this, i waited for the 3r as some complained about the 2r fit, but rarely use the chinbar...i was happy to see harcourt racers could wear them [ i don’t own a full face]I like my super3r, barely ever use the chinbar though.
The Super dh is a lot more comfy than the earlier Bell convertible jobs, it's the most comfortable helmet I've owned.Doubt i will be doing any races at most one or two a year think I might pull the pin on a super dh. Just not sure if it's as comfy as a normal non convertible helmet
Know of any good shops that sell them in Melbourne?The Super dh is a lot more comfy than the earlier Bell convertible jobs, it's the most comfortable helmet I've owned.
There is a lot of adjustment in the Super dh from the depth (best adjustment), to the rear dial and the cheek pads.
I've seen them at Yarra valley cycles. Might be worth stopping past Ivanhoe cycles in Hallam on the way, I know they have the 3r, they might have the dh too.Know of any good shops that sell them in Melbourne?
No sorry, no one local to me had them so I purchased online.Know of any good shops that sell them in Melbourne?
I’m with Matty. If you think you might need face protection on a ride you should just be wearing a proper full face.you only get 1 head.... find yourself an "old" paint job TLD D3 for cheap..., go try one on and you will know what your next helmet will be. Personally i was never satisfied with the protection or strength of any of the "light-weight" or convertible helmets... the Fox one has more holes in the chinbar than actual helmet.
You need more helmets.I've got a Bell Super 3r mips, Met Parachute, and a Proframe mips.
I really like the 3r as a trail helmet. Its got a lot of coverage at the back of the head and is well made. Never used the chinbar.
The Parachute is only a teensy bit heavier than the 3r and I often forget that its a full face. It has really great ventilation and has very good thermal management. The only real downfall is that it doesn't work with neck braces.
The Proframe feels like my rampage pro carbon. It feels a lot more like a full face than the Parachute.
If I were you I would get a Parachute as an all purpose helmet. Maybe get a cheap lightweight Limar for xc/road riding.

This.2nd the Super DH. It's a great lid. I just wear it without the chin-bar 90% of the time, but then convert it to a FF for gravity days or gnarly sh!t I may be riding.
I don't take it on pedally days as without a backpack i have nowhere to store the chin bar.
