Hey guys, whatsup, its me again with yet another helmet... weee.... this time its for my girl, shes chosen from countless models (of course, it HAS to be pink) and she has come up with these two from AFX... Anyone have experience with AFX? Our local bike shop sells the exact model as one she picked, so I know it cant be TOOO bad, as that is the only helmet that they sell that is not a high-end 500 dollar helmet. anyways, heres the two models, if you have ANY input, please say so... this is my girls head we have in the air right now  and, i have to say, I love her.  hahah dont tell anybody 
AFX FX-97 (Pink) Modular Construction
AFX FX-20 (Pink) Solid Construction
thanks again guys/girls,
Chris

Honestly chief, at least get her an HJC. These helmets aren't going to do much for you.

c'mon LOKI. don't blame your girl. we all know that you are looking for a pink helmet for yourself. it ok. im not a pink man myself but i respect that you seem to be in touch with your feminine side!
lol. seriously. i know nothing about afx helmets, other than they seem to be very cheaply priced. i just couldn't pass on a chance to give you a hard time.

Never heard of them either... where do you keep finding these helmets!!! Anyways... I always do research and find reviews. So I stick with names people have already tested for me. If you can't the color you like in a known brand... buy a simple flat black and have it air brushed.

Personally, I am a fan of ICON products. I can sell u a slightly used ICON KITTY helmet. I also can sell u the matching leather. Let me know if your interested. If your going to buy a new one, remember, you get what you pay for.

try one of these... EXCELLENT helmets from what I have heard. I'm probably going to be getting one soon.
http://www.ogk-helmet.com/html/index.htm
199 bucks! These are japanese made. composite outter including CF and kevlar. Weighing in at just over 3lbs this thing is very light. good sound.. not loud inside. Completely removable liner. GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! Visability. I can see more peripheral than i ever have in any other helmet ive ever tried on. Which would be great for the track as well as the street. has an awesome tear off system and even comes with a smoked tear off. Good ventilation! I really like it.
Mine arrived yesterday and i love it. Especially considering that they went for over 700 when they first came to the US, are now usually 449, other ppl have it on sale for 299.. and straight from the main US importer... 199! OGK's are pretty big overseas... just not in the US. It is DOT and Snell, but is also ECE certified as well. Take a look at the weight chart on the link below
i picked up the black and blue with orange
awesome review here: http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/ogk/ff4/
