Anyone knows when 100% might release a new lineup of the Aircraft Carbon MIPS helmets? 2020 models are very hard to find because thay are sold out everywhere. They just released new composite ones but no carbon yet.

Let me ask and see if I can get some more information.

100% has been slowly releasing 2021 gear. I'm guessing they're releasing as they get stuff in. I've been checking daily for new kits. I'd assume in the next few weeks as they're already pretty behind when compared to releases last year.

Anyone have experience with naked optics? Just came along them and really like their purple goggle.
But can't find anything in the forum about them.

Thx a lot in advance.

I would like to hang a shingle for Kali protective.


I had a Shiva carbon, I crashed. They sent me a new one after sending in my old one.

I am really impressed by them meaning it when they offer 1 for 1 crash replacement.

Helmets nice, I have Smith goggles decent combo.

For looks? Smith for sure. The Oakley nosepiece looks weird being just a half circle.

Email them. They're usually pretty quick to respond. They will tell you if they have them or not or will find another solution. I know they're out of stock right now on several "replacement" type items so they just pulled them from their site until they're back in stock.

Smith squad xl doesn't jive well with my giro disciple, but are good goggles. I think the airbrake would be a better solution for me due to the overall width dimension of the goggle.

I also run this combo but the helmet pushes the goggles down on my nose all the time making riding difficult, did you have any fitting issues??
Sorry for my rather delayed answer - no, I did not have any issues with fitment, although when it wasn't tight enough, frame came in contact with the helmet.

I’ve got a few pairs of melon goggles , started using them last year racing motocross. Good goggles with a great field of view , nice and customizable too.
Great bang for the buck, too!

How do Bell Helmets size as i've just seen a sweet deal for a Super DH. My current helmet is a 100% aircraft in S (55/56) but the Bell small is 52-56 so is quite a spread, the medium is 55-59

Edit my head measurement is exactly 56
I'm around 56.5 and running size M. There's enough steps on the dial to squeeze out my head contents. lol
I also find the cheek pillows kinda stiff, not really a big deal. YMMV, though.

Bump. What's new in helmets guys. I went from a Bell Sanction to a 100% Status and now adding the ugliest D3 Fiberlite in the world. Hard to ride back to back days with helmet that is still soggy and wet from sweat.
