Crosshelmet X1 - your thoughts?

#1 Post by Ben » Thu Mar 26, 2020 9:21 am

OK so it's slightly unconventional-looking but this helmet features a head-up display and a built-in rear view camera, among other gadgets.

What do you reckon?

Its very ugly and what a price, they'll spot the mugs coming. BTW who would want a camera buried in their head if it hit the ground backwards?
I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"

Bit uglier than the Revu helmet that had similar features....
That one also never flew
Cleverly disguised as an adult !

My thoughts about this helmet.
Pros
It looks futuristic.
Cons
Too Expensive.
Not so reliable in case of a crash.

I would rather go with a 300$ helmet which is reliable and does not give me a heart attack due to high price.

It's a bit different, nothing wrong with that. I kinda like the 'space-helmet' feel to it.

I'd be concerned that it would be noisy though - the base is not on a 'plane' and that cutout could cause noisy turbulence, as will the bulky visor side-pods. (I've run Arai's the past 20 years... I know whereof I speak ;) ).

It does look like it wouldn't be 'deep' enough too.

I reckon I saw this elsewhere and it's 1.78kg, that's bullshit heavy
