Any opinions? 2lbs, $80 retail. I'll only be using it a few times a year...
Thanks, Brad

I have one and love it, one of the lightest helmets I've come accross. Thankfully I haven't had a big crash to test its worth, but I've had plenty of smaller crashes and had no problems. Another thing that's good is visibility, and it has decent ventilation... so the 3 main gripes about fullfaces, it doesn't have issues with. Great helmet IMO, but I'll see what others think first, to see what crash damage has been done to them and the results of said crashes.
I have an 02 or 03...it had ugly flakes in the paint so im in the process of custom painting it, other then the paint I haven't had any problems
I used to use one...it was alright...comfy. As far as the crash test, yeah, it works. I tore a piece out of the top of the helmet in a bad crash.
Fits a little narrow for my blockhead. I've seen them for $39 in some magazine ads. Good cheap helmet.
had the chrome one for 4 seasons and it held up like champ. Retired it for a Giro Mad Max and I would have to say, although they are similarly priced, I would call the Mad Max a big upgrade and it has much better protection for the same if not less weight.
I've got a bell bellistic XG I picked up from Jenson several months ago when they were on closeout. From what I can tell it's just a cheap version of the bellistic, it doesn't have as nice a lining and the shell is a little rough but if you're only going to wear it a couple times a year I don't think you can beat the price, I'll sell it to you for $14 + shipping, I wore it on one short ride and the headache I had for the next three days told me it was too small for my head. It's supposed to fit heads up to 22" but I'd call it 21" since my head sure didn't fit.
Mine has saved my teeth in two different occasions.
