Very reasonably priced helmet and stylish too, KBC clearly make helmets with the motorcycle community in mind AND at an affordable price. We took a look at their entire range and all seemed to be at a very affordable level.
Awarded three stars in the SHARP helmet tests in 2008.
Helmet performed very well on our test in windy conditions with good noise reduction and comfy too. Front air vent is easy to operate with gloves on but the rear air vent is not so easy to adjust whilst riding.
