Great Value
Bought this for my wife as a 2nd helmet option as she already has a half helmet. This is typical KBC quality. The graphics are even better in person. She loves it. And the price was unbeatable. Typical A+ service from the Superstore, too

For the price...
Can't complain much given it was very inexpensive, however there's a couple of things I'd like to point out. On the positive side, it's comfortable and a perfect fit. However, it gets very noisy and lets a lot of air in if going over 45mph- felt like I needed to wear sunglasses underneath the visor to stop squinting from the wind getting in my eyes. Quality-wise it could be better but the Snell rating is what sealed the deal for me. Brought it as a "disposable" helmet to use at the track but instead I'll be using it for slow cruising rides.

I received the helmet as a gift so i can get my motorcycle endorsement and the helmet was very comfy and I hear the cost can't be beat.

I got this for my girlfriend, fits my GF perfectly, ventilation is not enough for a hot humid place like Miami during the summer, I have no doubt that during other seasons will be fine. Great padding and good features, for the value is unbeatable.

Girlfriend loves it
Bought this for the GF so she could come riding. Small fits her perfectly and she loves it. I rated it low on the features and air flow because there aren't many gimmicks and there is only one vent that opens, but then again I don't wear it. I'd give it a 6 for cost benefit, it's a great bargain here on Motorcycle super store.

KBC - Tarmac Max Helmet
This KBC product is a nice looking, good fitting and nicely priced helmet. I would recommend this helmet to others whom are looking to purchase a new helmet for themselves or even to use as a second/back up helmet for passengers to use. I bought this helmet because it is a good product that was affordable for my needs.

Great Price for a decent helmet
I bought the kbc tarmac max as a backup helmet to my shoei RF-1000. Although the quality of the KBC is nowhere near the standards of my shoei, it is quite adequate for my needs. I got it because the liner is removable, a feature my RF-1000 doesn't have, so I can get my cheaper helmet sweaty without worry, something not possible with my nicer helmet. The KBC only has a couple real ventilation openings which don't seem to do much. Most of the air comes in through the bottom of the helmet. Fortunately I got this helmet for summer riding in Texas in which case it seems even the best ventilation seems to leave me drenched in sweat. All in all the tarmac is A LOT more solid feeling than most other helmets in the $50 price range, the liner is comfortable and removable, it is SNELL and DOT certified and it just feels like it will protect your brain in a tussle with the pavement. I'm very satisfied with the helmet and I'm glad I found it at such a good price.

Great helmet for the price
It's been a perfect 2nd helmet for the occasional passenger. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some of the more expensive helmets, of course, but it's very comfortable and serviceable.

I wanted more protection than my 3/4 and found this on sale. Very secure and great fog protection. I feel very secure with it. It is somewhat quieter.

I like it a lot! It is my first helmet and I like the fit. Don't buy by the size but by the measurements. (I was a small for other helmets I tried in the store, but got a medium for this one). I ordered it on Wed and got in on Monday :)

Great helmet for the cost. Motorcycle superstore great to work with.
The helmet fits great. It seems to be pretty breezy or lots of air flow, but I come from using mostly snowmobile helmets so it’s a different feel. Motorcycle superstore is fantastic!! The helmet shield came with a couple small scratches on the inside of the shield, motorcycle superstore replaced the shield at no cost to me and made remedy of the problem quickly. Great service! I am very happy with my purchase; I ride wearing the helmet 4-5 times per week.
Tony M
Chattanooga, TN
Very Satisfied
This is my first street helmet. The inner padding is very soft and fits very well. Vision is excellent. The chin strap isn't soft, but not uncomfortable. The helmet whistles and makes wild noises when the face shield is up. Airflow is great and wind noise is acceptable. I highly recommend this helmet. A steal <$100.
Lisa
Rapid City, SD
Awesome Deal
Got this helmet on sale for $49.99. What a great buy! Sizing instructions were true, Medium fit like a glove. Not quite a fan of the mouth cover as it causes the helmet to heat up too quickly if the visor is down. Great ventilation when going at faster speeds. The color and style is gorgeous. All around great first helmet for the price.
Brian
Madison, AL
Breezy
I bought this originally as a secondary helmet, but it has now become my primary. For the price, I feel that it is a pretty decent deal but you can see definitive quality differences between this and much more expensive helmets. The reason I wear this one more then my first helmet is because it has much better airflow and keeps my head much cooler. However, that also makes for a louder ride which for short rides won't be a big deal but can be for longer rides. The portion of the helmet directly protecting your face is really close to your nose and chin, but otherwise for the price I think that this is a solid deal.

The helmet was delivered as promised, great packaging, on time. The fit is a little small, I wear a L in most helmets I could have used a XL. The fit and finish was better than I expected. Snell and DOT approved at a great price, I will order again. Great prices, great service.

