its made by the company that makes the d2. i dont see how that makes it a ripoff

 

[downhillracer]

i think they are like 300$, not much of a savings over a d2

quite a bit more than that. i just converted the 270 pounds sterling to about $500 us

Not to mention, they reportedly actually protect your head, unlike a TLD.

 

[sayndesyn]

I highly doubt they will be sold in the US for that much...

Exactly. The english get completely screwed on most pricing for bike stuff.

 

[sayndesyn]

No joke.... Imagine paying 3000 pound for a stinky..

I'd prefer not to.

 

[jcook90]

so who makes tld's then, and i thought they did protect your head

 

[al-irl]

Generally the uk pricing is a cause of changing the dollar sign into a pound sign. So if something is 100 dollars it becomes 100 pounds.

This is a right pain in the ass for us in ireland cause most of the bike shops here are supplied from the uk so the 100 pounds then becomes about 140 euro.

So expect the THE lid to be around the $300 mark

Exactly what I was going to say. It works exactly the same in english restaurants. I had a friggin $50usd bison burger, fries and a beer in Fort William. Ugh.

go to the photo galleries on my website for pics of the helmets in action

www.dylandeandesigns.com

BRYN ATKINSON (GT), ANDREW NEETHLING (MONGOOSE), & CHRIS KOVARIK (MS INTENSE) all ride "the" helmets

 

[lovebunny]

i should be getting one in a couple weeks

 

[DHperu]

its made by the company that makes the d2. i dont see how that makes it a ripoff

it is when they say the its a brand new design "from the ground up"...i´m just saying. but i didn´t know that they made TLD D2´s

 

[chicodude]

i should be getting one in a couple weeks

WTF is wong with your D2?

 

[SteezyWeezy]

eh, 275 isnt that bad, still, it's a little fishy, snce the look is the exact same, but they're sweet, i'd get one

 

[rodrigodh]

some pics from THE ONE

some pics from THE ONE

the production models should all have painted visors (instead of the chrome one shown here)

 

[DylanDeanDesign]

a few other shots....custom painted versions

Bryn & Andrew didn't want the stock visors, so i subsituted them.

 

[bizutch]

So I'm confused.....We've been over this a thousand frickin' times. The THE IS the OGK helmet! But what's this crap about being stronger than the TLD? And what's so new about it for 07 other than the painted visor? looks like there is a pretty pattern on the liner is the only other thing I see...

OGK is one of the biggest mfg of helmets (i believe)... they make helmet for a wide variety of companies. I'm pretty sure they did (& possibly still do) make TLD's D2.

The D2 doesn't meet the Snell or ANSI regulation by one certain point or criteria. not sure what it lacks, but from what the guys at TLD told me, that's it. They said it wasn't major...but i honestly donno. I still have no problems wearing one. I believe the "the - one" helmet meets all of the standards.

Visually there isn't any difference in the lid since they were debued last season by the INTENSE team... However, sizing is different. The general public wouldn't know the difference since they never had the original versions. Graphics & the liner detail is different but not that big of a deal.

I think they're just highlighting that it's a NEW helmet....since no one (other than sponsored riders) have really had the helmet.

i think i got that all right....

Haha. Ninja post.

Ha, nice.

 

[SBDownhillRacer]

does THE have a website with this helmet on it?

 

[erikkellison]

What's to be gained by meetina ANSI and SNELL? I know, stronger, but when was the last time one of you actually structurally damaged a full face? (Let the pictures begin?). I got a concussion in my 661, and that wasn't the helmet's fault. I'm sure it saved me from much worse damage, and it didn't get visibly damaged structurally. Anyway, my new Pro Bravo looks better than those

Heikki tore the entire jaw piece off of a TLD this year. So ya, you CAN damage a full face. I crushed the jaw piece on a bell bellistic a few years ago too (my face came out fine).

 

[ViciousDHer]

the kid cracked an o'neal 905 last year and that met both standards. result was a slight concussion. The helmet did its job. !!
