essex rider Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Best bet is an old style mx helmet with removable chinpiece, i think they are on bvm but not sure?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabie Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 hard to get hold of - almost rocking horse manure i think i saw one mx rider once with one (fourstroke or NGR rider out of the eastern centre IIRC), very hard to get and then hard to get googels to fit might find one if you ask around a twinshock mx froum, like the one at mxtrax.co.uk or the aussie magazine VMX (rumour has it a english one is coming out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrc1 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 A while back I was looking for same, for off road and road use. Got a Bell tourlite open face and added a peak from the moto 6. Good quality hat with removeable lining, but seems not available over here now. Still sold in States, but looks a slightly cheaper version. There are lots of commuter hats from China now, plus a few intended for the Classic road market, but few quality (if any) for Enduro. The answer is to buy a full face and cut the chin bit of. That's what my mate did...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabie Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 The answer is to buy a full face and cut the chin bit of. That's what my mate did...... i've got a feeling that removable chin guards were being phased out, i've got one but you don't see any more coming out (and i've feeling mine was cheap because they're not mean to be selling them ???)

hrc1 Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 The answer is to buy a full face and cut the chin bit off. That's what my mate did...... Thats cut a lump out of the front bit with a saw. He actually wanted a trials hat, but only had an old full face lying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edster191 Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Check out http://www.clubpromoto.co.uk/site/shop.php?sid=54 It shows The Airoh helmet like Knighter used at Hells Gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonsurge Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Check outhttp://www.clubpromoto.co.uk/site/shop.php?sid=54 It shows The Airoh helmet like Knighter used at Hells Gate. Those are trials helmets - I have one myself. Are they approved for enduro use? I've no idea if you're allowed to use trials helmets for speed events... anyone?

j@mes Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 just had another thought im sure it says in the acu handbook you can send them a helmet they will check it and put a sticker on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
