It does look pretty. But graphics and venting aside, the shock absorbing pad doesn't look that different from what's on the market today.
I would buy a Shark helmet in a second if only they fit my head. I like their idea of shock dissipating crumple zones. If Mike Alessi can take a full speed head first digger and come out with just a mild concussion Shark must be doing something right...

For $439.95... I'd rather buy an Airoh Stelt.

Fly is stepping up this year. I really like the new stuff they are coming out with.

Wore one last week, the suede (SP?) lining pieces are hot as fuck, like when you sit on a couch of the same material and your ass sweats...

The Houston area Fly rep had one at the track yesterday. It's a nice looking lid but for $400+, I'd get an Arai or Shoei.

Looks like the rest of the chinese junk on the market today. People are not going to pay that much for a Fly helmet.

Wait 6 months and you will be able to get them for $179!

My rep just brought me one by, I'm impressed and can't wait to get out riding in it.

It has some features that Shoie and arai DON'T have IE Titanium hardware, carbon fiber vents. It weighs in right w/ the competitors. Sik graphics.
