Not got a budget as such but prob around £40-£80 – pref black with red / red – sleak design without peak to replace old Animas I am using as a road helmet – now falling apart and giving me helmet head spots coz I cant wash the innerds

Pneumo, if they still do it?

Spend a bit more and get a 2D otherwise, best helmet out there!

Pneumo has been replaced by Athlon. I loved my Pneumo, it did a sterling job of stopping my head hit the road.

Giro's just done fit me, they seem to be to small front to back.

I really like the Bells, the Sweep R is my fave

Any thought on the Bell sweep :

Or:

Rudy Project Actium (bit of a bargin!)

Hmm – maybe not 😉

I've got Sweep R

Very comfy/light & well vented
I flattened & cracked the side of the first one I had with a high speed off & replaced it under the 1/2 price crash replacement program
I was very impressed with the amount of damage it took without my head taking any

Ribble got it for £76.50 – Hmmm – then you start looking at the really expensive ones and get carried away 🙂

UKBIKESTORE got a nice new colour:

Met Inferno UL.

I think I like the shape of the Bell Sweep more at the mo but good price for the MET KingTut

Met Strad UL is £68 at ribble at the moment, Inferno UL is £60.

If it fits your head then a Spesh s-works 2D, very light and well ventilated, best in Silence-Lotto scheme IMO…

yeh budget doesn't go that high 😉

Met Stradivarius it is I think – what colour – white or Red – my bike had red, black and white on it 😉

I have the red/silver sweep and can honestly say … its the best helmet ive ever worn , fit is first class … i use 1 off road and 1 on the road ..
I prefer it to either giro and met and ive had both … bell all the way
plus when i bought mine they were only £49 !

Very close between the sweep and Met Stad – the strad won on price! Got the white one in t end and some TLD XC gloves :)he

Or find a nice MTB version and take the peak off for road riding. A lot of the (xc) mtb helmets are just the road ones with a peak.
