Mass in anything brings mass inertia. Big companies have the mass to invest, but have struggle to get things done fast. Small companies are often way more capable of getting stuff done, but lack the capability to scale up. Also 1 poor decision can run such company to the ground. That's why...

I have that helmet (multiple) and am very pleased with it. The MIPS like system works really well. However i spend just under 200 euro for it on 24MX. Not in those fancy colours though.

Another quick question from me. Does anybody know the Nett and Gross capacity of the Stark battery's?

That would be a great back-up for when you crash the phone. Now just something to activate that. The MX buttons somehow are less prone to sticking (oddly since it is the same). Also it sticks out less.

DOT has a very different approach to ECE. DOT has to withstand greater impacts, twice on the same specified spot... ECE focusses more on rotational impact. It also depends on what you're doing on dirtbikes. If it's technical Enduro or tight sand tracks speeds are very low and little impact...

Is you can limit it to a limited amount you can limit it to anything.

The VCU is not Bluetooth connected. The phone is just a display.

KTM has it on ICE streetbikes. Shouldn't be to hard in E bikes.

Complain to Stark about this dealer. A drivetrain is a few hours work. If they can't fit in that time maybe you can't fit in spending money at their place. Sometimes dealers need to be reminded about that. If they did a good/quick job you would like them and probably spend something on gear...

@Chaconne It are pretty much the stock tyres on those bikes. After that they are hard to get except for OEM parts. FIM is the big Euro organisation and mostly they prescribe a max thread dept of 14mm on rear tyres. You can find a lott of tyres that are in a FIM compliant and non compliant with...

The pointed object part is mostly in the front area and aimed at road debris being shot at the rider. Think small rocks and such.

''The Stark is heavier''... While not untrue i don't think it matters. The weight gap between a Stark and most 300 2 strokes is about a camel back filled with water and a hefty lunch. Rider weight differences puts that weight gap between bikes within rounding errors. I'm also from the EU, IRC...

If it's rock riding and max grip you're after it's hard to beat the Michelin Extreme. It melts away though, but plenty grip. In your case i would not go to such soft gummy. Just a soft or a medium Enduro tyre.

In MX you might be right. Not so much in street riding. And ECE only cares for street riding. And MX speeds are way higher. Crashes of 50+ km/h are common. Not to say you can't learn from one another, just know it's comparing apples to oranges.

Is Jarvis allowed to do this with his Husqvarna contract? Or has that ended? Also that's a very tiny battery for it's capacity. Wishfull thinking or some fast advancing tech? This has business of being on a MX track for sure. But i can see this being a weapon in places like Erzberg, Pascuet...

I think i would go stock again. This has taken one for the team instead of your swingarm itself. Aftermarket stuff tends to be really strong.

People have been doing this with Zero's for a long time. Ask around with those guys.

Indeed. Take a footbal, bicycle and MC helmet. Put a bowling ball in them and throw them out of a driving car. I've been looking into those well vented bicycle helmets as well for Hard Enduro, but some people i know who did Down Hill mtb (from the Netherlands, go figure a more out of place...

Depends indeed. In Europe there is a very high standard AND over the whole production run the Institutes take samples. Not complying is pretty much end of your manufacturing career.

I have the theory that cheap helmets are often safer than expensive ones. The cheapest way to get past testing is to overdo it. Just make it bulky, heavy, no ventilation and not too much odd shapes and you have a very save and cheap helmet to develop and produce. Also if you overdo it you don't...
