Does this exist anywhere?

I'm looking for a list of helmets, which includes their weight.

I'm having difficulty finding them listed anywhere - including
manufacturer's own sites.

For those that want a reason: I have arthritis in my neck and a
lighter helmet helps. Present one is 1250g. I'm not sure I fancy an
open face on the K-RS, besides which the design of most of them, these
days, is 'orrible and bulky.

 

1250g is pretty good, & to get much lighter than that I think you'll
have to go carbon, which should narrow down the choices substantially.
The BMW carbon lid was the lightest you could buy a few years ago. I
stumbled across a helmet review site recently that included the
weights, but can't remember what it was. A US magazine I think.

 

X-Spirit? I think they are one of the lightest. Sometime ago ISTR
someone posting a table of helmet info[1] but I CBA to google.

[1] Could be the Alzheimers kicking in tho'.

 

Bad form, but this was the site:

Even morer badder form:

..htm

 

Ta.

 

Ta... again.

 

More bad form...

They have the weight of the Nitro 1200 wrong - unless they're heavier
outside the UK.

 

I think they use a different test over the pond, which does a puncture
test somewhere the EU one doesn't. So the helmets are stronger in that
place, & therefore heavier. Still valid for comparisons though.

 

Schuberth S1 Carbon comes in at 1290g and costs £800!

See no 10 here:

"and a spoiler to help reduce neck fatigue at speed"
I wonder how fast you have to go before it generates enough lift to rip
your head off...

 

My Shoei XR1000 (size medium) has a little sticker on it that says
1350g. If that's any use.

 

A great article! Why didn't they just test a few helmets with an SPL meter?

 

Did you read the top bit - the data were extracted from a survey of 12,000
people reporting about their "kit". If you look at other articles they rate
"best helmet under £100" and other sub-categories.

 

I saw that, and I suggest that the survey results tell us absolutely nothing
about the noise levels of various helmets. If you've changed helmets recently
and can say that one was quieter that the other then your opinion along with
11,999 others would give some valid results. But a survey question asking you
to rate your helmet from pp to ff is worse than useless.
Does anyone know what the MCN survey actually asked?

 

It would've been the Rider Power survey which you can view at
http://www.riderpower.co.uk/
If you want to know what questions they ask you will have to register &
work your way through the survey.

With any survey of this nature it is measuring perception. Often this is
more useful to people than something done in a laboratory.

 

I'd be amazed if you find anything lighter than 1250g

AFAIK US models are different from EU ones, at least for the Nitro
models I work with.

 

What are you? The fluffer?

You can polish your own helmet. I put things in boxes.

 

Bell have a new range including some very light carbon models.
