-crz- Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I've always had two helmets to choose from depending on weather and riding style; Modular & motocross style. I have a CKX Tranz modular helmet that I am very happy with, and just got rid of a 509 helmet/goggle combo and picked up a CKX Titan to try out this year. The 509 just never really fit me properly, too much air flow, etc. although I find a Klim Arctic balaclava helps with that on cold days. We'll see what the Titan has to offer. My opinion on helmets is it is a trial and error, what works for some, doesn't for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunz Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I’ve tried almost every helmet the past few years and have finally found the two I like and work good for me. The BVS2 is a great cold weather helmet and my Bell MX 9 dual sport on the other days. I like the option of wearing goggles at times when it’s milder out.

johnsazzr Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I had the BVS2 ....used it for a weekend...played with the all the adjustments but could not get it to seal on my face properly just sold it ...luckily I got it 30% off last march ...My Gmax broke last March....snapped at hinge when closing it....Gmax gave me a credit at local dealer which I used to buy an MT Duo hybrid helmet for my ATV...super comfy and does have a heated shield so might try it on the sled....not modular, though, so will be looking for deals at Sledorama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhz06 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I like my Airoh and better half prefers her 509. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuyuna Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I wear eyeglasses and of course fogging is a major consideration. Tried lots of helmets over the years, including the BVS modular. Nothing works as well as GMax for good airflow and ventilation, yet still warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylaker Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Gmax 64 & fxr modulars for us. I do have a fxr my style & goggles, but I don’t wear it anymore...let’s in too many drafts. Full face flip ups from here on out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledneck96 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I use a CKX Tranz 1.5 modular helmet 99% of the time. It's warm and only needs to be plugged in when it's -20C or colder. It just simply works. I've tried for two seasons to get my Titan helmet to work but have pretty much given up on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomo Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 If you become a Sikh, you might not need a new helmet: Ontario will soon allow turban-wearing Sikhs to ride motorcycles without helmets, joining three other provinces in providing the exemption. The Progressive Conservative government said Wednesday that the exemption — which goes into effect Oct. 18 — will recognize Sikh motorcycle riders’ civil rights and religious expression. https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/canada-news-pmn/ontario-government-to-allow-sikhs-to-ride-motorcycles-without-helmets Might be kind of cold though.

Cuyuna Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I'm thinking that any exemption from wearing a helmet should also be an exemption from OHIP coverage for head injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if motorcycle insurance policies could have a similar exemption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infernobuster Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Last few years ive been riding with a GMax helmet. First couple years i had the electric shield on, but last year i started wearing goggles with it. This year im switching over to the Titan, and giving that a go.

GeorgianBayGuy Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Sort of out of the box answer. As a motorcyclist too, and survivor of a bad accident in my 20’s I’m a bit nuts about helmets having bought a Shoei Neotech 11 this year. First I love modular helmets, they are just so good to use, comfortable, and easy. Second I will never buy any helmet with out a ratchet strap system, it is just one of those great inventions. 3rd incorporation of a com system. Biking has taught me that communication is key and is a huge time saver. Getting a helmet that incorporates this function is a good consideration. 4. Hearing protection. Some helmets whistle in the wind and amplify the engine noise. I always wear ear protection (custom). I will use my Schuberth C3 this winter with a SENA 10u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