Great helmet, at a great price, from a great site
I bought this helmet for my girlfriend to go along with her ICON Team Merc Stage 2 jacket I just bought from this site. They look great together. I got her the khaki jacket, and the white helmet, looks great together. Although there are not many airvents on the helmet, as a passenger helmet it does the job quite well. She loves the look, and it fits her well. I have bought many things from this site and have been happy with them all. I will continue to buy. How can you not with such great closeout deals?

KBC Tarmac helmet.
Absolutely fabulous deal. I am a novice, so I haven’t worn a lot to compare to. What I can say is it looks fantastic, fits great and its SNELL approved. For $50, it can’t be beat. They did get another $30 or so for a tinted visor, but still a great deal.

Couldn't be happier
I desperately needed a new helmet that fit properly. My hand-me-down KBC TK7 was a bit loose fitting, and my open-face was just not cutting it on the highway. I saw this helmet on clearance in my size, and bought it instantly. The fit is perfect, and it feels great going down the highway. My old helmet had a bit more control over the airflow, but that isn't a big deal for me. I definitely would recommend this helmet to a friend.

Bought this helmet at a great price, if fit very well, I bought a small for a female rider and it fit her very well. It’s a basic helmet, nothing fancy, but the interior was up to par and the padding is substantial. Very nice helmet for a very good price. I would recommend it.

Great helmet!
The sizing chart really helped me out. I wear a 6 7/8 for my beret so I got the smallest size. It fits perfectly and it looks great! I also like the no fog visor and the air flow is great and really appreciated since I live in FL. This helmet is definately worth it and the price can't be beat!

This helmet is a great buy and looks great. Shipped very fast. Not a cold weather helmet, because it lets a lot of air flow through the front. I have a Shoei that I use for the winter times but this helmet feels lighter than the shoei.For the price I don't think you can beat it.

Great Helmet!!!
Picked this up about a month ago. Good fit and nice looking helmet. The wind noise that other have spoken about is minimal at best. I wear foam ear plugs and or my iPod with no real unbearable wind noise. I like the airflow system on the helmet I have yet to have the shield fog up, even in the rain. Good helmet at a great price!

KBC - Tarmac Max Helmet
It is very good helmet, is approved by DOT and SNELL, the ventilation is little poor, warms up/ hot, is very light, looking great, your head is looking very big. You can observe the size placing the KBC next to another brand helmet equal size, the kbc look like 3 sizes bigger. Awesome for the "sale" price.
Todd

Great helmet for the money!
This helmet is a wonderful helmet for the money. It has great looking graphics and fits nicely. The cheek pads are nice and soft, but the air deflector right at the nose is bothersome. I just took it out with no ill effects!! DOT and Snell approved at 50 bucks!!! Couldn’t pass it up!! I give it an 8 outta 10!

Decent helmet for a great value.
I've owned this helmet for a couple of months now and it is a great helmet for the $50 I paid. Paint and finish look nice. Comfortable liner with average cushioning, although it seems to not be very stable. It also fits well. Anti-fog shield works great with 0 cases of fogging. Quick release is ok but after a while, it seems to get harder to use. Ventilation is poor. Although it states it has twin air intakes and rear exhaust, it definitely does not. Those metal pieces are for looks only. The only intake is right under the nose which aids in anti-fogging. It also tends to be noisy at higher speeds due to the opening in the chin. But overall, a highly recommend helmet for the value but probably not one to keep for more than a season or two.

Go figure.....its 50 bucks!
I usually don't go by the theory of cheap things being cheap. But with this one, I will. I got mine with plastic pieces falling off it being held together with hot glue!!! So I called motorcycle superstore and are going to take it back. I will probably buy something else. The colors and all look good. Fit is good. It’s smaller than the Icon helmet. I have both and they are both medium but this one looks smaller than the icon. I read the reviews and said hey why not. But I didn’t catch that it’s a good helmet for the price.... I don’t know if I would risk my head in it. Nope....I won’t. Spend a little extra and save yourself. Motorcycle superstore took it back...no questions....no hesitation. I like this store.
Kelley
Redding, CA
Great helment. bad plastics
I really like this helmet it fits pretty snug, but I like my helmets really tight. So I could go a step tighter. It's not too hot, great air flow. The plastic button on the other hand is not as strong as the rest. This would be great for a first helmet, or any small female. The tarmac is great for its price also. I'd recommend it to anyone

The wife and I both got these and we went from AGV to KBC mainly because of the great deal...I was worried, cause I’ve never seen or put on a KBC helmet...boy was I surprised. The fit is spot on, and boy is it comfortable!!! And you can’t beat the price!!!! FAAAAAASSSTTTT shipping!!!

