KBC Racer-1 Motorcycle Helmet Owner Report
KBC Racer-1 Motorcycle Helmet Owner Report wBW Visitor “K.S.” from Taipei, Taiwan reports on the KBC Racer-1 Retro motorcycle helmet:  “The Racer is very similar to the VR-1 in many ways. Some of the key differences include styling, and the side shields which must be pulled and spun before the tool-less shield is removed, but after …
KBC VR4R Carbon Fiber Helmet Review
KBC VR4R Carbon Fiber Helmet The new KBC VR4R Carbon fiber helmet is a real beauty. It’s also about the least expensive carbon fiber motorcycle helmet available today. But the design is somewhat compromised by flimsy-feeling vent hardware, which is unfortunate and something KBC needs to address. I’m not sure exactly when carbon fiber motorcycle …
KBC Tarmac Helmet Review
KBC Tarmac Radiation Motorcycle Helmet The KBC Tarmac is the most basic helmet offered by KBC. But it’s comfortable and it includes some interesting features. It also feels solid with good build quality. It meets both DOT and Snell safety standards, rare at this price. It’s New Year’s Eve and this will be our last …
KBC Force RR Review
KBC Force RR Motorcycle Helmet Visitor feedback tells us that KBC helmets are ultra-popular — every time we review one, you ask for more. We reviewed the KBC VR-1 (review), the KBC VR-2 (review), the KBC VR-3 (review) and the KBC FFR (review) flip-up. But that wasn’t enough; now you want the Force RR! No Problemo! But…I’m not sure why there …
KBC VR-2 Helmet Review
KBC VR-2 Motorcycle Helmet I guess I’ve become the de facto KBC reviewer. As soon as we posted our recent take on the KBC VR-3, the emails started pouring in, asking about the KBC VR-2 “Mirage”. We originally thought that the VR-2 was similar enough to the original VR-1 that it wouldn’t be worth the effort of …
KBC VR-3 Review
KBC VR-3 Stealth Motorcycle Helmet It seems like ages ago since we posted a review of the KBC VR-1, the first of KBC’s “VR” series of motorcycle helmets. The VR-1 put KBC on the map as a motorcycle helmet manufacturer that offered high-end features at rock-bottom prices. Our conclusion was that the VR-1 offered “excellent value for …
KBC FFR Helmet
KBC FFR Helmet Review Flip-up motorcycle helmets seem to evolve at about the same rate as the motorcycle foot peg. We keep thinking that the market for flip-up (aka modular) helmets will take off any day now, and we’ll see light weight, quiet flip-up helmets that meet DOT, ECE 22.05 and the Holy Grail for …
KBC VR-1 Helmet
KBC VR-1 Helmet Review Excellent value for the money. Meets DOT, Snell 2000 and the tough Euro EC22/05 or BS6658 Type A ACU approval standards. The VR-1 is comfortable and lightweight at 1621 grams. Airflow through top of helmet is slightly weak and the helmet is also a bit noisy. The latest issue of a …
