Default The Arrival Of Snell M2010

So it’s 2009 and that means it is the last year of the Snell M2005 cert.

With the advent of M2010 would we be seeing a large number of door buster deals on the M2005 helmets as the year progresses?

Also anyone know if the M2010 standard will have any motorcycle specific stuff (allowing for lighter helmet shells; etc) like the ECE22-05 does.

Don't worry. You still have an M2005 head.

I like the deals idea. I could use another helmet.

The "deals" idea assumes that customers actually demand the most recent helmets. If they don't, why would stores lower prices?

I'm take'n it as this only really matters to Racers... as from what I've read... the snell rating doesn't mean a whole lot... as the manufactures are "trusted" to test their own and keep them in Snell rating limits...
