MT Helmets

Had to wait three weeks as helmet was a brand new design. Sports bike uk kept me informed off delivery date and arrived on the date. Helmet looks ace with my bike great design and a 4 sharp rating. Can’t fault product supplied

First time buying a MT helmet, was surprised by the quality & fit it’s really impressive & comfortable. At £120 it’s great value meets the latest safety standards it’s also rated a Sharp 5* helmet would recommend this helmet & brand.

The build quality of this budget flip front helmet is truly incredible for the price. The comfort (which is subjective) but for me is one of the most comfortable helmets I have ever worn and I am usually a Shoei/Arai snob. The massive bonus again for me is one of the quietest helmets I have ever owned. The drop down inner visor is truly in a class of its own as it drops down to virtually the whole depth of the opening and is optically perfect and a good dark tint. The cost of a replacement visor is very reasonable when compared to the likes of Shoei/Arai etc. The top head vent really does have an effect on cooling your head without cold spots as some of my other helmets have had. The flip mechanism works perfectly for me (this is my first flip front helmet I have ever owned) and as the helmet is P/J rated it is useful for bringing a little fresh air to the face in towns and slow riding etc. This is my first helmet with a micro ratchet strap and I thought this would be a big negative but in use this is a really easy and non-intrusive system. In my research MT Helmets appear to be made in China but are from designs created in Spain and the paint lacquer is faultless. My Cardo intercom fitted straight in to the helmet although I see that there is a MT branded integrated plug and play system available at very reasonable cost. I bought this helmet and immediately rode over 2k miles over 3 weeks in mainland Europe in 39c heat and was mightily glad I could flip the helmet up to relieve the temps we were suffering. This holiday showed that the helmet coped perfectly with the conditions and showed no discomfort to my head with pressure points etc. The only negative point I could find with this Atom 2SV was that the main visor is not quickly detachable and needs the pivot screws undoing in order to remove and clean the visor. I managed to obtain 2 spare visor screws as I knew that somewhere down the line I would probably lose a screw and that could be a disaster if away from home on holiday. I had to contact Oxford Products who are the distributors in order to obtain the spare screws as Sportsbikeshop did not carry any spares which perhaps needs addressing.
Overall a fantastic helmet which should not be overlooked and the price point is almost too cheap for the features and quality on offer.

The pinlock fitted into the helmet with ease, and the silicone formed a tight seal. About as fit and forget as you could possibly get.

This lid fits me perfectly and is the cheapest I've ever bought before

So I wanted a second helmet as I’ve always had 2. I normally have Shoei. My current is the Neotec2. Fantastic helmet. However, this MT Helmet has an almost identical fit. Not only is the fit good, the finish is good and has the sun visor to. Quick release strap. And it was five times cheaper than my Shoei. What a bargain.
