Have a look at the distribution tab at the top of the screen to see where they are sold

the X.01 SUMMER LIGHT and the XPLUS are just awesome.Just wonder is it safe to buy a helmet online?every brand are different about their sizes i have a shark small a rjays medium and a small open face rjays.It's important to wear a helmet that fits your head, it does have to be neither to big nor small so the point to try them at the shop

that's the one i wanted but they don't comply to australian standards

2000bluebird · 05-05-2009, 2:46 AM

buy it somewhere else, the safety standards in other contries have got to be similar, the only time it would cause you trouble is if pulled over and the cop checks the helmet, which is very rare IMO.

In a case of accident i may not be covered by my insurance 'cos i wasn't wearing a standard helmet thanks but no thanks there is heaps of nice helmets there must be a similiar one somewhere

DeathWish01 · 05-05-2009, 2:52 AM

i do like their helmets.. but when it comes to this type of purchase i like to play with it and make sure i like it before i buy it... plus they don't have red

that is a fair point, i retract my statement.

2000bluebird · 06-26-2009, 2:07 PM

anyone seen any updates on this?

Poundstretcher · 06-27-2009, 5:29 AM

My shoei came from usa, snell, dot approved on the back same as Australia but no Aus standard sticker, doesn't mean it's inferior. If it bothers you put one on off an old lid. I think the number stops them being sold here it doesn't stop you buying them elsewhere or being used over here. The insurance would have to prove the helmet was an inferior product, you policy does not state you must wear ASA.

CanadianBird · 06-27-2009, 10:14 AM

Isn't it better to go to a decent dealer and look at and try them on for the perfect fit? Or, you can be like Jimbop and fly from Vancouver to Spain to buy a helmet. LOL
