New helmet

#1 Post by Samray » Sun Apr 25, 2010 9:07 am

The concept has been around for a couple of years already, but it seems that helmet maker Reevu has finally put its innovative MSX1 into production. What could possibly be so special about a motorcycle helmet that we're so interested in its availability, you ask? A rearview mirror, that's what.

I like the idea, anything that gives you one more chance of seeing something you might have missed has to be a good thing when you're riding. Dont think it will negate the need for life savers before moving off and I dont think it would encourage people to not bother with the lifesaver.

Pillions might not like it... but im sure overall it's a good thing. I like it. Although I imagine the price is going to be extortionate when it gets to production

Yeah - I thought that the previous ones were a good idea - except for regular pillion carriers.

Great idea in this world of useless mirrors. Wonder if it has the dimmer thing like on a car? Bit of a distraction at night if it doesn't :smt017 And like it has been said, no good with a pillion. Still something I would like to have though(along with built in speakers) :smt020

Could be useful for someone like me, with restricted movement in the neck (damaged vertebrae). However, it would take quite some getting used to, I think - that learning period could be quite hazardous?

Found this amusing little item while following the links from the Youtube video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKAW96N- ... re=related
