good day guys! tanong ko lang kung merong may 1st hand experience dito na na-semplang at zeus modular ang gamit? i know it's a bad thing that happened, pero to live and tell about it can be of great help to current owners and future zeus modular owners. i know mas safe ang full face, pero the convenience of a modular is truly tempting. TIA!

sir......hope this helps:)

bilis sir ah, parang chat, hehe! salamat po ng marami!

yikes... so pag open-face lalo pa unsafe? gusto ko pa naman sana magpalit to openface para madali makipagusap hehe :D

bro i crash tested (aray ko) my zeus 508 modular twice. yung una slide ako tumama sa road yung left side ng face shield (visor) gasgas lang hindi na basag.

just a proof na ok nag quality ng zeus....my friend elmerG who is also a forumer here had an accident last week...his Zeus 803 had deep scratches all over...it saved him from fatal head injury....

Sir, question po. Ano po ba ang differences ng modular at full face? pag tinitignan ko kasi site, magkamukha naman eh.

yung modular napi-flip po yung half ng face shield nya..yung full face hindi po naiaangat ang kalahat ng face shield..

my bro. was involved in an accident (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTP8NoBIsU8) last April... caused by a f**king, st*p*d, drunk pedestrain who crossed a no crossing portion of Roxas Blvd. :angry:
t'was a good thing my bro. was wearing his safety gears, which he does everytime he rides. Not only did the helmet save him from serious injuries but his (armored) jacket and knee/shin pads as well... he was using a Zeus508W that time...
Mind you, my bro was also wearing a reflective vest as an extra precaution during night-time driving...

based dun sa binigay na link ni col. ted.... hindi rin pala maganda yung 508, buti na lang natingnan ko yung link.... balak ko pa naman kumuha ng 508...

thanks sa lahat ng nag-reply. the reason i put in the title na "crash tested" ay dahil iba ang first hand experiences ng mga taong meron nito vs. theory.

@col.ted: napakalaking tulong ng link na pinost mo. extensive ang testing na ginawa nila at mapapa-isip ka talaga kumuha ng zeus modular.

pero tulad nga ng sinabi ng ibang nag-post, na-save sila ng zeus modular nila. di pala ganun ka-safe ang modular helmets, pero since may evidences na magpo-prove otherwise, its really up to the buyer kung bibili ng modular, zeus man yan o shoei.

nakatulong tong thread na ito sa akin at sana sa mga future modular helmet owners din. galing talaga ng mga taga-MCP! MORE POWER! be safe! salamat!

merong isang thread dito dati, na nagcrash yung rider, suot nya ay zues na 506 ata, basta zues sya na half faced... nag shatter ang lens ng helmet, if i remembered it correctly, into sharp pieces pa at nagkaron sya ng mga malalang sugat sa face because of it... parang nag slide ata yung rider sa pababa at palikong daan, head ang unang tumama sa pavement...

A GOOD SET OF EXAMPLE... Dude What is your brother's bike pala?

correct me if im wrong pero mas safe parin ang full face helmet with dot/snell seal compare to the modular helmets.
pag sudden hard impact kasi bumubukas yun front side ng modular helmet tendency pwede magasgas yun maganda mong face.
convenient lang po gamitin ang modular helmet kung crusing/city driving lang pero kung bakbakan medyo unsafe.

afaik, sa legal circuit race bawal ang modular helmets.

just sharing my inputs... ride safely!

tama po si sir jomed dyan, mas safe parin po ang fullface kahit anung accidente. and my tendency na matangal at umangat yung front side ng modular.
i have fullface and modular helmets too...
kung tipong mga ride lang at di nag mamadali pwedeng modular, pero kung dadaan ka sa mga major roads ang hiways mas maganda ang fullface mga sir.
i had a friend naka fullface na zues helm, tinamaan sya ng elf na truck sa intersection with no lights. tapos naka go sila. grabe tama sakanya, pag kakita naman dun sa helmet nya wasak ang visor right side, kung dala nya yung modular nya for sure sigurado baka bumukas yun. as i was saying depende po sa impact yun. yun nalang nag cruising lang sya tapos biglang may bumanga sanya.

anywayz im a zues user rin, kay kung g2 nyo modular, doubleng ingat nalang ang always pray.

ingat mga bro!:*

helmets as long as certified, will protect us in some ways. pero ang tunay na malaking factor sa rider safety is his manner of riding his bike. mapa half, modular or full face ka man, kung kaskasero ka at barumbado sa daan hindi ka ililigtas ng helmet mo pag maaksidente ka kahit dot/snell certified pa yan. kaya i really believe our gears are just secondary when it comes to safety... defensive and smart driving pa din ang malaking factor. i wear 508w and an armored jacket pero i respect my gears' capability. i am aware na less protective ang modular and yung mesh jacket too, so i keep in mind to drive defensive at all times. meron kasi ako nakikita full geared nga pero akala mo kung mag maneho di sila masasaktan pag naaksidente kasi naka gear sila. to the threadstarter, basta certified yung helmet tapos combine mo na lang ng defensive driving ok na din... pero kung afford mo other gears mas ok. ingatz! :)

i think fedaplus' bro was riding a vespa px150...

please correct me if i'm wrong.:)

total ang bike pero helmet nagagamit ko ngayon just changed the visor.
I thought bumukas nga yung helmet, but it was glass that made a cut on my chin.

