509 Carbon Lid...yes please
- Thread starter tudizzle
- Start date
Of which lid?
Haha now that's funny! That things so pretty I wouldn't want to use it for fear of scratching the dang thing...
Course when you get the stuff for free who cares...
Sorry wasn't trying to spread misinfo...just checked the MF site and it said "sold out"...wasn't thinking about dealer supplies.
Do you know if you have a dealer going to the Snow show in Denver?
Ya. There will be a few dealers there with helmets. If you are serious I would contact :
MotoFrugals
Rocky Mountain Extreme (RMX)
Vickery Motorsports
Ice Age
They are confirmed to be going. And what they are bringing out for helmets is about all they will have. Mr. Dizzle is right. We are out at MF.
A short note....This is the only helmet in the world that bonds the foam to the shell....DIRECTLY!! Patented. Done. No one else does it.
Making it much safer in every way....but also making it lighter at the same time.
Years in development, this revolutionary construction incorporates pyramids of different CONTEGO™ foam densities to provide the softest materials next to your head. With a shell providing the skeleton, COMPOSITE FUSION™ Plus technology provides not only one of the lightest possible helmets but also one of the most protective.
but....if sold out, like I said, hit the 509 this year. Look us up on the next go round.

Hey guys, we will have our new carbon helmet at the Denver show, as well as 11 other shows across the country. They are in stock at your local 509 dealer starting this week and we'll be receiving new containers almost weekly through the end of October, so stock levels before the snow flies won't be an issue. Check with your favorite 509 dealer or on our website to get your hands on one.
There's alot of cool new helmet technology in the sled industry this year! Alot of options in every price point, which is awesome to see. The Kali Helmet foam technology in the MF helmet is definitely innovative!
There are so many variables to consider when comparing helmet price points, just one of many being the helmets shell construction. Helmet shells typically fall into three categories: Carbon Fiber, Fiberglass, Molded Polycarbonate. Carbon fiber being on the upper echelon of manufacturing costs. However with the added price tag, you get all the amazing properties found in carbon fiber. CF has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios in existence. Which lends it's self to be an extremely light weight, yet incredibly strong material. This is one of many reasons why its the material of choice across so many industries such as aerospace, automotive, etc.
Here is one general material strength comparison chart...
[MATERIAL] [STRENGTH] [DENSITY] [SPECIFIC STRENGTH] [BREAKING LENGTH]
[Aluminum] [600 MPa] [ 2.80 g/cm³] [214 kN·m/kg] [21.8km]
[Steel] [2000 MPa] [7.86 g/cm³] [254 kN·m/kg] [25.9km]
[Fiberglass] [3400 MPa] [2.60 g/cm³] [1307 kN·m/kg] [133km]
[Carbon Fiber] [4300 MPa] [1.75 g/cm³] [2457 kN·m/kg] [250km]
*Specific Strength: Is a materials strength (force per unit area at failure divided by its density.)
*Breaking length: The max length a vertical column of material that could suspend its own weight when supported only at the top.
As you can see carbon fiber has a specific strength that is 867% stronger than steel and 88% stronger than fiberglass.
The beauty of this industry is the companies that represent their products. No matter which snowmobile brand helmet you go with, you'll receive a good product backed by an even better company.

Ive had the 509 evolution for 2 yrs and i think its extremely light....the new ones must be super light...either way very happy with the product and warranty.
While I don't like that answer, it is what I expected, & I respect you for answering
Once again, not surprising, but sad.
