Anyone have any info on fit and quality of them. Thinking of grabbing one for a back up helmet.

I’m wondering the same thing! The helium looks a lot like and Airoh. I can’t wait for the 21 fxr gear

To be honest, I think they are good helmets for the price. But they are obviously not nearly as good as the 6D collab. It’s your head, protect it with the best possible helmet you can get.

You going to jump ship again ?

Is there a gear brand that you haven’t worn yet ? Lol

I can only speak for the 6D/ FXR model, but I’ve only ridden with it twice. But I really like it, very large goggle port and you can hear really well with it on.
I have been wearing Bell for 15 years and I love my Moto-9 Carbon and the Moto-9 Carbon FLEX helmets. I only bought the FXR because I destroyed a couple of the Bells, hitting my head on the ground and the new Bell helmets are just kinda ugly. Hoping that the new colorways are better next year !
In the meantime, the 6D/FXR feels great, although it is noticeably bigger around than the Bell is.

2021 is all FXR for me!
Hmm I honestly can’t think of a brand I haven’t worn! But I’m going back to FXR because the quality of the gear is the best I’ve worn

I completely agree 100% but I always like to have a spare helmet just incase until I pick my new helmet. My old spare just got wrecked and he's throwing me a 100.00 for it so i figured I'd toss another 100-150 into it and get a good midrange helmet. Was also looking at the leatt 4.5 and 5.5 looks like a solid helmet.

I know all the snowmobile guys wore the FXR helmets for years. So I would imagine that are a great midrange helmet. PM me if you have any questions. I can get some answers for you

I've use the Helium helmet for a while in enduro. Really light, by far the lightest helmet I've ever used. Fit is spot on, order your usual size which for me is a medium. Ventilation is great, large eye port. Plush liner.

The FXR carbon helmets are great. Light, affordable, look good. ECE. I have FXR rider support, if I was not running an Airoh I’d be running the FXR.

I for sure can't think of a brand you haven't worn, even back ten years ago!
