X-lite 551 helmet querie.

Post by Teammaddie1 »

I've just purchased a new x lite 551 helmet. Does anybody out there know if there are supposed to be any safty stickers on the helmet for uk riding as I can't see a kite sticker or anything. Do they still do that? or am I out of touch with this sort of thing, as I haven't bought a new helmet for a few years.

There were no safety stickers in the box when I bought mine, last year.
I don't think you need any for UK

Mines at home so can't check but isn't there a CE mark on the chin strap now?

There is an e mark on the strap and it's an approved lid but no acu gold stamp so not approved for racing

It's ok for racing if the event isn't sanctioned by the ACU so some of the rallies organised by druids in Wales you're ok but for others you need that sticker.

The are often left off but available on request. Had the same problem with an acerbis at a rally once- no sticker.
