New System 7 Carbon helmet in the US?

[jeffshoaf]

I don't think the previous BMW helmet with removable chin has been available in the US. Any word on whether the new one will cross the pond?

I have not heard any rumors of the System helmets being sold in the US.

System 7 Helmets

Noticed that a Canadian dealer with an online store showing the System 7 Helmets has a disclaimer that the helmet can't be sold or shipped to the USA.

Just go over and pick one up. That way you will know it fits.

System 7 Helmets

I was talking to my local Canadian dealer about a System 7 to replace my aging System 6. He told me that whereas the System 6 was made for BMW by Schuberth, the System 7 is being made by BMW, allegedly as a part of some carbon fibre technology that BMW has acquired.

He said that the new System 7 helmets tend to fit smaller than the same sized System 6. Might be something to think about if ordering online.

I'd find it hard to believe that BMW, itself, is actually making helmets.

This seems to corroborate the story.
