HJC CL-16 Solid Helmet - Street Motorcycle - Motorcycle Superstore

See my signature below...hubby thought I needed the pink mohawk. Lol
It is Snell m2010/DOT rated.

M2010 is only rated for motorcycles, many tracks require an SA2010 which is rated for cars.

Motorcycle helmets and car helmets are deisgned for different types of impact.

If you're tracking buy a car helmet, not a moto helmet.

I am facing the same problem, which helmet to buy that is not super-expensive as I am not a regular track user. Thanks for the advices guys.

The CL-16 is the cheapest Snell rated helmet out there that I've been able to find.

I autocrossed in a Wayloo Snell 2005 and it was pretty uncomfortable.

after trying my buddies arai i picked up a new arai rx-q for $320 and i absolutely love it. helps that i got such a good deal too!

figured there are a lot more expensive track necessary mods that i'd need to do before i worry about buying a SA2010 helmet. I also refuse to buy an expensive helmet before trying one too!

Where did you buy it from?

dP3NGU1N · 09-23-2013, 10:15 PM

Any number of online retailers have them for about $110+$20 shippping. I picked mine up locally for $130 at bert's mega mall.

Bell Sport full face in black. The fit is great, not too heavy, and the price is affordable for the driver who only does a few track events. Good first helmet.
