M2010 and ECE R22-05 impact tests differ most in severity. Although the first M2010 impact at a site on the helmet is at a velocity of 7.75 m/sec, only slightly greater than 7.5 m/sec velocity in ECE R22-05, this difference is amplified by the choice of Impact test equipment.

Christmas is upon us and the colder weather means a lot of riders have packed up their bikes for the winter - so to give everyone a chance to win something fun we have been given two Arai St George Helmet money boxes from Branded Biker to give away... Who does not want a novelty helmet shaped ornament then???
I would like to be able to put out that the money box is made from mixed fibre composites, has ample ventilation and will improve your riding but in all honesty it is a pot Arai RX7-GP Saint George styled money holder and as such is quite low on technical features - that said though it looks really cool and would make an epic present for the rider who has everything!
Q - what is the depth of the money box in mm - click image below to visit the product page for a hint...
Registration on the site is fast and easy, click this link to go to the registration page.
Really simple, fill in your details with correct email address, you now have full, free access to all of Bikechatter's features and monthly competitions - have you missed out on winning until now? STOP! get registered free

In 2010 Arai introduced a new and innovative sponsoring scheme tailor made for the Isle of Man TT organization: a series of three Arai RX-7 GP TT helmets, with a limited production run of 500 units per helmet design for Europe, of which a substantial commission of the profit will flow directly towards the TT organization. Now the breath- taking second (2011) edition is ready for its introduction to the best-known course in the motorcycle world. The first black and gold 2010 limited Isle of Man TT Series helmets were an instant hit and collector’s item.
