I believe the requirements are for a full face helmet.

 

Personally, I would advise you against using a flip up helmet. Unlike a full face helmet where the chin guard is a completely assembly with the helmet and therefore stronger.... the flip chin guard is only as strong as the locking pin of the lock down device.

 

Really.... in the end its how much you value your face but then again.. its your choice, its your life.

From what i've observed, yes you can use a flip-up helmet at PG. Please be careful if you do though.

I tink its because u never went to PG before..i personally tink its almost impossible to just travel at 50-60km/hr. Plus..if u really wan to travel at that speed, I would strongly discourage u fr goin to track. U will be a real hazard on track..

 

Anyway back to ur helmet lah...like wat the other riders said...its ur choice...

FF are definitely better than flip-ups in terms of safety...choose wisely

Woah dude, PG is a racetrack.

So it isn't a place where one can "try out" track riding in a leisurely pace.

 

In fact, everybody goes twice or triple than that of your intended 50km/h speed.

 

Flipup FF? I second the comments left here by the members here too.

Worse comes to worst: Weakest link = pivot point of that helmet.

i think wen he said 50km/h he meant it as a joke bah.. just coz u guys are toking about track, and its all seriously stuff.. LIGHTEN UP MAN!! *sheesh*

 

wahahahhahaha

 

well, try all u want.. if u have the means go ahead.. get that dare devil out at the proper place. Dun be trying it at roads watsoever..

You can get the new Nolan N62 FF helmet. It's cheap and costs below $300

In my humble opinion.....

 

The cheapest full face helmet will STILL provide better protection than the most expensive open face or flip up helmet.
