Hi all

Im looking into a full face helmet to save my teeth -

Iv seen 3 that i really like

azonic fury helmet

661 strike helmet

oneal fury helmet

I know the oneal and azonic are the exact same helmet just with different name brand and designscolourings but does the 661 fall into this aswell?

the 661 is double the cost of the other 2 and from looking at pictures i cant see a bit of difference other than again brand name and design colourings


can anyone clear this up for me somehow

thanks in advance

    the 661 is lighter and stronger and is made with better internal materials.

    you can go mad looking for a helmet so get one around £70-£80 that you like the look of. youre not riding world cup DH courses so you dont need a £300 troy lee.

    Just got a Giro Remedy for the mega - feels really nice fit. Have you tried any on? Its a very personal thing the fit of a helmet on your head.

    I reccomend The full face carbon helmets very close to the quality
    of the Troy Lee helmets

    I only knew about the O'Neal Fury that has the same outer shell design as the 661 Strike,
    but now the Azonic Fury too. Who's stealing from who? :shock:
    Judge by your self.

    I have 661 Strike (Black and Red) and I can vouch for it.

    Azonic make the O Neal helmets, hency why they are the same. Not sure on the 661's though.

    Got an O Neal Fury in White last week, not used it in anger yet, but seems pretty good for only £48. Tad heavy compared to my XC helmet though!
  • I use a Fox Rampage.

    It's damn fine and fits me like a glove.
    Make sure you try a lid on before you buy it.
