Afx Motorcycle Helmets

AFX Motorcycle Helmets

The AFX company has been manufacturing helmets since 1996. The founders of the company built it with determination. It was made for a purpose. The founders felt that riders were being asked to pay large amounts of money for less helmet. They felt this trend was getting way out of hand. There were very few new designs or additions to helmets at the time, but prices kept rising. They had a desire to make hot new AFX motorcycle helmets with innovative options at a reasonable price. All of the AFX motorcycle helmets are built with class, style, durability, and safety and cost a fraction of what others cost.

To keep costs down, AFX only deals with one distributor per country. The selected distributor then sells to retailers. This simple business operation guide allows the elimination of the middle businessmen and keeps prices down. The companys growth is a consistent surprise to the founders, who had no idea what to expect. The company deals mostly with North America, but they are expanding to Europe and Australia as well.

AFX makes helmets for every type of rider. They have helmets for daily riding, highway cruising, or off-road trail riding. They simply have something for everyone. Their styles are attention grabbing and the innovative options keep riders happy.

The 2005 AFX motorcycle helmet line is one of change. The company added their first flip-up, full face, and 3-piece off-road helmets. They also continued offering youth helmets, one of which received Snell approval. Although the new models are hot, the 2004 models returned with new colors and graphic styles.



FX-10

This full-face helmet is one of the most popular in the line. It offers a washable hypoallergenic nylon interior as well as sufficient room in the ear cavity for speakers. Its quick release side covers make it a convenient choice as well. The scratch resistant, UV coated face shield is another option riders rave about. For the choosey rider, there are six optional face shields for this model. This model sells for around $70.


FX-51

This helmet offers many of the features the FX-10 offers including the hypoallergenic plush nylon interior, the scratch resistant face shield, and ample room for speakers in the ear area. However, in addition to those features, it also offers removable cheek pads, which offer a better and more comfortable fit. This helmet sells from $80 to $130, depending on the graphic style.

This half-helmet is perfect for the daily motorcycle rider or cruiser. It offers a zip-out neck and earflaps, a 3-snap smoke visor, and a square type D-ring with chin strap holder. This is a comfortable helmet that most riders cant do without. It sells for around $60, making it extremely affordable.

These are just a few of the AFX motorcycle helmets in the 2005 line. There are over thirty-five in all. Check out these affordable and reliable helmets if you are looking for something hip and safe. You will not be disappointed.
