I’ve never really trusted the Bolt on Chin guard concept, I can’t see them offering sufficient protection in the same sort of smash that proper full facers are designed for the obvious weak point has always been the connection with the lid and just how the threaded inserts are secured to the upper lid… Will they actually stay in place? when you go down hard and face first?
Can’t really see the point of a pretty expensive helmet with a detachable chin guard for “Rad-Curious” types, you can probably have a decent XC lid (Which lets be honest is all you will need for 95% of the time) and a cheaper but properly constructed full facer that offers better protection for DH days all for about the same cost…
They stopped making it because not enough people wanted to buy it… Says it all really…
Still each to their own…
