jagr Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) REEVU MSX-1 Worlds first Rear-view helmet is here.Now we just need a distributor. Any takers? Meets Euro standards, i don't see anything about DOT or SNELL.http://www.reevu.com/safety.aspSo what do you guys think? RV MSX1 Blackmetal RV MSX1 Gunmetal RV MSX1 Titanio The beautiful hand-crafted RV MSX range of motorsports helmets Reevu brings the benefits of its revolutionary rear view technology to the world of motorsports For the past two years Reevu’s rear view technology has taken the Sports and Leisure industry by storm – creating a new benchmark in preventative safety on roads, in all five continents around the world. A new dawn has arrived in helmet development with the REEVU motorsports helmet. REEVU have created the world’s first patented rear-view helmet range that gives the wearer that all round vision “at a glance.” REEVU believes it has made a helmet that will help prevent accidents because “prevention is better than cure”. The amazing Reevu MSX1 motorbike helmet is now available for distribution. Years of development plus leading edge Italian design skills have created a helmet that not only looks cool but also has amazing aerodynamics whilst meeting and exceeding the most rigorous safety and construction standards. A stunning package that looks great and dramatically increases awareness of traffic conditions behind the motorcyclist due to Reevu’s rear view technology. It is an unbeatable combination and is available from stockists near you. Contact us here to make sure you are one of the first to receive full details of the MSX1. What you see.

jermattak Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 how do they hold up in wrecks? what kind of test do they go through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Forgot to put the link in. Sorry.http://www.reevu.com/safety.asp SAFETY Maximum protection and safety are a REEVU helmet’s main requirements; shields are projected and manufactured with extremely evolved materials. “APC” is an exclusive technology to Reevu. Allowing complex shapes with tri composite material, capable of spreading impact power on the complete helmet surface. It grants an excellent degree of impact resistance. IMPACT RESISTANCE, DIFFERENT SHIELDS / PADS REEVU helmets are manufactured with 2 internal liners, 1 crumple zone absorption part, and external tri composite carbon shell. For the different sizes: the inner padding has a different thickness for all the sizes, which can be adjusted with accessory parts to add the bespoke fit and to add comfort and better impact properties. HOMOLOGATION REEVU helmet satisfies the main European homologation ECE-ONU 22-05. However, this helmet has surpassed many other standards and is awaiting certification once the demand in the European community subsides. This homologation involves extremely severe safety tests. The helmet is submitted to flexibility and bump resistance tests, simulating different impacts at different speeds. Power and length of the impact are measured, even at -20° and +50°, or in wet conditions and after extended UV ray exposure. COMFORT Each, REEVU helmet manufactured is hand assembled with perfectly integrated spare parts and special padding. This offers the wearer substantial softness for high quality comfort. In order to prevent dampness inside the helmet, a material covering is used that is able to absorb and expel perspiration. The fabric gives a pleasurable feeling, and is easily replaced and washable. VENTILATION Effective internal ventilation is fundamental for comfort and safety. Riding in maximum comfort and feeling relaxed allows the wearer to give all the attention to the street. REEVU helmets are equipped with a ventilation system projected and tested; air will come in across front positioned slots, above and below the visor, moves along many pipes and holes, and comes out across rear slots, positioned near the rear glass. Rider's head is kept fresh and dry even in torrid climate. LOW NOISE A major factor in the design of the helmet was to deliver a low noise solution to the many throbbing eardrums of motorbike helmet wearers. The unique design through wind tunnel testing has now prevailed to achieve that goal. APC MATERIALS Ultra light shield, in composite materials, manufactured with evolved APC technology, allowing complex shape tri composite shells, capable of spreading impact load across the helmet surface. The shell is composed of carbon fibreglass, Kevlar and synthetic hi-tenacity advanced fibre, tied up from high-lengthening vinylester.Internal shells are made in dual density EPS, very light with a high coefficient bump absorption, creating a structure with different density in order to have more impact distribution.Polycarbonate ventilation slots, that together with the channeling on the inside shell, allow the air flow inside the helmet.Polycarbonate injected visor with high optical quality and easy refit.Completely removable and washable lining, for perfect comfort and cleanliness.Double D ring retention system. APC APC is the high performance technology used for external shields. APC is Advanced Performance Composite, with two main characteristics: Strengthened layer composition One of the peculiarities of APC is the shaping process. Generally a fibre helmet obtains its stability thanks to the polycarbonate material, soaked with combined material (as fibreglass) and heat hardened. The stability of the helmets depends on the quality of the materials and on the mutual affinity of them. APC allows to create an organic fibre structure, which is three dimensional formed, creating a lighter shield with more stability, containing superfluous material accumulation and no rejection during the shaping process. Layer material APC shield is composed by polycarbonate material, warmth hardened fibreglass layer and other organic fibres. Different light organic fibres are applied in appropriate positions, following the characteristics and design of the shell. An APC helmet has more lightness and flexibility, and the same stability. Quality REEVU helmet is manufactured with the most developed technology and is hand made assembled. All the production units are submitted to severe quality control. The helmets are submitted to a computerized test of bump absorption and material density. Obviously all the helmets are also visually checked, in order to grant a top quality level of painting and global quality. REEVU helmets are manufactured at factories, with ISO 9001/2000 certification (cert. SQ02923). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 No one is talking Turkey ($$$) - so I'll assume that "If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 I will find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Price direct from manufacturer (probably full retail) is 790CHF (Swiss Francs). That's 648 USD (US Dollars). Shipping for a helmet from Britain is $40-$50 bucks. I would expect something similar from Switzerland.http://www.reevu.ch/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I will find out.you considering one?? you have been talkin about them alot lately?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I've been emailing them but they have not answered yet. They probably don't get to many people begging for a free helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 They probably don't get to many people begging for a free helmet. VERY cool idea! One of those that I kick myself & say "Damn....So simple...Why didn't I think of that?!?" Hopefully they catch on over here & the price comes down some over the next few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
