A
KBC motorcycle helmet has the reputation for providing wonderful value for
your money. We will look at some details from the VR series helmets to
assess whether they truly are good value or if the old saying "you get
what you pay for"
 holds true once again.
One of the best aspects of the KBC motorcycle helmet is the reduction of
noise level. The VR series KBC helmets are among the quietest available
according to many seasoned riders. KBC utilizes a proprietary sealing
system that makes their helmets very quiet.
Comfort levels are quite adequate. While the VR series KBC helmet may not
by the most comfortable one you will put on, you won't complain too much
except perhaps on a very long ride.
The weight of the KBC motorcycle helmet is
quite suitable for the price. While you may find a lighter helmet, you
will also pay more for it. In addition, the helmet feels very light. When
you moving your head around for a quick traffic check, it will seem very
natural to you.
The sub-par ventilation system is a major reason that this helmet does not
get two thumbs up in the comfort department. KBC helmets seem to have a
reduced airflow compared to competitive helmets. Combine this with a
restrictive wind blocker under the chin and the KBC helmet is a little on
the warm side. Again, not necessarily a deal breaker, but something to be
aware of.
The finish of the KBC motorcycle helmet is average. We have heard reports
of slight flaws in paint and have even seen some of these for myself. In
our opinion, these types of flaws are typical for helmets in this price
range.
There's no complaining about he price of the VR series KBC motorcycle
helmet. It is less expensive than most helmets of this quality and if you
shop around, you can find a good deal. I use MCGearDeals.com. They have a
listing of the best deals on KBC helmets, so I don't have to spend my time
searching the web.
The VR series KBC motorcycle helmet is a great mid-level helmet. Venting
could be better, but superbly low noise levels and a low price tag combine
to make this helmet a pretty good value. I don't think KBC helmets deserve
the "best value for the money" crown, but it comes pretty darn close and
is a worthy consideration for your head. If you can find one on sale, all
the better.
