Product Review: Made2Race X-4.5 Helmet

I have used a carbon-fibre O’Neal 10 Series helmet for the last two years and thought it was the ant’s pants with light weight and good ventilation. So I was shocked when I looked at the M2R X-4.5 as it was such a cool design, very light and very well designed, with easy removal of liner and cheek pads for the ‘each ride’ wash.

The M2R X-4.5 Helmet weighs just 1195g

It is also designed with ESRS so that the cheek pads can be easily removed by pulling on a tab each side even while helmet is still being worn for emergencies. The dual layer four-piece channelled EPS shock absorbing liner giver further peace of mind especially with the MIT plus Carbon Kevlar FG shell and safety shear peak. Ventilation is by multi-channel vortex system.

As a result the M2R X-4.5 helmet is very comfortable while riding, and all-round very impressive! I would happily spend my own money to buy one of these helmets for my use of enduro riding.

For more information see the McLeod Accessories website for the full helmet range, or visit your local M2R stockist. The M2R X4.5 Helmet is available starting from $399 RRP in sizes XS – XXL.
