Title: New Helmet or Not?
Post by: the little ripper on May 08, 2012, 07:47:51 PM
I currently have a masuri with a normal steel grill, I'm finding it too heavy at the minute should I buy a titanium masuri grill or buy a helmet with a titanium grill for £40 ish? If I get the new helmet I also would be looking at selling the masuri.

Just buy a new grill, no point spending more on a new helmet when you don't need to.

The helmet part of that package will be a lot heavier than the Masuri anyway so you won't actually have a lighter helmet overall!

Ud be better off spending £20 on the Ti grille

Would that ti grille fit a Masuri Tom?

Sould do as it has slots at the front although it is what they use on Albion lids generally due to coming from the same manufacturer.

I'd be interested to know as well mate! £20 for a Ti grill is a great deal if it will fit my Slaz Elite (which is a Masuri if I am not mistaken?)

Grille on a Masuri, the current settings provide a 60mm gap between peak and grille

Thanks for doing that mate!

Seems like a cheap ti grille is going to get bought then!

Thanks again...
