anyone know anything about them? i need a new helmet and no i cant afford a $800 helmet. I was looking at getting a KBC when i stumbled on Nitro. I have read several online reviews with good ratings. one site even gave one model helmet of the year for 2005. the one im looking at is a Nitro 1200VX. MSRP is $400 but i found a place online for $180 + free shipping. heres a picture

:::EDIT::: also everyone is making a big deal about them being very light (1250g)

 

They look like a copy of the OGK lids. Probably loud as fvck too.

What are the requirements there? BSI, right?

 

EC 20-05 and ACU gold


i thought that perhaps a $400 helmet wouldn't be a ripoff but im not 100% sure

 

the liner is made out of coolmax

 

My friend has a helmet that looks exactly like that, same color scheme and all, but I dont recall it being a Nitro. N e hoo, he loves it and for some odd reason said it was better than his Arai. I personally call bullshit cuz Arai is saweet, but he's kinda strange. LoL

 

Dean Thomas and Steve Plater replica helmets in so many colours; so much choice; so just choose yours..

i found their web site,

according to the reviews, the helmet is one of the lightest on the market, made in chine and has suffered from many recalls for failures (i dont know what that means) all in all i dont think ill be getting it...

 

My friend bought one...looked kinda cheap to me.

Ohh. No thanks then. I don't need any more lead in my paint.

 

HJC and Scorpion are very good choices, a close friend bought a Scorpion and he LOVES it.

 

my bro got that nitro helmet, its actually pretty nice for the price

 

i've been very satisfied with my hjc ac-12 carbon if your looking at spending 350 I'd recommend that, its light as h*ll

Ouch. Someone paid too much.

 

I have a Nitro helmet, I am pretty happy with it. Ventilates well but can be noisy.
