That's a good looking bucket. My 509 is coming up on 3 years old now. It was a good helmet and I have it as a spare now. CKX is much better though IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1jkw Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I never rode with a helmet with a visor on it. Doesn't the wind want to rip your head off at 80 MPH and up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its because the visors are vented, your shield being solid would just catch the wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anler Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I owned a 509 helmet for about 5 minutes.

DriftBusta Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Never came to terms with my 509, hated it. Noisy, leaky, fell apart in season 2. BV2S 80% of the time, but mines getting tired after 6-7 seasons. Also picked up a carbon FXr that I’m pretty happy with for days over 10f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted July 19, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 19, 2018 I agree with the 509 helmet, I had 2, and didn't like them much I've rocked a Shoei MX helmet the past 2 seasons with a 509 breath box, and Dragon optics goggles and am extremely happy with the set up. We don't see super cold weather here, maybe 0* or a couple degrees below like 8-10 days a season. And frankly at -20,... I'll be riding the couch🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking about one again but they really don’t have a “snow” helmet. All seem to be on the heavy side. 2.5 ish is the sweet spot!
