a deep fracture through the middle visor tension hole, and multiple small cracks in shell material. I fully endorse this helmet and will also be writing a personal thank you to Giro for making a safe and strong product. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$58.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance | | Strengths: | Light, vents well, looks tight, fits like no other helmet, great padding. Vision is not obstructed at all, works with my huge Blur B1 goggles. | | Weaknesses: | I have the matte black finish, which shows wear. You hit a branch with your helmet and it will scratch. I dont mind but if your that kind of person dont get a matte finish. | | Similar Products Used: | Pryme, Fox Rampage, Deviant | | Bike Setup: | 06 7point: 04 Super T, Rock shox Pearl, Mallets, Saint Brakes, WTB FR wheel set etc etc | | Bottom Line: | This helmet kicks ass. Looks great feels great. I have a oval shaped head and Giro Helmets fit like a glove once I put it on it feels like its a part of me. It has a great feild of vision the mouth piece does not effect your viewing at all, I dont even notice it. This is a great helmet I would buy it again. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$155.00 | | Purchased At: | Cyclon Cycle Industries (CCI) | | Strengths: | Looks, fitting, straps, weight, replaceble pads, price, vision, ventilation | | Weaknesses: | You don't wanna scratch this beauty. None so far. | | Similar Products Used: | Bell Venture | | Bike Setup: | 03 Stinky Primo, RS Domain 318, Holzfeller crank, Juicy 7. | | Bottom Line: | This is such an incredible helmet. It looks so cool. And it also looks fast even sitting on the floor. It's weight is incredible. When I first held it, I thought it was the CF version but my shop guy told me it is the normal one. You get great vision. It is as if you are not wearing a helmet. The pads are can be taken off to wash so it doesn't stink. MBACTION magazine rated it 1st in a full-face shootout with FOX, AXO, 661, Specialized and Troy Lee Designs. Guys, get this one. And it's relatively cheap. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$96.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance Bike shop | | Strengths: | Light and well vented.... looks great and fits nice and snug. I almost dont want 2 take it off. | | Weaknesses: | I have the MateBlack finish.... dont pick this color if your worried about Scratches.... any little thing puts a scratch in it. | | Similar Products Used: | KnuckleBone full face.... (my KnuckleBone was so heavy and non vented)/ Tried the Specialized Deviant on.... but It just didnt feel comfortable on my head.... dispite feeling a tat lighter. | | Bike Setup: | Iron Horse Yakuza Bakuto ('05). (all stock) | | Bottom Line: | Unless you can afford (and get a hold of the Dainese D-Raptor fiber LE), stick with the Giro. In my opinion best bang for the buck out there. I get complments on my lid as well. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$90.00 | | Purchased At: | bike in hike | | Strengths: | fits real well, but the main thing is it works. | | Weaknesses: | mine got dirty lol | | Similar Products Used: | other giro and bell stuff | | Bike Setup: | king fisher2 with a lot of new stuff. | | Bottom Line: | I got in a real bad crash just 2 weeks ago and was in the hospital for 2 weeks broke some bones and it sux. but I hit my head real hard and my head was fine not a damb thing rough with it. I broke my arm and some ribs but I was not weiring armor so thats my falt. the bottom line is the crash could have killed me if the helmet was not that great. granted I have to toss the helmet now and git a new one , but now I can still keep riding.
Ride Hard, Ride fast, Crash less.
