BRAND:
Kbc helmets combine stunning graphics with the
latest technological developments. Kbc helmets products are precision engineered
to deliver supreme comfort, outstanding fit and unrivaled performance. Attention
to detail and an intensive development program ensure that all Kbc helmet
products meet and exceed the incredibly strict American SNELL standard. Be sure
to consider the Kbc Tour Com helmet which is designed to fit the Tour Com
communications system.
SELECTION:
Kbc helmets offer a wide range of helmet designs; there is an option for just
about every rider. The Kbc Ffr modular helmet is one of the best in the industry
with great graphic designs available and a solid latch mechanism. The shape of
the Kbc Ffr is particularly aggressive compared to most other brands. The Vr 2
and Vr 3 are Kbc helmet's standard mid range model while the Kbc Force Rr offers
an aggressive top vent ventilation system. The Force S, Tk 8 and Tk 77 round out
Kbc's full face offering with conservative styling and graphics. One of the best
selling Kbc helmet is the Tour Com which is specifically designed around the J
and M communications headset.
FIT:
All Kbc helmets fit very comfortable with a true street fit. They do not fit
snug but their aggressive aerodynamics make up for the looser fit by splitting
the wind stream. This makes the Kbc a good highway speed helmet.
PERFORMANCE: The Kbc helmet is a mid-range helmet offering average street
performance. Although most models are both DOT and SNELL approved, it is not a
track helmet. We recommend a higher performance helmet for track use or if you
like to redline on the highways. We have 'road tested' a few full face Kbc
helmets and they hold up fine under slower speed crashes.
RETURN
RATE: We get an average return rate for Kbc helmets with almost all
returns for sizing. We have never had a Kbc returned to us for warranty
replacement or because a customer was not satisfied with Kbc quality. If your
expectation is that you are purchasing a mid range helmet then you will be happy
with a Kbc helmet.
OUR
RECOMMENDATION: We recommend Kbc helmets if you want a general purpose
street helmet and you are not a high risk rider. We do not recommend a Kbc for
track or high speed street use - the construction of the padding and the
aerodynamics are just not adequate for high speed riding or high impact
accidents.
