merseamudboy Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I need to be careful with the helmet I buy for my road bike as most are too 'round' in shape and give me a blinding headache. I do know of two models that are designed to fit my head shape and they're fine. I tried on a few trials open face helmets today and they all seemed to be very uncomfortable. Does anyone know of a model that suits a narrower 'bonce'? Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hard to say without knowing which ones you tried. However The Airoh "Rock" does seem to suit a lot of riders and it is very light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merseamudboy Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 The Airoh Rock was too tight across the forehead in the size that otherwise fitted. I usually take a Sm size helmet but the Med Nau Eve was as good as it got. Peter Hard to say without knowing which ones you tried.

paul w Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 have you tried a Shoei? i had the same problem, bought one, great fit. (i use Shoei road helmets too, best fit.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merseamudboy Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Thank you for that I'll look out for Shoei to try for fit. The TR3 is a bit pricey. I use an Arai Viper GT for the road, ideal. I don't want to pay huge money for something to bounce a branch off occasionally Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A size small (which is the right size normally) fits fine. Appleyards of Keithley. Peter Edited February 16, 2011 by Merseamudboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good price and seems decent bang for buck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
