Advice & Guides Flipfront helmets don't have to cost a fortune. These five belters won't leave you bankrupt...
Customers say this Caberg Duke X is comfortable, well made, and great value for money. The flip-up design and sun visor are easy to use, and the helmet suits glasses wearers especially well. Several customers also praise the quiet ride, good fit, and included Pinlock. A few mention the chin-bar release and intercom fitting can be fiddly, but overall it feels reliable and practical.
Great price helmet at a really good price & a great fit
I had a few specifications that I wanted from a helmet. White, full face with the option for open face, dark visor, comfortable and cheap. These don't usually go hand in hand! I was left to myself in the helmet department and the first one I tried on was wonderful. Shoei, but several hundred pounds! A member of staff asked if they could help, what did I want. I said this Shoei helmet but for £150!!!
They immediately picked up this Caberg. There was a choice of two and I tried them both in my size. Finally choosing the cheapest version. Both were on sale price, both under £200.
Now I've had chance to use it for a couple of weeks I'm even more impressed. It takes a few rides to easily raise the chin and lower properly, but the sun visor half face cover is the best I've ever used, easy to find and use even with gloves on. Well impressed. I bumped into Richard Hammond at Caffeine and Machine and even he liked the helmet!
It fits really well around my smooshy face, and is really breathable lots of airflow and no misting.
Good fit and good product.
Previously bought a Caberg Duke II helmet from Sportsbikeshop a few (too many) years ago. When I decided to upgrade, I went down the exact same route.
Great service/delivery and very well packaged.
Very comfortable and extremely pleased with the helmet -Recommend the lid and the supplier.
The helmet was made well but I found it quite hard to open and close
Nice weight, helmet really comfy with vents and sun drop down easily accessed when wearing gloves
Sportsbikeshop made sure I got the correct fit.
Really nice and helpful staff.
Good helmet feels so comfy.
Generally very happy with this helmet. Does everything I need. Only niggle is the flip up lock is a awkward to use with gloves on,
Fastener under chin seems to be too far to the left making it not quite so easy to release.
I have found it prone to condensation reducing visibility
Easy visor and flip on helmet and sun visor excellent
Excellent value for money. Feels worth more than it cost. Fit was tight at first but this has improved with use. Happy with the purchase.
Tried a few crash helmets, wearing glasses full face didn't work too well, this is so much easier to put my glasses on. Nice fit, comfy and not too heavy
I like the style and locking mechanism on the viser and it's very comfortable. Ideal for winter riding and the pin lock fits well
Got this helmet a couple of weeks ago, came nicely packed and undamaged. The helmet itself looks good and well made, also comfortable to wear. Unfortunately I will not be using on the bike yet as not riding now for a while as wife just diognosed with cancer and starts chemotherapy this week. Can’t risk having an accident and being crocked when I have to drive her back and forth to the hospital for months.
Fits well, not too hot in summer, fairly quiet.
My last helmet was a Caberg Duke, so getting back into it a few years later it wasn't a tough choice. I like a flip front because I work on a site where they check ID on entrance and the flip makes that easy, I also like the integrated smoked internal visor, does a decent job. Goof ventilation, pinlock included which is great too. No complaints at all, what I expected, comfy, fits well, ventilation works, not massive wind noise. Would recommend, good value as well.
A nice helmet for a small bike but if you're on a big bike touring not very nice. I ride a Tracer 7 and the wind noise is bad. The flip mechanism is clunky and cheap and a really tight fit for a medium. You get what you pay for.
Find it cheaper at any major motorcycle accessory retailer, online or in-store and we‘ll match it.