CARSON CITY, NV
GOOD HELMET
GREAT GRAPHICS BUT STARTED TO CHIP AFTER A RIDE WITH SOME BUDIES AND THERE WAS LITTLE PEBLES IN THE ROAD. SO ITS UNDERSTANDABLE. ITS STILL A LITTLE COLD OUT HERE SO THE AIR FLOW AROUND THE MOUTH AREA IS A LITTLE TOO MUCH, AT AROUND 90MPH IT STARTS TO FEEL LIKE A VACUME SUCKING AIR OUT OF THE HELMET. HELMET FITS GREAT AND I DO LIKE THE ANTI FOG LENSE. I WISH IT CAME WITH A SPARE DARKER LENSE. GREAT LOW COST HELMET.
Brent
Saginaw, MI
A Great, Cheap Helmet
I was skeptical buying a helmet without trying it on first, but this fit perfectly according to the sizing chart. Visor is easy to remove, and the helmet doesn't feel all that heavy when I was wearing it. Airflow is pretty good, but it warms up pretty quick when you aren't moving. The nose guard also bothered me, but it is removable.

For the price you can't beat it, it fits and looks great. I have several comments about how good the helmet looks. Motorcycle Superstore had the helmet to me right away very fast service. The same helmet at one of our local cycle stores was 150.00 compared to 59.95 at motorcycle Superstore, why would anyone want to shop anywhere else. I liked it so much I bought my brother two just like it.

Ok first, this is a nice helmet for the price....but it shoots air directly into your eyes at speeds 45 or more. The fog guard is a nice idea but it bumps your nose because it's too close and not tall enough. Overall it’s a really good passenger helmet! Looks real nice and is for the price. Would not recommend or discourage this product.

This is the first full helmet I have owned so I don't have anything to compare it to. It seems a bit tight to put on but once I have my head in, it isn’t bad. I was able to install my Cardo head set and the mic fits up inside in front of my lips OK.

Kbc tarmac max helmet review
The KBC fitting measurements where excellent. However I needed a massive hair cut when I received this so it was tighter than expected, but now its fine. This had the features I was looking for, but obviously doesn't have all the maximum features. I put 4 for cost benefit because every wants stuff cheaper than they got it! But I thought it was an excellent value because the walmart helmets containing less features cost 30 bucks more money than this helmet.

Is a really good Helmet, where can you find a snell-dot helmet for $50 bucks? KBC fit really well on my head, without the nasty felling in my forehead. The Tarmac is a little bit cheap being Snell and dot....awesome! I think all KBC are looking "bigger" in your head, like a HELLO KITTY HELMET....but is safe for your melon!!

Great Helmet, even better price
Bought this as a second helmet since my VEGA fell off the shelf in the garage. Better safe than sorry. Outstanding fit, great look, minimal wind noise. Honestly, for $50, it can't be beat. Hoping I'll never know how well it holds up in a crash, but being SNELL/DOT certified gives me piece of mind.

Excellent item
Got this as a gift for my g/f and she loves it. The fit is good, she's a small girl 5'4 about 110lbs and size small was fine. The paint scheme and helmet as a whole is very nice looking for the price. I recommend it as a rider's helmet. I have not tried it while riding so I cannot say how it stands against wind resistance and noise.

Great Helmet
This tarmac helmet was actually my second helmet. My first helmet was a nice fulmer helmet, and I thought it was amazing until I got this one. I didn't realize I'd been wearing an uncomfortable helmet until I felt the Tarmac on my head. It honestly fits like a glove, and the padding is extremely comfortable. The anti fog screen works great, and I honestly have NO complaints about the helmet. The only thing I wish I could do would be to have more vents. Other than that, it's a GREAT helmet. You won't regret buying this one.

Great buy on great helmet
We got two of these one for myself and one for my husband black and blue models. We both feel they are lighter than our 3/4 helmets. Quality and paint are nice. Would like the D ring to be in a better spot to make access easier otherwise we are very pleased with its weight and quality for this price. Price had kept us from buying full face sooner. In cold and windy weather I don't notice the elements as much as I did with 3/4 helmet. Very pleased

cheap helmet -cool looks
This is a very good fitting helmet, considering it was ordered online. It also matches the colors on my ST1100 perfectly. With the shield down however, at high way speeds, the air flow noise is terrible. But what can I say, it was only 49.95! Still looks cool though and I wear it every day that I ride local roads.

Very nice helmet but size is OFF!
Very nice and good looking helmet for an unbeatable clearance price. I bought this as an additional one, which it will be, given that even though I went with the recommended measurements, it is impossible for me to put it on and off without pain. Even on, it feels tight: Take one or 2 sizes above for sure. Otherwise, it seems to protect well from the cold, does not fog etc...

Amazing
I owned a helmet before I got this one, and didn't realize how uncomfortable my old one was until I got this one. The fit is absolutely amazing, and as for the cost, I’m speechless. I honestly can't express in words how comfortable the helmet feels on my head, and I know it will make long trips feel amazing. I have full view of the road while I wear it, and the anti-fog shield works great. You will not be sorry if you buy this helmet. It's worth every penny. Simply put: GREAT BUY!!!!!!!!

Good buy
How can you go wrong with motorcycle superstore?I bought this helmet for($79.99)just for a spare.And i like it as much as my shoei($400+).It has a great design and fits well.I added the dark smoke visor and it sets it off.I like the shape and design alot.Comparing weight to my shoei it doesn't seem like that much of a difference.Two thumbs up to superstore and KBC.Cheers!
