Cheap Helmet for those who wanna go track!

[Boyboy]

I just bought a helmet for my gf as I plan to bring her to the PG track soon.

 

Basically, one just needs a helmet to comply with track regulations, so I believe most will look at cost only.

 

Along Jln Wong Ah Fook (beside City Square) there is a motorcycle accessory shop (further down from city square) where I bought a helmet for RM30. Complies to Malaysian PSB (ok it's not PSB but their equivalent) standards, if it matters...

 

Compared to the helmet i bought in SG, $18 which i thought was pretty cheap already

 

However, I must say that the bought-in-malaysia helmet has less durable lining.. but just a heads up for those interested.

yea helmet is to comply only

 

anyway u drive ur getz to track?

[Boyboy]

once so far..

 

small cc engine with souped up handling = good training platform

[Zyrofillica]

full face??? or those no chin one?

[Boyboy]

no chin, no visor la.. basically look like egghead Rm30 only leh

[Friendstar]

girls wear full face will be funny

[Elfenstar]

why? i think its pretty cool.

[Chromas]

My full face is very HOT... sweat inside while waiting for my turn on track...

Eh bro!! You different leh... for non-pro an open face is fine. For you.. its full face all the way... dont forget the fire proof head dress too!

Regarding full helmet...pardon my ignorance but what about those who wear glasses? Never came to my mind until now.

Hmmmm, maybe I should Sepang next time with my full gear, huh?

I've seen some people who wear glasses with their full face too. Just get those glasses with super thin / flat legs

[Zaizai]

Whats the cheapest full face now?

[Boyboy]

haha.. i wouldn't know. but i see mid-range non full-face helmets going for 70 and up.. so u can make the estimate.

 

u biking? if not why u need full-face helmet? potentially higher chance of breaking ur neck from what i read. this i read wrt cycling (yes there are full-face lids for cyclists) and even motorbiking. for driving, due to the extra weight, might be more likely to kena whiplash also

[Brock]

Thank for the info. Wonder how much does a full face one costs. Any idea where to go and get one?

[Chromas]

Depends on the quality you need.

 

A full face normal one can cost between $60 to $120

 

Those fully certified ones can cost as much as $500 to $1,000.

 

The full face helmet you see me wearing in my avatar was around $700. It's an Arai GP-5

[Otsego]

how much is those motoGP riders type of helmet ar?

Hi, anyone could recommend a value-for-money open face helmet for track use? just want something comfortable. budget is less than $100.

 

I have a full-face motorcycle helmet lying at home, but don't think it is suitable for car use.
