Thanks Tom - I think it is some statement to say even your cheapest model is lighter than the main competition - which I am sure the final version will be.

Based on the helmets that I have in the office which have all come from shops etc the results I got are as per below.....

[Buzz]

thanks for showing this.
I do like a graph!!

That's an interesting graph, as the guys who have picked up my (admittedly older) Premier Ti have all commented on how light it is, and they have a variety of Masuri, Albion and GM lids.

Is the old Premier, the same construction as the new one?

[Liam-SCCC]

How much weight would a Ti grill save against a steel?

[Buzz]

it is a shame you didn't use that graph in the presentation yesterday, although I realise there was a huge effort not to mention rival manufacturers.
Liam - The difference in Masuri Ti and steel grille's looks to be about 160+grams so we can assume the ayrtek ti is in that region.

[Liam-SCCC]

So the premier with the Titanium grill could be around the weight of the pro then

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Tim...the "Premier" you have is of fibreglass construction whilst the new one is made from an entirely different process and therefore materials. Your one will be lighter than the new premier model due to this.

We realise we cant produce a product that is as light as the Elite/RAW shells in plastics which is what the premier and pro will be made from (all be it a lot more advanced materials than the bog standard "washing up bowl" materials that other choose to use).

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Incidentally the RAW Leicester lid that was doing the rounds yesterday weighs in at 591g

As the Elite and RAW shells are hand made there will be some natural variation in the finished weight for which we allow a tolerance of +/- 15g

[Buzz]

That RAW lid was very comfortable, i have to say... I will have to start saving up

I'll weigh mine tonight and report back...

My premier was 734g with a ti grill

Oh dear more kit the same Buzz,well elite anyway for me love mine

[Liam-SCCC]

I have started my Ayrtek fund! Will hopefully have enough by the new year!

Just weighed various grills and helmets, I reckon the Prmeier with Ti grill would come in lighter than masuri steel
