this is a point that has been raised in DW numerous times and the answer stays the same no matter how many times its asked if you want a more detailed explanation try a search but basically the tests different, the construction is different a motorsport helmet is built to take repeated impacts instead ofwhat maybe a single impact
and the acu gold test is pretty much a useless bit of paper (IMHO) due to its alleged abuse in the past by manufacturers of cheap (crap) helmets
we do not put these rules in place to make you spend money - they are there for the drivers safety
