Waynio Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 New for 2006, Giro Hex will be available from LBS etc etc in the next couple of months i think it is.[attachmentid=2834]Details:The Hex combines a muscular, progressive style with versatility and integrity you want for trail riding. its a great choice for price concious riders looking for a rugged all mountain helmet with top level features.Sizes: Super fit (Small,Medium,Large)Fit System: Roc Loc® 4Construction: In MouldVentilation: 21 VentsFeatures: POV Adjustable VisorWeight: 310 GramsIm working on getting a picture for people BUT if you want use the link below then click on "cycling" then Hex the price is £40.00 it has taken over the Semi MX. and is virtually a "Xen" but the straps go through the helmet instead of been fitted to the side of the helmet, and the in mould technology is a bit different.Waynio...............................nice new lid with a good price point, and i think will prove very popular with trials riders. i get the reps sample helmet (hopefully before round2 of the brit rounds so people will be able to see it then) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 imo it does look a bit ugly, just looks like a cheap helmet, not of the same ilk as a xen or semi mx. nice to see they've upgraded the strapping system but i think i'll be holding onto my semi for a bit longer.

(no pun intended!)That isn't a pun thats a descriptive statement. You don't hold on to your helmet you wear it.I don't really like the look of this helmet, seems a bit too i dunno, just cheap looking. Mind you if it is cheap and saves your head then its good nough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
