Title: Xlite helmets
Post by: Frosty_spl on June 08, 2010, 06:46:52 PM
Can we get them in the US? How is the quality compared with the big 2 japanese brands?

I'm obsessed with the Jorge Lorenzo nasa model  ;D

Funny (not that it's a bad one) question as it's a NASA model with a US flag.

Isn't X-Lite related to Nolan somehow? I am not sure, but I thought I read it somewhere....google it

It is related to the Nolan family from Italy.

I can't find any U.S. Company selling X-lite Helmets currently.

Bought a X-Lite helmet from an UK source, kind of expensive. :o

I'm guessing from the UK a NASA X-lite would be $800.
