New lid, will it pass tech?

[Uncle Snake]

I got a pretty good deal on this and wondered if it would pass tech for ALL of the track days held @ Loudon and Penguin School. It's a Soumy Vandal, manufacture date is Dec. 2009 and these were in the spec's. Thanks for any help.

It is DOT, but not Snell M2000, K2000, or SA2005 approved. I'm thinking no for Penguin. I believe they require Snell approval for all helmets.

Thanks! I've still got my RX7 for Penguin next year. I got this Suomy for $120. shipped so I thought I'd give it a try on my huge mellon. It actually fits a hair(get it?? ) better than my RX7 and a few better than my Quantum II.

Is that a real DOT sticker?

LRRS Does Take BCI and the EECC (euro standard as well) Shark helmets are not snell either

It meets the ECE 22.05 and BSI Gold safety standards (BSI 6658 Type A).

It's fine for LRRS

The helmet must meet DOT plus Snell M2005 and
M2010(USA) approval or the British Blue Label standard BSI 6658 Type A
helmet standard or the European ECE22-04 & ECE22-05 P standard.

However with that said, the 2011 rulebook is not out yet and there was talk at a recent rider's meeting that the helmet rules WILL be changing.

According to the Suomy site, it's DOT, ECE 22-05 and BSI 6658:1985A certified, so according to the rule Pete posted, it's definitely fine.

I wondered as well but I got it from http://www.303cycle.com/ thru the WERA board so I assume it is....

From the rumblings Ive heard, I wouldnt buy a helmet until the rules are out.

Sounds like a great deal.
As long as it fits you well, great buy.
