Default New CF lid

Inspired by you know who.......


Very nice lid actually, and JR gives you a real deal helmet bag with it too, not just a big sock with a draw string like I've got before from Arai, Shoei and KBC.

I got it from Bike Bandit. It was the cheapest I could find it. $260 shipped.

Looks good. Is it more of a round or oval fit?

I'm not sure. I'm typically an Arai person if that helps. The helmet is actually manufactured by HJC, so I would imagine that it fits similarly to them as well (I've never owned an HJC and only borrowed one for a quick 15 minute jaunt).

I checked their website and it still lists the RKT101 carbon as $399


Interestingly, Sullivans are advertising what I assume is the next model up, the RKT201 carbon.......and it's not even on Joe Rocket's own site yet.

Kaz is this helmet lighter because of the CF or is it just CF look?

It's basically the same helmet as the HJC FS-15 Carbon (the RKT101 is manufactured by HJC):

http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motor...met/hjc/fs-15/

Helmet Weight

The main benefit of carbon fiber is the weight reduction, and the HJC FS-15 Carbon doesn't disappoint. This size XL weighs in at only 1514 grams (3 lbs., 5-3/8 oz.), which puts it way down at number 16 of the 102 full-face and flip-up helmets we've reviewed as of this date.

The FS-15 Carbon definitely feels light; I could tell as soon as the FedEx guy handed over the box. 1514 grams puts the helmet in some excellent company -- there are only 5 full-face, size XL helmets lighter than the FS-15 out of the 102 we reviewed.

The next lightest full-face helmet in size XL is the "full race" Nolan N94 Casey Stoner Replica at 1499 grams (3 lbs. 4-7/8 oz.), and the next heaviest is the AGV Stealth we reviewed not long ago at 1536 grams (3 lbs. 6-1/4 oz.).

So the carbon fiber really does the job here, although the FS-15 is 47 grams (2 oz.) heavier than the HJC AC-12 Carbon in size XL at 1489 grams (3 lbs. 4-1/2 oz.). The AC-12 Carbon may have sacrificed a bit of carbon fiber and clearcoat though, so if the FS-15 stays healthy, the extra couple of ounces you can't notice won't matter.

What weight there is in the FS-15 Carbon is very nicely balanced, giving me that "where's the helmet" feeling when I'm riding with it that only a super-lightweight helmet can provide. Anyone who thinks weight doesn't matter in a motorcycle helmet should try one of these -- you'll be amazed!




Webbike World's helmet weight's page,

http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcyc...et-weights.htm

It ranks 19th (they added a few more helmets since that review up there I guess). Higher than the Suomy Extreme, AGV Ti-Tech, Arai Corsair/Corsair V and Shoei X-11/X-12 and quite a few other well knowns.
