Product Description
KBC VR-2R Helmet

The VR-2R, KBC’s flagship model, is a true race helmet. Designed for aerodynamic airflow and stability at high speeds, the VR-2R platform features reduced shell dimensions and overall size. The eye aperture, strap positions and shell ergonomics have been fine tuned to provide increased peripheral vision, improved head maneuverability, reduced neck strain and dampened wind noise.
  • Shell: TRI COMP Shell constructed using an advanced Vacuum Lamination System, resulting in a lightweight helmet.
  • Ventilation: DUAL-INTAKE VENTILATION SYSTEM(DiVS), efficiently draw, circulate, vent and control airflow providing ultimate comfort.
  • Shield: QUICK RELEASE VISOR PLUS(QRV+), optically correct, scratch resistant, anti-fog shield utilizes a tool-less QVR+ system and seals securely when closed to the helmet’s RIB system.
  • Interior: ULTRALUX liner is an ultra-soft easily removable and customizable padding system, offering premium cushioning and moisture wicking properties. Combined with Airnet Gauze, a micro-fiber material integrated into the front and rear of the liner, promotes optimum breathing and circulation to deliver maximum comfort.
  • Retention System: Double D ring chin strap
  • Safety Standard: Core comprised of high density, impact absorbing EPS. Meets or exceeds SNELL/DOT standards.

Xavier Burlingame,  CA decent value but not for commuting The first thing I noticed was how difficult it was to put the helmet on. After months of break-in it's easier but putting it on and putting sunglasses in are still tough. Never felt this way about my other helmets. This helmet is noisier than my old-model Shoei RF800, especially when i look to the side! I notice very little difference in airflow with the vents open or closed, which is fine in cool weather but little help in the heat of summer. Quality wise it's not great - a light bump on the top of helmet and now 1 of the top vents won't open/close anymore. The chin strap is so long I have to fasten the end or it start slapping my neck - was never a problem with Shoeis or HJCs. All that said, removable interior panels are impossible to find at this price.

Ivan NY,  NY Good Helmet for the price First of all, I bought this on a closeout deal for $50. I can tell you that the quality of the helmet is pretty good. It's very light also. The only problem I had was a low frequency whistling at certain speeds. I noticed that it could be fixed if you moved your helmet around a bit. Overall, it's a great buy at the price. I am not sure if I would buy it full price.

Randy San Jose,  CA Good helmet Good fit, nice visibility. Lots of air coming in. DOT and Snell. Whistles when the visor is up and going > 25 mph. Lots of wind noise when going > 55 mph. Definitely recommend ear plugs when hitting highway speeds. I don't feel air coming through the chin area, but still very noisy. Quick change visor feature is pretty slick. Good helmet. But not great.

Craig Lakewood,  CA I love clearance pricing...and the helmet, too. I was very glad to get a great helmet at a close-out price. There's a little bit of wind noise between my collar and bottom of helmet, but reasonable.

Caleb San Diego,  CA Great helmet! This is a great helmet for the price, or even twice the price. I have had it for about a month. The only issue I have had is the shield already has a large scratch. Matte finish is cool.

doug Seattle,  WA KBC VR-2R helmet First of all for $75 this was a good deal. That said quality is an issue. A top vent came unglued. Like others have said, it’s noisy at speed. Looks like it was sprayed with a rattle can. But it works and I'll leave it on my bike unlike the $500 helmet.

Steven Escondido,  CA KBC-VR-2R Helmet I bought this helmet for my wife now that she has agreed to try ridding (as a passenger). Not knowing if she would call it quits after one ride, I didn't want to spend too much but wanted a decent helmet for her and I refuse to use/buy used helmets. So.... for the money, this is a very, very nice helmet. The finish is excellent. It could use a little more ventilation. I wear an Arai so I am comparing it to a very expensive helmet. Very pleased with this helmet, especially considering the price.

Bob Ft. Walton Beach,  FL KBC VR-2R Helmet This is a great $150.00 helmet so the $80.00 I spent was a great buy. Ventilation is excellent, and the anti-fog works well, best of any helmet I’ve had. I just did a 3000 mile trip with this helmet and with ear plugs, was very happy with it overall.
