AFX FX 39 DS Dualsport Helmet Review at RevZilla.com

this looks like the varient would i look dumb with this on a cbr?

[RevZillaTV]

@tbonelittlet This is a great option for city riding. We sell a lot of DS helmets to sportbike riders!

Any word on how well this helmet does with prescription glasses underneath?

[RevZillaTV]

@CounterProdClan The padding inside is pretty plush so it depends on the thickness of the frames. Thick frames might not be too comfortable but we definitely have customers riding this helmet with glasses.

[CounterProdClan]

@RevZillaTV Cool, I'll give it a shot. Thanks a lot, appreciate the fast response.

Is this helmet essentially the same as the Fly Trekker DS? Any differences other than colours? If so, which one is the better helmet?

[GLDavee]

@kevipew They're basically the same helmet The Fly has conventional "D" rings on the chin strap, and the sizing is more accurate with the Fly. There's a great post at advrider(dot)com that will answer any questions you might have. For the price, it's a great lid !

[RevZillaTV]

@kevipew It seems that the shell is made by the same manufacturer, so there are a lot of similarities, however, the helmets are finished differently; so comfort, size, fitment and other factors will distinguish the two from each other. We haven't really seen one clearly pull ahead of the other as of yet...

@kevipew Will the tinted shield fit the Fly Trekker helmet they look the same and I cant find one for the trekker.

I've had this helmet for a few months now and love it ! The amount of air that moves through the helmet is great for riding in hot conditions , it's a bit noisy on the freeway but other than that I can't find anything wrong with it . I've got a dark smoke visor on a white helmet and I get compliments from other riders all the time ( looks great and dose everything as good or better than a high end ds helmet ) I've also used the Joe rocket ds and the ari , I like this one much better

BE ADVISED: Some people (such as myself) have to order 1 size larger for proper fit. This helmet runs a bit small.

Does revzilla carry tinted visors for this helmet?
