For 20 notes worth a punt? Anyone got either, good or bad points?
Ta.
I couldn't find one at £20... They were all £40.
Ignore me... Found them at £20!
Anyone got either, good or bad points?
Colour scheme 😯
The white and orange one looks very similar to a fox flux!
Very pleased with my Planet-X road lid, so if they're the same maker - very good quality / construction.
What's the wing on the back for though, downforce?

Well yes that is a bit marmite on the xc lid I guess 🙂

Knargduro flap to help shred..
Do the large ones come up large? A have a huge noggin and the large Flux is just about the only kid I can find that fits. If these size up similarly it may be worth taking a punt
Liked the last version but they didn't have replacement pads so was binned.
Yes the large fits my odd noggin well, now have a xl Bell Stoker (similar fitting).
The extra protection around the back of the head looks interesting, given the state of my old Met Testagrossa after my Xmas 2013 RTA, which was replaced with a Bell model.
But like some other posters, my large elliptical head can make finding good fitting helmets problematic.
I think if the xc helmet was the same colour as the enduro one I'd take a punt. Think me nut would overheat in the enduro one with the less vents.
hmmm could do with a new lid
confused as the Flux is 100g heavier than the claimed weight for the O-O XC one
extra confused as the fox flux is an 'enduro' helmet
They look great for the money, shame I've only just bought a new Helmet else I'd be all over one of these.
I just bought one for SWMBO, seemed great for the price!
If I didn't buy a better than half price POC Trabec Race last month I would be buying the Endruo, great looking helmets.
Cheers, Steve
Well I ordered the Xc one, hopefully it'll fit
What's the wing on the back for though, downforce?
air brake for when you are going backwards like those flaps on nascars
Are they still on at £20??
Nope.
Yeah I gave it a miss in the end lol.
one_happy_hippy - MemberNope.
It's On One, don't worry there's another sale's on the way.
Just wait and they will be back to £20 soon.
My enduro style one arrived today. It doesn't fit narrow heads, very mushroom like. Shame, as I actually quite like the look of it and the insect mesh would have been useful.
What size bubs ? May be interested
XC one arrived today, nice looking helmet, seems very light to me, reminds me a bit of my old (2010ish) 661 Recon but lighter.

I'm not keen on the padding, I don't like the feel.

adjuster works well but not sure how well it will hold up.

God knows about the wing or how long it will last, I have the feeling it will break off in storage...

I don't know about the AM one but I am quite glad I didn't get one for myself as it just didn't feel right on my head or in my hands, this is the smaller one so on the limit for my swede size. It's ok for a £20 helmet but I wouldn't have paid the full price for one.
Cheers, Steve
Good write up cheers.
The Enduro one arrived today.
Quite a big shell, but I've got a small noggin so doesn't take much. Fits well with the adjuster and as good as the Catlike i was using. More coverage on the back of the head but might be the wrong time of year as it doesn't seem quite as well vented.
Out the box the chin strap is in the wrong place so takes a bit of fiddling to get it less stangulating. But at the same time, it is a light, good coverage lid for £20 and can't really argue with that. Might have been a £35 to £40 lid but as previously mentioned I would not have paid, and doubt it worth, £50 MRP.
The quoted weights on the site are actual weights, tolerance was within a few % for those I measured.
The large XC I ordered has just arrived, and doesn't fit (my head must be massive front to back)
It's a shame as it's nice and light and looks well vented
Anybody interested before I send it back?
My small XC's arrived. Seems to fit well - I'm one of these people who's bonce seems to be right inbetween helmet sizes, which usually means I'm either the pinhead in a small or the mushroomhead in a large. Tweaked the pads a little but only had a brief try-on in the office so far (looked too much of a divvy wearing a helmet at my desk so took it off). Not had the strap issues a couple of people have mentioned, but everything seems well built and easily adjustable, so for £20 I'm pretty happy with it.
My large ? 58-62 xc one is too small, anyone interested ?
