Helmets on Ali express

[RedRick Esq.]

I wouldn't buy any helmet for £100 no matter where it came from TBH

If you have a £100 head then yep but mine is worth more than £100

... mine is worth more than £100

But it's been dented

 

[theoneandonly]

i have paid £85 for a helmet , when on holiday . but normally i spend £300-350 , for my main helmet .

got a $10 dollar head ? get a $10 helmet.

Shoei stopped making the J-Cruise about two years ago, caveat emptor

Er… no they didn’t !
They stopped making the J -Cruise seven years ago when they introduced the J-Cruise II and then the J-Cruise III replaced the II two years ago and is still a current model .

 

[oblertone]

Yep, I missed the 2

Hi
I’m looking to buy a new helmet and I see Ali express advertising a new Shoie J Cruise 2 for around £100.
Anyone bought a helmet off AE or too good to be true?
Thanks

Err. Honestly? You really think this will be a genuine shoei? Just no.

A saying from my yoof

Got a £10 head…. buy a £10 helmet.

Sadly they don’t sell helmets for £1 so I am forced to spend more.
Over spec’d again!!!

On the basis that Sheoi are all made in Japan (nowhere near china), it's incredibly unlikely one would find its way onto AliExpress or Temu
They're just liars and fraudsters
It really should be governed or shut down, it's organised crime

Infinity sell JCruise 2 - a reputable company as far as I’m aware.
The 3 has only been out for a year or so - so a few 2s have been sitting, unsold, on a shelf for a year. If the average rider wears a helmet for 5 years ……….

I think sunlight offers the most degradiation to the helmet shell ; and compresion of the lining to the inside; the Mrs chucking one at you from off the balcony as you storm off to the pub does'nt do em much good either;

Call Xi Jinping, I’m sure he’s in the phone book.

Too true
A mate has decorated his bike (NX500 in red) with cheaply red anodised shite from Temu and it really is like market tat

Pictures please, to build outrage.

Next time I am there I will take some

I remember a quote about that along the lines of “it looks like it crashed into the Halfords bargain bucket bin backwards”

I got some radiator guards from Ali Express and they are fantastic. £30. But you don’t need anything particularly fancy to stop a few errant stones.

A helmet from there would not be a priority for me though!
