MT Clear Max Vision Pinlock Insert - MT-V-35 Only slight issue is it sometimes gets water behind it after a long ride in the rain
MT Streetfighter Inner Visors - Not Road Legal Excellent item, good tint makes lid look super cool
Good service from SBS as usual
MT Atom 2 SV - Destiny Matt Black / Fluo Good helmet for price, fits week, store staff were really great at helping me find right size and providing advice
MT Braker SV - Crazy Teddy Gloss Multi I own five helmets, all different brands — but two of them are MT because they simply fit my head perfectly. A built-in sun visor is a must for me, and this helmet delivers. Some of my other helmets cost much more, yet each has some kind of flaw or is missing key features.
The MT Braker SV, on the other hand, ticks every box for me — and at a great price too. I always check helmet safety ratings on the helmet saftey scheme before buying, and I’m pleased to say this model scores highly, which gives me extra peace of mind.
Overall, it offers comfort, features, safety, and value all in one. Highly recommended.
MT Atom 2 SV - Destiny Matt Blue / Black I’ve previously had Caberg helmets for flip front due to wearing glasses, but having read reviews for this helmet I’ve given it a go. XL size is a snug fit but having only worn once I’m sure it’ll ease in.
Flip front is easy to use and the visor and smoked visor are really good with smooth action and locking. The same goes for the vents which are easy to open and close when on the move.
Wind noise isn’t terrible, I’ve worn louder helmets but wind noise is a given with any lid unless you’ve got a bike with a large screen.
Overall, after one use I’m pleased so far, looking forward to using it more once the warmer weather lands.
MT Braker SV - Cockpit Matt Black Fluo Looked at this particular lid due to the MCN review; glad I did! Everything about it shows a quality product, well designed and thought out. The visor removal system is one of the simplest and fastest I've come across. Just remember to budget for a Pinlock insert if you're so inclined.
MT Targo - Veneris Gloss Blue The helmet is great quality tight fitting
