Went to Daytona's website. They still say they make the "World's Smallest & Lightest D.O.T. Approved 1/2 Shell Helmet Ever Made!!"

Converted helmet weights from Daytona's site. This Akoury claims to be less than 640, while the Daytona claims about 690 regular and 660 for Carbon Fiber. 'Course Daytona listed weight for each size so a Carbon Fiber small was 635 and thus under the 640 Akoury is saying. Akoury is saying less than though, so what size did Akoury measure to get the sub 640 number?

 

does anybody own a daytona that can chime in and let us know how small it really is?
im debating which to get now daytona or ak88

 

That's great that they'll do that but at $25 per shipment - quoted shipping price from their website - that would add up to be one very expensive helmet fast...

I contacted them via email and was informed that the DOT requirements were the same for the states and Canada. Take that for what it's worth. They did not specify what requirements it meet specifically (FMVSS 218 or something else).

 

I have both an Akoury AK-88 and also an Akoury Terminator helmet which I ordered from allforbikers.com and I am really happy with both. These are without a doubt the lowest profile DOT helmets I have used. I also have an Outlaw Polo, Lick's NovDot and a Bell Drifter as well as a couple of full-faced helmets.

Your head fits inside these helmets as opposed to being perched on top, they are extremely light and they stay put; no lifting, choking etc. Both are extremely comfortable. The youtube videos on the the allforbikers site are made by Bernbo who lives in British Columbia, and he is not affiliated with allforbikers.com but is just a guy who rides who gives an honest opinion. His review is spot-on.

My Ak-88 came with a different quick release than on Bernbo's video and my Terminator came with standard D-Rings. I live in Ottawa Ontario and you can buy these Akoury helmets in a few local motorcycle dealers, so they are definitely legit. The DOT cert is painted on , not just a sticker. I ordered mine from the allforbikers site and they are located in Montreal.

The sizing chart on the allforbikers site is accurate. My quest for a low-profile DOT ended with these helmets. Let me know if you have any questions.

Edit -- the interior is definitely better made than my Outlaw Polo. The Outlaw on the inner top of the helmet is just the hard foam liner with a small piece of soft foam where the shell contacts that top of your head. Not very comfortable. If anyone wants I can post some pics.

 

I will be ordering one before I leave Africa. Hopefully it will be there before I get home. I was just about to post a question about these helmets and y'all have answered them and help me spend more of my money AGAIN!!!!!! Lol thanks guys

 

My wife has been using a NexL (no longer in business) DOT helmet for several years and bought a Daytona Cabon fiber and while the same size as the NexL it sits more like a mushroom top on her head compared to the NexL. Bot the NexL and Daytona at least when compared to the picture of the AK88 are larger than the AK

 

Have you seen a pic that shows them in the same pic? Or comparing an AK pic to what you know the size of the NexL and Daytona to be?

 

When I called two days ago the guy that answered the phone said he is the one who designed the helmet. So I would say you are right that all for bikers owns Akoury.

 

I do and it's horrible. The Daytona is nicely made but serious mushroom head

 

I am thinking about ordering the Terminator and would love to see some pictures of it!
