Caberg Tourmax X - Sarabe Matt Gun / Black / Red This is my second Caeberg Tourmax. I decided to change after 4 years of touring and camping use to keep inside the manufactures safety guidelines.
This helmet has everything I need. Most importantly, it's a comfortable fit as soon as it comes out of the box. It's a flip front which in my opinion is a great advantage for quick stops for photos, fuel, a drink or low speed riding through towns in higher temperatures.
A very useful sun visor and peak help with the glare in different circumstances and a quality pinlock visor is also included to stop visor fogging.
I think its a very stylish helmet with great field of vision and good looking graphics.
I've worn this helmet for camping trips all over the UK in every kind of weather. For a 2 week camping tour through the Alps in 40°c for 8-10 hours a day. No issues at all.
We can all pick fault with the slightest issues, but:
I know it's comfortable for what I want. It does everything I want and it's affordable. What's not to like?
Highly recommended.
Caberg Duke Evo - Indy Matt Black / Gun / Grey Quiet, very comfortable and good wind break.
Caberg Tanami - Gloss White the helmet is a good fit for me size xl, reasonably quiet , as adventure helmets go this helmet is stable with no buffeting compared to my ls2 explorer on a windy day , I’m not sure the visor is as clear my ls2 has I think they called it optically correct visor and when it’s clean you hardly know it’s there , the tanami visor isn’t as good, and when used with drop down sun visor clarity gets worse still. The sun visor does operate nicely and as far as positioning goes it’s the best I’ve ever had , most sun visors sit in your eyeline and it’s very distracting this one sits in the perfect position
Caberg Tourmax X - Matt Black I must have spent a good 6 months looking for a helmet replacement for my aging Duke 2. I've always had Caberg so I wanted to try something new. But nothing at any price point fits me better than a Caberg it seems.
So for the Tourmax X, I would say it's mildly higher on wind noise than the Duke 2. This might be caused by the peak as I'm yet to try it without. I was missing the alternative short screws to run it without the visor, but SBS wasted no time getting those from Caberg for me. Amazing service as always. It also came with a damaged pinlock which, again, SBS replaced in just a couple of days.
All flip-ups are noisy, so I can live with that. Ventilation is good but not too breezy for winter riding either.
Caberg flip-ups have a much shorter cheek padding area than most, which is great for comfort, but does make me wonder how that would play out in an impact. That being said, it has a 5 star Sharp rating, something that can't be said for many helmets much more expensive.
I love the price point. I can have 2 or 3 of these for the same price as a single Shoei or Schuberth.
It's worth noting that, although this helmet is basically identical to the Duke X but with a peak, it has the advantage of coming with a Pinlock 70 rather than a 30 on the Duke X. The difference in visibility between the two is huge, so it's well worth paying the extra for the Tourmax X even if you don't want the peak.
Caberg Riviera V4X - Alpha Matt Black / Anthracite / Grey This is my 3rd riviera, original was white, 2nd matt black and I must admit this is the best looking one. Great fit, medium, and a very well finished interior. Light and comfortable for daily use, great helmet!
Caberg Duke 2 / X Visor - Road Legal Top product to replace my old visor received it a day earlier than stated very pleased & not for the first time.
Caberg Duke Evo - Move Black / White / Red Cost and the quality of the helmet
