Rhok hellmuts

Postby vanrootn » Wed Oct 24, 2012 10:58 pm

Sooo, I need a new helmet.

Wondering if anyone owns or has tried on Rhok carbon fibre helmets?

They are relatively cheap and look nice. Is the fit comparable to say an arai or shoei?

Any where in Adelaide I could try one on?

Otherwise I will just have to go another arai:smile:

Thanks jonno but although my head looks huge, I only have a medium size helmet (arai)

I have tried on a few shark helmets and they seem to put a lot of pressure on my forehead?

I've tried posting on the Rhok facebook page, it won't work? I'll send an email :smile:

They are great lids - very light and comfortable, I will be picking up a new one shortly. Marinko is a great bloke to deal with.

Yeah, he replied quickly to my email - no way to try them on in old radelaide... He suggested I try on an hjc as the fit is very close.

I will give that a bash and see how it goes!

A mate I went for a ride with on the weekend had one and liked it. They're very light, but then, so is the carbon RJ's helmet that Wattie has. I heard that there are only a few helmet manufacturers and that most brands are just relabelled helmets from one of the two companies that make the majority of them, so the RJ's and Rhok could even be the same lid. Apparently Arai and Shoe are the only companies that still make their own helmets.

Probably too late now mate as you have already bought a helmet, but this is where i got my Suomy Vanadal from in Melbourne (link) http://www.motodeluxe.com.au/index.php? ... 90vb9up7l5
still like my Bell more, but Suomy is a good brand and the paintwork is awesome, i have the Gold Tattoo Vandal.
