Interbike 2013:  A sensibly-priced Enduro helmet!

Interbike 2013: A sensibly-priced Enduro helmet!

 TSG protects your head – and wallet

Known for its quality – but reasonably-priced – helmets and body armour, Swiss protectioneer TSG has decided to jump into the Enduro fray.  Unlike so many others, however, TSG’s brightly coloured, peaked, and spoilered Substance comes at a price that many riders will be able to justify.

Five colour combinations!

While plastics used likely wouldn’t pass muster on a $200 lid, at $70 the TSG’s peak, spoiler, and extensive shell coverage certainly look the part.  While the new model is not yet on distributor Ison’s website, previous versions sold for £45.

  1. “the TSG’s peak, spoiler, and extensive shell coverage more than pass muster”

    So whose list of muster-passing requirements for a helmet includes a spoiler?

  2. I’ve got the previous incarnation of the substance & it’s a nice helmet (if a little sweaty). No spoiler though thankfully, what’s the point!? Looks like one more thing to get snagged on low branches :-$

    Not really into the blue and orange colour scheme, agree that it looks like a duck!

  3. Don’t want to say it too loudly but… I like it. not in blue/orange but it looks like it has big vents but still good protection. Might go buy one when they’re out.

  4. +1 on the Gulf colors. I spent a long winter on the trainer watching the film Le Mans over and over. To me, that 917 is beautiful- and now linked (in my mind) with cycling.
