Putting a clear pane in the back of a motorcycle helmet, viewable
via a front-mounted mirror, might seem like an obvious idea in, er, hindsight, but it took helmet manufacturer Reevu to
make it a reality. The company's MSX1, which has been the worst-kept secret in biker circles for several years, has
finally made its official debut, at the EICMA show in Milan. The helmet relies on a distinctive raised crown, which
provides a clear line of sight from front to back, enabling the mirror — made of unbreakable reflective polycarbonate —
to capture the view from the rear. The helmet is expetcted to be available worldwide at about $399 early next year.
What a fantastic and original design.
Holy smokes! This is very cool. I wonder if we'll have to sneak these into the country ... it doesn't sound like they're going to be ANSI or Bell certified.
As long as there's some kind of protection from the inevitable git who comes up behind you with the high beams on...
I'm sure they've though of that :)
The cure for comment #3 is invariably the throttle. Leave em in the dust. This in combination with the sport-vue http://www.radarbusters.com/products/accessories/motorcyles/sportsvue.asp
