Track day helmet!

HJC RPHA 10 in lorenzo colors. it was sitting for 2 years, so i talked work down from 600+ tax to 400+ tax. 1/3 of life gone, 1/3 of price off. I’m happy, it fits, guy downstairs got rid of a lid, all is good with the world.

Helmet related question - how much markup is there on helmets in physical retail? The one near me has plenty of “budget brand” lids but they’re the basic lines from brands like HJC and Bell and the like. They regularly hold 30-50% off sales at the beginning and end of season and I feel like that’s when they sell them all. Do they make any money on these? That’s when I get mine and I’m getting one for the girl since a full face HJC is well under 100$ brand new.

I’m not questioning it too much but I didn’t know if helmets were a loss leader or something.

errrr not a whole hell of a lot TBH. Mostly the end of year sales are partially subsidise by the manufactuers so that the old stoick gets moved and it doesnt get old or just sit unsold and un used.

Not too surprising. I wouldn’t be surprised if a no name brand sold “DOT approved” helmets for dirt but outside of Shoei, it seems like most brands had pretty strong discounts for most of their lines.

Is the “colors” the marketing stickers? They should be paying you for marketing if so.

meh. dont care.

I never understood the whole OMG I’M NOT MARKETING FOR FREE LSKDJASKJHDKSJAHDAJK

its a livery. just like painting your car gulf or martini colors. By that extension, is the manufactuer of you car paying you when you drive? you are showing their emblem everywhere.
