Hi guys, looking for some direction on helmets. What should I look for? What is a good rating for weekend warriors.

Also, let’s see yours…show pics.

A Snell 95 helmet is pretty much legal in most track events including
SOLO1 (except SOLO1 with a Snell 95 will require a rollcage).

You can visit www.SOLOOntario.com for rules/regluations on helmet
requirements. If a helmet is acceptable for SOLO events, it should be
fairly acceptable for most amateur track events.

I wear a Shoei X-11, and a RF900. Snell2000 or M2000. All track legal till next year. :slight_smile: then it’s M2005. :frowning:

Get a lid that breathes well, your head will thank you for it. The lighter, the better, neck may start to hurt.

I have a Shoei RF900

try to get an SA helmet if you can. If you dont care about getting an open face design you can get some SA helmets cheap

I have an HJC I picked up on sale at CycleWorld last spring. Now is a
good time to go before they get their new line in, since they sell off last
years stock pretty cheap.

The way I see it is you can just get an M2000 helmet for ~$150 if you
are starting out… and then later upgrade to a SA2000, or whatever is
required when you get to a level where they require SA approved
equipment.

stupid question. if i take my car to the track for quarter mile do i need a helmet? or is it just for track applications

Well, you’ll at least get one run in before they realise how fast you are.

I think they’ll require you to wear a helmet if you break 12.99 …

We have a whole bunch of lids there that are M2000 that we are hocking off for cheap already. HJC AC10’s, CL12’s, CS14’s, FG12’s…etc.

We seriusoly have over 200 lids in stock under $250 that we are trying to unload fast for the upcoming M2005.

Good to hear, I’ll try make time to stop by on the weekend and take a look.

15

if you can hold off until the sa2005s come out… you can pick up a 2000 for CHEAP.

We’re already hocking off the M2000’s in lieu of the new lids coming in.
