Really neat concept, would like to see other established brands update some of their tech. I'm not digging the design of the air vents, and I worry about impact safety...I've seen helmets fly off with the strap, I'm curious how sturdy this helmet would be in an accident (I'm sure the testing they've done is legit).
As someone in the medical field, I really like the emergency take off feature, wish it didn't need a flathead to do so but it's a step in the right direction.
$888 pricepoint for me is too high for something that doesn't look good, I'd rather have an Arai or AGV.
Thanks for sharing, I will be following this company for future helmets. |

I agree on the price. I think the rear releasing panel lets them get a better fit around your head and they boast a chinstrap-less design which is appealing. I'd be interested in a demo but its outside of my price range at the moment as well. |

I don't see anything in regards to SNELL, DOT, or ECE certification. They'll need 2 out of the 3 of those certs if they want to sell them in the U.S.
Cool helmet, but overpriced IMO. For nearly $900, no bluetooth? |

Just to clarify, the $888 is Australian dollars. At an exchange rate of 0.71 USD to 1 AUD, the price is closer to $600.
Interesting concept. I wonder if it will catch on? |

Better but I still can't get over this air vent styling...looks like I ran into 2 butterflies.

They have AS/NZ, ECE, DOT and JIS. |

Without a chin strap, what keeps the helmet from rotating - especially on impact? |
