Best selling Bauer bucket?

[60PlusWinger 82]

What Bauer helmet do you have? What did you try on that became the runner up? The Bauer store locally said that the two best sellers were either the Re-Akt 200 (go figure) or the Re-Akt 75 out of all of them. I see 4500, 5100, IMS 9.0, ReAkt Pro VN, ReAkt 100 and 200 in pro. Probably missing a couple other models. Thinking of going with the 75 even though some fit similar, not better or worse just different. Gave that 100 a go and the Suspend Tech whatever feels weird on my head.

The two that fit my head best were the ReAkt 75 (which I ended up buying) and the CCM Resistance 300. I didn't bother with the top end ReAkt although it fit well too, it was priced significantly higher and I could not discern an appreciable difference between it, and the 75. This was a little over a year ago FWIW, the Reakt 100 and 200 were not out yet.

Is the buying decision really hinging on which one helmet sells the best, and not which is comfortable and within the budget?

Nope just a discussion about best sellers and what people actually prefer.

What is the end goal of this discussion?

Howdy,

I have a R-Akt 200.  Review is in the reviews section.

I like it quite a lot, but there's no argument from me that its pretty stupidly expensive.

I've been wearing a 7500 for the last 6 years.  Been very happy with it, other than the well documented glue issue.

When I was a kid the best new helmet was the Bauer 5000.  I begged my dad to buy me one he did.  When I was in college I bought another 5000.  Since then I have replaced it with the 4500 and it fits my head like a dream.  Way better than the 5000.  I have used a 6K which was alright.  I have tried on Re-AKT 75, Re-AKT, Re-AKT 100 and IMS 9.  If Bauer discountiuned the 4500 and I couldn't get one I probably would go with the IMS 9 which felt the best of my head.  Still not as good as the 4500.

I do not wear one anymore (I'm in the Tacks 310), but I'd say the 4500 is the "best selling" helmet. I was in 4500 style since they were Cooper back in the 90's, and only started shopping around in the past year. I didn't like anything Bauer was offering but love the Tacks. Swayed me away from the 4500.

I have a Bauer 4500 it fits and does the job...

Re akt 75 here.. it’s actually the first helmet that fit my head as nicely as CCM ht2/652 and Itech hc95/hc100
