Why is Elect ro fa s t beco mi ng the "Helm et o f C hampions"? Because a rider who 's comfortable has an edge over a rider who isn't. We keep that in mind at Electro. Not only are Electro helmets light, but they're des igned to put more of the weight close to your head for a lower "mome nt of inertia". Which means you can ride Marty Smith, Tommy Croft (Honda) Pierre Karsmakers. Broc Glover (Yamaha) Marty Moates, Greg Robertson (Ossa) Wayne Boyer (BultaCO) Kent Howerton. Dick Burleson(Husqvarna) longer 'without a sore neck. And because fit is so important, our helmets come in individual hat sizes-we figure 5, M, and L jus t doesn't cover everyone. So when it's time for a better helmet , it's time to see your Electro deal er for a fitting. He's waiting to introduce you to our hot numbers. 818Cbro HELMETS Electrofilm. Inc.!
