Thecityslums website too good to be true?

Anyone dealt with this website before. They have some great deals on Helmets just looks a little too good to be true. Hesitant to press the trigger on a new lid. Thanks in advance

A new Arai Tour-X4 for £127? Yeah I'd say it looks too good to be true.

If it's not, I'm ordering as soon as I get home!


Can't find any company details on the site either, or am I missing it?

I have searched for any details or reviews/complaints but can see nothing. For a hundred quid it is almost worth a punt, however how would they have all sizes and nobody shouts about it?

I've asked a friend of mine to take a look. He's far better than me at this stuff.

I'll let you know what he thinks.

Yep, it's a scam site :

Looks too good to be true
T&c's are cut and paste from helmet city
I've emailed helmet city to ask them if it's legit
Will let you know what they say

Confirmed that this is a scam site
No link with helmet city whatsoever

City Slums website is a scam, they claim to be in Britain but in checking into it the out fit is being run from China... Don't order from them..

I suppose the scam is in getting your credit card details and what they might do with them.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
