SpidermanSS 02-07-2008, 01:14 PM I just picked up one of these for myself and wanted to get it posted up..... :fact
Our JR rep had been raving about the Rocket helmets (made by HJC) and convinced me to try out one of the new carbon models.. They retail for $399.99....
I haven't ridden in the helmet yet due to the winter but my first impression is PRETTY damn GOOD! The liner is pretty good for this price range..
Scale of 1 - 10 I'd rate the liner a 7.5 .... :fact Which is pretty DAMN GOOD!
The carbon is nearly flawless.. Vents well placed.. I'm told the breath guard isn't needed that it can be taken out :)
A cool feature is that there is a VISOR lock to keep it closed WHEN it's supposed to be...
They ALSO come standard with ROCKET helmet bag !!!!! wOOt
I'll get up ride reports SOON! The helmets going in for some CUSTOM paint (leaving plenty of CARBON exposed so NO worries)!

NeonspeedRT 02-07-2008, 02:07 PM Just a FYI. The Joe Rocket Helmets are the same as the HJC AC-12 line. There was just a few cosmetic changes done. I've had the Carbon fiber AC-12 for about a year and a half. It's been a great helmet. It's light weight (weighs a few grams less then an Arai RX7), vents awseome, the anti-fog shield rocks, and like Spiderman said the Carbon fiber weave is almost perfect.
Captain Squid 02-07-2008, 02:11 PM I like that!

Yep made by HJC for JR.... only difference is the venting style > JR has there own unique style.
Plus this is the 2008 technology.. advancement in Crown mods and what not.

Nice lid Shane...it's kinda funny wearing one...their so damn light it almost feels like "Is this cheap piece of crap even gonna hold up?!" lol More expensive it is...the heavier it is...kinda counter intuitive!
