Have you tried the Lightning pegs ? I prefer them as they are not as wide and the peg is rounder so your feet get a better angle – I found the Uly pegs made my feet sit too perpendicular ( flat ) and were uncomfortable on longer journeys.

Hi Jackie… That’s unfortunate. Have you tried the 2nd key? Also, when you are trying to operate the locking mechanism give the two halves a squeeze together just in case it relieves the pressure on the lock….

Hi Carl

What disc lock alarm are you thinking of? I had a Xena XN14 a year or so ago and got rid of it. It was too unreliable basically. The lock mechanism was very notchy so the key would often jam and then the alarm would go off because it thought it was being fiddled with. It was also too sensitive even though I had it placed on the disc in the least sensitive place.

I ended up speaking the the Xena Managing Director and they sent out a replacement which had EXACTLY the same problems as the original one. The key jamming was the biggest issue….

My advice to you would be to definitely try before you buy

Hi Cermo

Technically, with enough hacking of the helmet liner with a skilled hand I reckon this system would fit in to any helmet BUT it would not be an easy job. This system is only designd to go in to compatable X-Lite helmets.

The problem is that there are moulded pockets inside X-Lite helmets for the buetooth module, battery pack, speakers and microphone. Its spread evenly around the insides of the helmet.

Hi Jim. Unfortunately you have to purchase a compatable helmet and then you have to purchase the bluetooth equipment to go in it. Its a very expensive system initially but you do get a good quality helment with the latest equipment.

Im still really pleased with the features of my system. The limiting factor for me is the iphone im using. It only supports the basic bluetooth functions like start, stop and volume up/down.

The one thing to note though is that music quality is not hifi. Its stereo and very loud but only basic but then you should remember that this is wireless and inside a helmet so it wont be fantastic.

Keep us posted on Fatbiker if you go ahead and get the full kit…

I’ve been looking at the Nolan/ X Lite helmets that have X Series but am a little confused about what I have to buy. Does the helmet come with the system fitted or do I have to shell out for the X Series pack on top of the cost of a compatible helmet?
