Flip Up Helmets

Rock star looks, quality and comfort

I bought this helmet after a considerable amount of research. I wanted a flip up. I wanted comfort and above all I wanted convenience. I was initially drawn to the Shark range but quickly moved to Roof. I guess based on looks. I then learned that Roof were the first to introduce the 180 degree rotating chin. I toyed between the Desmo and the Boxer and was hesitant choosing the Boxer based on review that the Desmo was more convenient to flip. I finally purchased the Boxer -- I'm 100% happy with my choice. Above all the helmet is comfortable and light. The side clips are NOT inconvenient and are a breeze to clip on and off. Don't let this interfere with your decision. I fully recommend this helmet. Finally, the guys and gals at Sportsbikeshop are amazing. Best customer experience I've had online for years!

Safe with style

As I was purchasing my first helmet I had specific requirements to fulfill. Firstly I wanted it to have "Very Good" rating for ALL impact zones tested by SHARP, be a flip-up so I didn't have to keep taking my glasses on/off but still have good visibility, a sun visor would be useful as would some hi-viz/fluoro, along with a bit of cool styling. The Duke Legend met them all along with a build quality and within a budget I could afford. I'll agree with some other comments that the chinstrap angle can initially be irritating against my Adam's apple, but I've got used to it. Also I have a 'small' and on first wearing it the helmet does look big, but I'd prefer to protect what it contains. Sportsbikeshop also gave a pleasingly smooth customer service.

Spot on in all areas

My first Flip up helmet, has all the features you would expect and some extra ones as well. The Pinlock system is outstanding and despite some freezing mornings there has not even been a slight bit of misting on the visor, clear at all times. Purchased the B4+ intercom system and it all slotted straight in no problems with loads of space at the front for the boom mike. Great internal sun visor with easy to use controls even with gloves on. The ventilation is great and easy to use controls to open and close them.
