if i could read japanese id tell you :biggrin:
yes there expensive, but i think worth the expense.to bad they gonna be to expensive.TLD's are so overpriced imo
How many have you owned?to bad they gonna be to expensive
I think were expensive too but my TLD SE has been the best equipment I have ever purchased.
Looks like the pants sam hill wore at Val Di Sol
I like that one better than anything they did last year.
next to the Peaty
I own one, and the build quality is absolutely shocking (full stop, I won't even start on the exorbitant prices), the whole thing is put together with a combination of hot glue and adhesive velcro dots. To anyone who doesn't own one that would be funny, but if you do it's reality. I checked out one of the new 661 evo helmets the other day, and the quality of both material and construction methods were light years ahead of the TLD junk (or rather OGK or whatever they rebadge).
However, I will own another because they look sick. That and I guess they fit really well and are fairly light, but those two things alone would barely make up for their build quality so I guess it's just the looks really.
overpriced? you can be so lucky to get it in the states, In europe the normal composite d2 costs 350 euros which are about 560 dollas!(except UK) it is chepaer to order it in the US and ship it over to europe!!
to the helmet, well I don´t realy like it, but let´s see what the other ones gonna look like!

yeah..last years price was 640 dollas
2008 they dropped it for about 80 dollas, but that´s still expensive!
glad that i got a cheap on an airbrushed it...but i hope i can get a second one!
the 661 is great but i don´t know, one part of me says I like it and the other one ain´t!

All that really maters is how good you look in the pits or in a picture, and it goes with Rennin's Mexican wrestling kit form worlds.

Good to hear someone else finally realising this. And being honest with himself about why he's buying it no less!
Haha yeah I thought the same thing. Oh well, maybe the next generation.
Must be the same story for the riders that end up over there.
Touche'!Must be the same story for the riders that end up over there.
On a related note: I really like the graphics on this helmet. I "settled" for a phobia this year, being the best of the worst, but defenitly plan on ordering a new one. Hopefully the others are as cool. And hopefully their clothing follows in close step.
damn that black carbon one is a beauty
that lucha crow too
I guess I´ll get one of those!
Totally with you there, and I'd add that the protection of the helmets themselves is rubbish compared to many far cheaper alternatives.I own one, and the build quality is absolutely shocking (full stop, I won't even start on the exorbitant prices), the whole thing is put together with a combination of hot glue and adhesive velcro dots.

The only thing they have going for them is looks. Sadly, I too will probably end up with another one (or maybe a THE since they're inexplicably far cheaper).
man i havent been a fan of the helmets in the past years but that one is alright, i wish they would calm down with the graphics a bit...
I just got a 661 full carbon form my little bro and it is damn nice for about half the price, im sure the TLD is nicer but what are you really getting here?

those graphics are horrific. Reminds me of that embarrassing Demo 7 tattoo job.
Yea thats bull ****! I have cased jumped with my head and landed straight on my head plenty of times with the TLD carbon helmet and without it i probably would not be able to type this right now!I own one, and the build quality is absolutely shocking (full stop, I won't even start on the exorbitant prices), the whole thing is put together with a combination of hot glue and adhesive velcro dots.

1, and they are worth it...
Oh the irony... I think you just served to prove udi and Socket absolutely right.
Wow. You really do deserve the protection of a D2.
So the TLD History "White" & "Black" on that sight..are they just the two sides of the same helmet? And the sight lists the Crow in black, blue & green...but I don't see a green one?
You mean like the 2009 D3?? They're planing on having a D3 that passes the new safety standard like the Giro Remedy. Not positive, but i believe that standard would be equal to the US moto standard if they didn't have vent holes.
I hear that the plan is composite (only) D2's for $295 MSRP and D3 (carbon olny) for $395 MSRP
Like the Giro, it will probably be larger looking kinda like a MX helmet since the foam is thicker.
I guess we'll wait and see if it makes it for 09, Interbike is the scheduled unveiling.
Krispy
there is already a new helmet? troy lee designs air...
