Apple glasses coming out soon, supposedly they will use hand gestures to perform functions. EUCs are basically hands free so I expect quick adoption in the EUC community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the battery pack mount to the helmet doesn't look safe. In crash it can turn onto your face or break the frontal helmet structure. It would be better to mount all extra components to the removable visor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Interesting ideas on this helmet, and I agree with attaching the parts to the back, not the front. As you say, you can't leave parts on your face in the event of an impact. It is possible to use the sides on the outside. Miniature optical and audio equipment is the future of the video accessory. When high technology today integrates a system into the wall of a motorcycle helmet, I prefer it outside not inside, even at low speed for the ride.

EUC Forest Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 The IXS Trigger FF takes Aeropex bone conduction headphones without mods, much better sound than mc headsets and you stay aware of your surroundings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I find this full face helmet very valid for the summer. I am late discovering this very light 2019 model, a single efficient shell. I use the Aeropex that this helmet can receive, good communication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the pic the Aftershocks look like they are not over the ear as worn usually? That still works through the padding? Also you seem to have them connected to a battery, which I understand because the Aftershocks are quite voracious energy wise...but that's one more cable to manage. Is bone conduction device, works very well over any hard surface, sound is loud and clear, its not connected to an external battery, is just charging. What I most like, is that Aftershokz could be carried on any of my two helmets, my TGS Pass or my Troy lee design, without further difficulty or any changes Edited June 21, 2021 by Mauricio gramar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex-l Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 The helmet that I ordered (leatt dbx 4.0) didn't fit. So now I am looking for another one because they don't have my size on sale. I don't have much time, my ks s18 arrives on Thursday. Any recommendation for another light and breathable helmet under $200? I'm moving to Florida in December so sthg that I will be able to wear in hot temperatures is a necessity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend the extra change and get a tsg pass. It's 100% worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is WAY too hot for summer. Combine that with some off-road riding (S18 after all), and you'll just end up dying from heat while also looking like a douchebag. Kali Invader, Bell Super Air R are good choices for hot places. Kali is probably the best ventilated full face at around $200. I have one and I can confirm the thing is built extremely solid. Fit-wise it's one of few full face helmets that use the ratchet dial which means custom fit. A bit light on the padding though, so may need to add some extra pieces in specific locations if your head is sensitive to that (it comes with extra sets).

Alex-l Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Thank you @conecones, yeah I don't think that the TSG pass is the best in my case since good ventilation is top priority! Do you think that the Kali Zoka would be too hot? It's less expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oofty that's a bit harsh mate! hahah I kinda like how the Pass looks! Gives you the visor without the bulkiness of a full Moto helmet. But I totally agree though... I got my pass purely for a winter helmet. It'll be too hot for summer. You can have the visor up during summer but kinda defeats the purpose of the helmet. I've had the Fox Pro Frame from day one and it's been stellar for warm weather. It's got vents coming out of it's wahzoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that the Kali Zoka would be too hot? It's less expensive. The Zoka just looks like a standard budget DH helmet - so it's going to be hot. IMO the Kali Invader is the best value if you really want the ventilation. All the other well-ventilated full face helmets are even more expensive (Bell R series, Fox Proframe, TLD Stage, 100% Trajecta). Although these are DH rated and Kali Invader isn't, I can tell you this is because of the penetration requirement (too many vents), not because of strength. For example the chin bar on the Invader is actually more solid than the Proframe that I tried out in the shop. 19 hours ago, Kamikaze_K said: Oofty that's a bit harsh mate! hahah I kinda like how the Pass looks!

Same for me - its a winter/cold weather commuter helmet only. The problem is every time I wear it though, I look in the mirror and think I'm the baddest mf'er on the block and then end up riding like a douchebag because of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex-l Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I ended up buying a Bell super 3r mips as that was one of the only options that I could get on Amazon in 2 days. I didn't want to ride my new s18 without a full face and it seems like this one is light and airy enough that I will be able to wear it all the time even in hot, humid Florida weather.

EUCandME Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Hey Guys! What do you think of this helmet for sub 25mph commutes? This particular helmet has something called "MIPS" Is it worth it or do you think it is just marketing bs? Also, do you have any recommendations for a commuting helmet? I want something lightweight, discrete (I don't look like an alien or like I'm going off-roading) and ideally something with lights so i can see better in the dark. Thanks!

EUCandME Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 1 minute ago, /Dev/Null said: I think the description saId overlean....requesting more power than the wheel can provide. THere are entire threads on avoiding overlean, but TLDR: - No sudden hard acceleration at high speeds - Don't ride the wheel to it's limit (exceeding that limit is overlean) - Make sure you have enough "reserve power" if you hit a bump - Reduce your speed at low battery I've been riding for 3 years and never experienced it (knock on wood). My wheels are rated for 40km/h (V10) and roughly 60km/h (Nik+). I ride the V10 with a tiltback at 32km/h and don't go under ~ 40% battery. I ride the Nik+ at tiltback of about 42km/h and typically ride 35-40km/h and keep the battery above 30%. No sudden acceleration near my top speeds either. THis is the helmet thread so probably better discussed in detail in another thread. My bad I was watching the vid in preview so didn’t even think about reading the description. I had an idea it was cutout of some kind. Thanks for your response! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
