Hi,
Could anyone advise me regarding a new good value helmet for road bike?
Would like open/closed face front.

Re: Helmet
Check out the SHARP website before you buy....some of those opening front helmets are pretty useless.

Re: Helmet
I've got a Shark Evoline helmet that can be used as a open or full face. I've had a couple of them now and I think they are a fantastic road helmet. I've also got a Shoei Hornet ADV for any trips that include trail riding that i also rate highly.

Re: Helmet
The LS2 which can legally be worn as an open face or full face is known as Ls2 FF399 valiant. I've tried this helmet and the shark evoline 3 in a shop. The shark evoline 3 is cheaper but the LS2 FF399 Valiant seemed to be worth the extra money, because the Shark was difficult to manage with just one hand, I was pulling hard and then bang; however the LS2 had a smooth action.
Re: Helmet
Personally I am a SHOEI kinda head hence I usually buy from them. Their adventure model is brilliant. Arai and other brand don't usually fit me.
But as usual, you should go in a shop, try different ones, find the best fit for YOU and buy that.
