Modular Full Face Helmets

Thoughts? Good idea or a compromise not worth taking

Looking at a Bell Super DH, Leatt DBX Enduro Helmet plus others.

They seem to offer great 'round the back of the head' protection which would be good for trail riding, but then I've got the intention of visiting Rogate, some parks over in Wales where a full face would be handy were I to accidentally into a tree. Dont think ill ever get into proper downhill, there just isnt anything round me in Surrey I'd consider anything other than aggressive trail riding

I’ve just got a Bell Super DH; a few weeks ago a mate of mine had a spill, went over the bars and ended up with a broken nose and smashed all his front teeth - the teeth alone are going to cost thousands. That did it and after some research I went for the Bell. It’s a highly rated bit of kit.

I’m a biker and I won’t ride a motorbike with an open face helmet, so it makes sense given that the speeds I get up to downhill on my MTB are not much different to those on my dirt bike when it’s rocky/steep.

I got it for a pretty decent price too, off Amazon, it was a similar price to lesser spec stuff.

I've gone with the super 3R, nearly went with the DH

I was going to the 3R but got my super DH for well night the same price, so it was a no-brainer. Curiously as soon as I bought it the price then went up on Amazon to £224 - is this a "thing" with them now?

I have an older one, I think the 2R. I find it great as I often ride to the trails. I attach the chin guard to the top loop on my Camelbak using a carabiner and hair bobble.
