edited September 2013 in MTB buying advice
Been offered a brand new one cheap as I need a new helmet and am tempted.
I suppose my only doubt is....is it a little too roadie?
It says road and mtb on website.

What's anyone's thoughts?

    If you wear it with pink lycra and a tutu people might laugh at you. Otherwise who cares.

    I use the road one on my commute, great helmet, vent holes are a little unprotected for an MTB and they are slightly longer and more 'aero', but other than that will be fine.

    Thanks for the answers, I ended up buying a Giro feature after reading another posting on the Forum.

    I use all my helmets interchangeably.
