that thing will shatter if a bug hits it while your riding.... I dont thing carbon fiber would be a good idea for a helmet with all the impacts it takes. it will have lil spider web cracks all over it if it hits the ground

if you replace your helmet after everytime you crash I guess it would be ok, I normally wait till about 4 hard crashes or a concussion to replace a helmet.

I checked one out at my local shop. we have three HJC helmets and they have all held up great. that carbon helmet retails for $400, I paid $400 for my Arai and its a much nicer helmet. I don't think its worth $400 but if you like it then get one.

I like that helmet also I tried one on at the dealer show pretty light I like the one with the cabon and the graphic... but I have a fly helmet that the wife had custom painted for me a couple years ago so I better stick with that for now :p
