MotorcycleGear "Almost Free" Sale : Joe Rocket RKT-201 Abyss Motorcycle Helmet + $260 Gift Card for $269.99 Shipped

Quote from GetMaxCashBack : Never bought anything from motorcyclegear.com before but looks like a legit deal. They have awesome resellerratings.com ratings. I'm in for 1.

These guys have been around a long time. They used to be called newenough for years. I bought numerous items from them.

Good business, good deal. As other people have said, they used to be called newenough.com, but changed their name. Bought lots of stuff from them, and they ARE reputable.

Thanks, OP!

Yep, good name good customer service.

If the graphics are too loud, this would be a good track day helmet as its SNELL 2010.

Have looked at this in stores for GF and it was rather light too but she didn't like the graphics either otherwise we would have bought this for her.

don't know if they still do this, but before they changed their name from newenough, they'd give you an extra $10 gc for writing a review of a product you buy from them.

i placed an order and it shipped within an hour. now that's fast.

when do we get the Gift Credit?

anyone know what HJC helmet this is comparable to? I think this is a great deal btw, I've bought more new gear from newenough/motorcyclegear than anywhere else, they specialize in closeouts on "last year's" models.

but what is whort to buy using the gift card?

I got in on this deal (Tour Master Flex 2 Jacket in Big Men's Sizes; $24.99 after $200 Gift Card) last July and I was able to use the $200 GC from that purchase on this purchase. I also had a 10% off coupon that MotorcycleGear emailed me earlier this month that was expiring in two days that I was able to use. I had been eying the Shoei GT-Air Wanderer Helmet [motorcyclegear.com] but discovered that the 10% coupon does not work on items from Icon, REV'IT!, Shoei, or Thor. The coupon did work on this order though. I will probably end up using the $260 GC on the Shoei helmet when it comes out in mid-March

*Update*
They cancelled the this order since my gift card was from a previous Nearly Free deal.

this is a good deal, wish i didnt buy a new helmet last summer

I had 2 10% off coupons that expired

What's this new Shoei helmet? That's X12 money ... does it replace the X12?

I and many of our club members have purchased from them. Legit business people.

It's meant to be above the RF-1100 and below the Neotec and X-Twelve. I like that it has a built-in sun visor and I prefer its paint schemes to those available for the X-Twelve. I bet it will come down in price a bit after it is released. I tried one on last weekend and it felt solid and comfy. My friend didn't like it as much as the RF-1100. The X-Twelves were locked in a display case...
