My only call out would be the lack of MIPS, Im sure its a good helmet but the MIPS tech is pretty cool

FYI, Al's is legit. Great deal. Don't need a new helmet but like this better than what I have so may jump on this anyway.

Edit: just noticed this is the non-MIPS version, which explains the lower price point. Would still rock it.

If you have a round head, don't bother.

MIPS version is $80. Is that worth the difference?

+1. As a reference, I always check the Virginia tech ratings when buying helmets for myself/family. The Tectal (original post) got 2/5 stars, the Tectal Race (MIPS version) got 4/5 stars. To get 5/5 stars the helmets are usually $$$.* https://www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/bi...gs.html#94

(*also, before anyone craps on me, yes, there are 5/5 star helmets that are cheaper than these, but that actually factors into the rating, so to get this helmet on sale is a win, IMO)
