Default New Helmet Bitches!!!

Here's some pics of my new Akuma helmet along with my HJC AC12 Carbon for comparison. Note: I installed blue LEDs in my HJC for fun last summer.

So you like the Akuma better then the HJC carbon fiber? I've had the HJC carbon fiber helmet for about 2 years now. I absolutly love it. I just got an Arai Hayes replica and that's amazing. They both vent great and are super light.

I picked up an Akuma at a local dealership and was shocked at how heavy it was in comparison.

Pick up a Suomy... those are some of the lightest out there.