Modular ang zeus ko but tested ko na rin na matibay sya nung nag slide ako.....di naman kumalas noon yung visor nya....pag lagi mo naman cgurong minomonitor yung sikip ng screws nya ay di basta bastang kakalas yung visor nya....opinon ko lang po....

one of our clubmates had a painful crash test for the zeus 508W. he hit a safari head on (humampas yung mukha nya sa grille nung safari) at marcos hiway sometime this february and i'd say the helmet saved his life. his motorcycle was wrecked, and the rider sustained some bodily injuries (was brought to the hospital). (BTW: the helmet sustained only deep scratches on the lens, and the modular part didn't go off)

since he had a very good experience about the zeus, he still prefers to wear a zeus modular helmet nowadays.

sir, just a piece of advice. since your helmet served its purpose already, why don't you dispose of it and buy a new one. I think a helmet is good for only one impact and that's it. Time to replace it with a new one. Suggestion lang po. Wag sana MAGTIPID sa safety gears. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

wow, daming nag-reply! thanks to everyone for taking the time to give their $.02 worth on this matter. i'm gonna buy a helmet real soon and the zeus 508/508w is definitely on my list. dami palang na-save ng modular helmets nila. lalo yung isa na head on with a safari (grabe, wala kang ligtas dun, ang lapad nun eh). its good to hear na this helmet holds its own kahit na di ganun kataas rating nya. well, for me, pwede na sya kasi unang-una, certified naman, tapos affordable, convenient at subok na ng mga MCPers. again, maraming, maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat at malaking tulong ito sa pagpili ko ng helmet (pipili pa ba ako, zeus na!).

ako rin teseted ko na yung Zeus 508...

approve sa akin... hehehhe

basta mataas lipad ko nun... gasgas ang inabot ng helmet ko...

yup inisip ko din yon,
but its my judgement call, i inspected the helmet, inside and out and all i saw was paint scratches and on the visor (from sliding face down)
so i think ok pa sya.

Thanks for the concern.

Just a concern, I sometimes see riders wearing modular helmets flipped-up while driving fast along EDSA. I think it will be much safer if we kept it down unless we stop for a break or moving very slowly.

And I strongly support chrome8's advice, its VERY dangerous to use crashed helmets. Baka di obvious yung mga tama sa shell since matigas sha but no matter how expensive a helmet is, I think it needs to be replaced.

:)

amen to you kakaroth nice explainationssss!!!

ZEUS:clap: :clap: :clap:

yes, ang helmet once na involve na sa crash ay dapat palitan na. kahit wala kang nakikitang gross damage sa helmet ay nagkaroon na yan ng microscopic damage. sa next time na ma involve yan sa crash ay mas mahina na sya than the first crash. so ang advice talaga ay pag nag crash ka na sa helmet mo ay dapat huwag mo ng gamitin yun. dapat palitan na ng bago.

i think fedaplus' bro was riding a vespa px150...

please correct me if i'm wrong.:)Mismo Chief... Btw, he has since then bought another Zues580W to replaced the one that he crashed on...

mga bros,

basta ako ayaw ko subukan i-crash test ang helmet ko, kahit di zeus! parang crash test dummy ang labas mo!..hehehehe .... tama na ang DOT and SNELL ang mag-patunay.... ingat lang mga bros!

zeus helmet, saved the brother of my friends life, kasi ung zeus hindi sha mashadong hard tamang tama lang sha na pag nag impact hindi sha sobrang tigas para mabali ung leeg mo at di sha sobrang lambot para nmn mawalan sya ng silbe. tama lang sha na mag brebreak at the impact thus absorbing the vibrations insted of ur head. dapat po palitan nyo na yung helmet nyo pag nag survive impact, f u buy a new one try nyo tangalin ung cushion tapos styro makkta nyo meron shang internal crack =)

just got a glossy white 508w from action hobbies. pwede! relatively magaang sya at malamig din pala sya sa loob unlike some other helmets i've tried. na-tempt ako mag 2000a kaso walang glossy color akong type at mejo naco-claustrophobic ako sa full face. btw, talaga bang mejo pit-pit ang cheeks nyo sa loob ng helmet? di naman nakaka-ilang, iniisip ko lang kung talagang ganun ang fit ng 508. yung fullface, parang lalabas lahat ng ugat ko sa mukha, hahaha! thanks MCPers and to sir arwin of action hobbies!

ako im using a zeus 803 full-face helmet. 1,800 pesos lang po sa exceed. i had a spill nung sunday and it obtained minor scratches lang sa left chin area. malapit lang desination ko kaya i forgot to strap it properly (never safe po!) but hindi naman sya natanggal sa ulo ko after 3 rolls sa kalsada. im glad i did not settle for really cheap helmets and i thank mcp for the knowledge that i obtain sa mga forums. kaya kung malaki makuha ko sa comprehensive insurance ko most of it ay gagamitin ko for a riding jacket and a better zeus helmet... 2100a
