davesbmw Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 After some neck problems I have been looking at lightweight helmets and found the BMW intragal sport carbon. I know you cannot purchase it in the USA and thought someone here might have a european source for them. Yes,I know they are not cheap. Thanks Dave Link to comment
EffBee Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Dave, also take a look at the HJC Carbon Fiber helmets. They're around $450, and available in the U.S. Link to comment
jviss Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 BMW Carbon: 1000 grams; HJC Carbon: 1514 grams. Link to comment
John Bentall Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 The Sport Integral Carbon has been out of production for a while. The 2010 and 2011 Rider Equipment Catalogs list the Carbon Enduro helmet. Weights are 1,100g for sizes 53/54 & 55/56, 1,210g for sizes 57/58 & 59/60 and 1,300g for sizes 61/62 & 63/64.

Steiney Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I just saw an ad in the BMW Owners News for a Vemar carbon fiber helmet. Not sure on the weight but might be worth a Google search... Link to comment
Peter Parts Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Two thoughts: 1. easy to get inept advice about physio problems - doing stretches seriously might be helpful (and for everybody) 2. easy to have lousy ergos on a bike - sitting better/straighter might be your easiest fix particularly if your arms aren't chimp length The weight of a helmet is only a fraction of the weight of your head (and not all at the top) so it doesn't seem cogent to me, looking at a distance, to fuss about a small difference in weight between helmets.

davesbmw Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Just recieved my Bell M4R carbon Indy helmet from the UK designerhelmets. It only took 5 days from order to arrive here in Colorado. These guys are great. It is so light I will have to tie it down when not in use are have it blow away. Now all I need is warm weather without snow. Merry Christmas to all Dave Link to comment
