Arai do one too about £240 for one. Dont think it was bult in or not. But that one seems a good choice for now.

only one ive heard of like that is the Caberg Justisimmo which i think you have to buy a bluetooth accesory for..

erm.. i would advise you go and see if you can try one on or buy one from a shop.. just to be on the safe side..

I had the caberg justissmo when I had an off and to be honest I was very unimpressed as it split badly from a low speed off, guess you get what you pay for but you only have one head(although the ex wife had 2 faces, LOL) so think carefully

My brother bought one of those :eek:

Then again, hes riding a goldwing.. so providing he finds the right switch he will be able to activate the side airbag..;):laugh1

I bought the cheaper Caberg Trip, and im unimpressed at the quality, already the 'top-sliding' sunvisor system has come off, i have to reach inside and visor and manually pull it down..:shooter

plus the wind noise is terrible.. its next on my list to change.:grin3

thanks for all the replys...

arai only do the half face with bluetooth

nolan i dont really like

.... i know you get what you pay for...

at the end of the day i dont have ££££ to spend

i might just have to get a cheap autocom unit instead, it would have been nice to have a new helmet with all the new features

so the general consensous is no for this helmet then?

i no everyone has a budget in what they spend - but its down to you what you spend your money on - as for a helmet best thing to do is go into a motorbike shop - hine gerick (sorry cant spell) and try them on see what feels the best and you like the most - you can tell them your budget and ask whats best for that price. try the helmets on before u set your heart on it because you may not like it

nobody said it was a bad helmet, looks fine to me... i just mean see if you can locate one in a shop to try on so you get the right size, a XL on a caberg isnt the same as a XL on a HJC (i found that out when i bought the CB and was offered the helmet!):grin2

Ever since I started riding bikes (legally) the one bit of kit I have always spent the most on is a helmet. The simple reason being (a) You only have one head (b) You only get what you pay for! Personally I wouldn’t stick my head in anything other than a “well known” brand.

Even to the point of having numerous court appearances in the 80’s/90’s for wearing a Simpson crash helmet (no UK approval at the time) and arguing with the judge that I value my head, and because of that I brought the most expensive helmet I could. Also Germany safety standards/testing and the TUV process is far more rigorous than any in the UK.

Case dismissed every time….


Why do you want a helmet that enables the use of a phone/intercom? Aren’t there enough distractions on the roads without having a chat while your riding? If it’s that important then pull over/stop and chat in safety…

My 2p worth.

nolan helmets also do one with a bluetooth fitted
