I’m in the market for a new lid and am pretty much decided on the above as it looks like a solid choice for the money. Anyone got any feed back on what their like in use, good venting? Nice and stable? The peak does look a bit long, bit worried it might cause the lid to tip forward a bit in the rough….Thanks all

I have one on order, along with a Giant Rail. Think they will arrive tomorrow and I’ll wear them both around the house before deciding which to keep. Have been persevering with a new Montaro and have so far killed 4 sets of pads. I have 2 more sets and and then am taking helmet and all the knackered pads to Evans for a refund.

will post up again once I have had a poke around it ! On paper the Giant Rail gets better reviews…

Well the 2 lids turned up today. Chronicle is nicely finished and comfy, however for me it is too deep and fouls the legs of my prescription specs around my ears. I also think the peak is rather long. So for me, the Giant Rail is better – lighter, better fit. The Giant doesn’t have MIPS though there is one available.

Well, I’ve done the same as you, ordered a Chronicle and also a Spesh Ambush as they look good too. I will give em both a try and see which is best for my noggin. I tried a Bell Super 3 on in my lbs the other day and the fit was dreadful,lots of pressure points and kinda felt like it was perched on my head even though it wasn’t!!

I like the ambush, but the off centre vents aren’t ideal for mounting a helmet light, so I decided against it. Was a good comfy fit though and a good deal at my LBS..

Lol the peak is a tiny lightweight piece of plastic, it’s not going to unbalance the helmet on your head!

Yeah, but it looks pretty daft…

had my Chronicle MIPS for months – great helmet and plays nice with my Hope helmet mounted light

Helmets arrived. Both are really nice, but I’m going to keep the chronicle as it fits a bit better, has MIPS for what it’s worth, and has a better crash replacement scheme. I got the Matt grey one and it’s a really nice looking lid. The peak is quite long, but is in a good place in the mid position and plays well with goggles. The Ambush is a good lid too, insanely light and airy and the peak is the best I’ve tried, very precise adjustment. It was a tough call, but the Ambush was slightly less comfortable. Cheers for the input guys.
