Anyone have any experience with this helmet? I need to replace my Giro and was thinking I might go for a moto helmet. This one seems pretty well vented and doesn't seem like it will make me look like too much of a bobblehead.

No one has tried on this helmet?
I am thinking about getting that helmet as well. I went and tried it on at a shop and it is definitely nice. Super light helmet and plenty strong enough for goin big. I usually wear medim stuff but the large seemed to fit me best. The venting does seem pretty good but MX helmets are big and they seem to keep your head pretty warm no matter what. Its best to go find somewhere that has them and try them on, especially when your gonna spend $300 or so dollars.
that helment is GIANT ! i like the looks of it but damn.
Look at the Troy Lee SE.

i am in the market for a new lid as well and have been looking at the TLD's.
Thanks for these responses. This was exactly what I was looking for.Jimmy_Pop said:

if you are going to be droping that much cash on a helmet get eather a troy lee or a specialized deviant carbon. the specialized is light as hell and ventalated as well as some xc helmets.
i have seen that specialized helmet, and it is flexy as a noodle. i could push the bottom walls of it (where you put your head in) so much that there was only an inch and a half, 2 inches of space between them. NOT confidence inspiring. i did this in front of the specialized rep for our shop as well as our manager. i straight up told the rep that i didn't think it was safe and that it was not i product i would use. granted this was when it first came out so they may have changed it since then.
i wouldnt reccommend this helmet for biking, i have it as my moto helmet and love everything about it but it is big and heavy (for a bike) and woulnt ever use it for biking
get a helmet designed for bikes trust me

Have you ever considered that flex may actually prohibit injury by taking up the impact of a crash for you instead of transfering it? Don't judge a product because you "feel" it's not safe; Specialized is a big company who knows what they're doing.jonKranked said:
i did consider this. immediately afterwards, i considered how unpleasant it would be to have shards of carbon fiber lodged in my face and scalp.Bicyclist said:
