I am using smk twister s(small size 550mm i guess) didn't find the size on any other brand locally. Smk is available in size xs also.

Re: Helmets

Hi Guys,

Needed some help on SMK helmets related to size information. My head is size L 59 cms and I had ordered a SMK twister helmet from amazon of size L.
But the problem is it seems to be tight for me especially the cheeks are getting pressed too much and removing the helmet feels like my ears are gonna tear off.

Please suggest that if this normal in SMK brand as the same L size in MT was quite good for me.
Should I go ahead and order the XL size?
But i feel it might too loose for me as the size chart says size XL is for 61 cm head size. I am confused now

If anyone using the same brand or has any insight on this then it would be of great help.

Thank you

There are no helmets with a small shell size in that price.
As mentioned above, you can get a small size fit, but the shell size remains the same.

I am using smk twister s(small size 550mm i guess) didn't find the size on any other brand locally. Smk is available in size xs also.

I assume he asked about small shell size and not small fitment size.

Mine was ultra tight like this initially, i can even speak but it gets comfortable with usage. I use size s.

Re: Helmets

He asked about smaller 'shell' size and not a smaller head size fit. That is the thing, no helmets have good shell size differentiation in that price.

MEP, that's exactly the reason I opened up the gamut to him. Just so he is all the more informed and makes an informed choice. Tons of lids out there, each with different shell types (moulds) and sizes. So, this should just help him in the process.

Cheers!

The head shape of SMK and MT are different, it seems the SMK you ordered is intermediate oval shaped.

The cons of this size are that the cheeks will pain for a few days. But the benefit is that the helmet paddings doesn't go lose very soon.

But always remember to buy the correct head shape, in my opinion.

In short I'd suggest you XL. As Inderjeet and MEP said, it's super snug and depending on the shell design it can have pressure points. These lids almost choke you from the cheek inside (gives you that Marc and Jorge feel ) but if you have some cheek flesh like I do, then it's a little tight fit in there until it beds in. Mine took a good 2 months just to make sure I remove it easily, but it still compresses my cheeks and chewing on a bubblegum is a nightmare. Oh my! And your hair that's a mess each time.

Cheers!

Ya I missed out on the hair part totally.. I am sure everytime I remove the helmet, hair is gonaa get broken or pulled apart and become messy.

Putting on is ok but removing is a heavy task.
Will put for replacement with the XL size.

Thank you for all your inputs 👍👍

Re: Helmets

How safe is the Studds Ninja 3g for city commute and 50-100km rides?

Re: Helmets

This is Axor carbon helmet

You see those Matt silver plastic vents and deflector on top. They have sharply designed.

That color was chipping out from the corners as i get out of the shop and ride merely 15kms

Update.

Detailed pics are as below.


See these plastic vent parts and how they lose colour.






Inside is pathetic. Huge cuts and open spaces.



See this plastic part at ear pocket location. Not a good idea and it hurts if you're on long run and that part is touching your ears.



Easily get scratched.



Visor getting damaged due to rubber gasket.

Verdict -
You're paying 11000 for such pathetic carbon crap for no reason.

Re: Helmets

Hi all I recently joined this app, I am looking for a helmet in range of under 4000 with all possible features.

4000 is my maximum budget now.

Re: Helmets

I ordered the XL sized smk helmet and tried it out yesterday. There is too much wind noise. I don't know the exact word but I think it's called wind buffeting. As if there is a thundercloud on top of your head.

And its there from 40 km per hour speed itself. Is this really how this is or am I missing something ☹️

I am riding with all vents closed. Could that be an issue??
