Airoh helmets

[CDOG1974]

thinking of buying one prefered is the GP500 has anyone wore one or have one? what are your thoughts

[Degsy]

are they even available in the US? Are they DOT approved? Never heard of them.

[CDOG1974]

no they are not available in US but three or four riders in MOTOGP wear them so i would say yes to dot approved

[Degsy]

good doesnt equal DOT approved. In fact a helmet can be pretty crappy and be DOT approved. Chances are they dont have DOT approval yet. I see they are gauging interest through a facebook campaign.

Im sure the testing for DOT approval is expensive and they want to see what their market will be like before taking the plunge.

I have one. Rode with it for about 4 years. I didn't get to test it. This one was very light and comfy. Seems that some of the mechanical parts lost their tight precise feel after a couple years of wearing it everyday, but never failed.

getting visors can be a pain from Europe and no one carries them to try them on.

They are not DOT or Snell rated. I think ECE approval of some sort. I'll dbl check tonight.
