First Helmet Ever . . . and it's AWESOME!!!
I love this helmet! Although it can be said that this is my first ever helmet and I'm just fresh out of riding school, it doesn't take away from the fact that it was very functional, stylish and comfortable. I used it in riding school and got some good remarks about it for the looks. The flip-up feature made it easier for me to put on my eyeglasses after putting the helmet on. The vents kept me cool in the Hawaiian heat. When the riding instructor asked the group to gather around for some instructions, I could easily flip up the front for more ventilation without taking off the helmet. Wind noise is average so consider some ear plugs. The helmet seems a little big because of the “moto” design where the chin bar extends a little more forward, but this also give you more space between the front of the helmet and your face.

Easy Flip Up Helmet
This helmet looks great! I also got the mirrored faseshield which looks awesome on it and functions very well. The helmet is very comfortable and the flip-up function works very smoothly. My only real complaint about the helmet is the air noise due to the joint between the stationary and moveable part of the helmet. I have a windshield and still this noise is pretty loud. Of course it is significantly less at 55 than it is at 80+ mph.

I got it at a extremely discounted price. I bought a
medium, then a small. The medium fitted okay, but I thought
I needed a better fit. The small felt better (it was tight
at first), and I gave the medium to my son. The modular
design is very convenient. I like the unflashy appearance.

Very nice helmet for the price paid. Very well made and fits well. The only complaint came from my wife who finds it heavy compared to her solid full face.

Excellent construction and fit. The helmet fits snug as it should and quite comfortable. Ventilation ports provide adequate air keeping the wearer cool. A bit noisy at higher speeds but as expected. Nice to wear and excellent design with graphics for appearance. Will buy a second one for spare or passenger wear.

KBC - FFR Modular Envy Helmet
I'm not a fan of helmets of any kind. Yes stupid, crazy you can call it! Still I purchased the bucket thinking I might wear it in the summer heat going across the desert and maybe through the winter! So far it has and still is the novelty lid, not for skidding, banging, just to keep the Peace Officers off my back for not wearing anything! Over 35 years of luck! Yeah I know! But the bucket is as good as I rated it and will try to wear it one day, the test ride did give me the creeps! It would hold more of me than the skull cap for sure, hoping I will never know! Thanks! I've burned a few of your tires lately and I do run about 30,000 a year on the road the prices have been quite competitive in price! Thanks.

I bought this helmet about a month ago. Was a little concerned that it would fog up, but it has not. Vents keep adequate air flow. It gets a warm when stopped, but I open the visor one click and it is ok. I ordered a large, even though my head size measured more than the size shown on the guide. It fits well and is comfortable. I am quite pleased with this helmet.

Had read other reviews on this helmet and they always seem very negative. Well I really like the way this helmet was made so I gave it a try. The fit is perfect, the noise level was not as bad as I had read, the flip up is fantastic. It stays in place and even when you are riding without fault. I am very pleased and would not hesitate to get another if needed, it is a wonderful modular helmet. Price and delivery were good as well MS took care of all border issues to get it delivered to my front door. Thanks .

Love this helmet
I recently purchased this helmet and it looks terrific! I am so glad that I decided to get this helmet not because of the amazing price but the look and the fact that it is a modular helmet. It is tight but it is still comfortable in a way, the cheek pads are soft, and the texture is good. This is my first helmet and I believe that this helmet will last me for a long while until I decide on another one for my passenger. Thanks Motorcycle Superstore!

This is a good helmet, The easy open feature works great, one hand even with gloves on. Noisy with shield down. Other wise it fits and looks great.

Great for sale price of $80-90
Bought on clearance sale ($80-90) for use this next winter so I have not used helmet much yet (it is summer so I am using 1/2 helmet mostly), that given… Helmet seems secure & well made. Top vent may be a future problem (comes apart fairly easily but doubt that it would while on road). Opening/closing is a bit sticky/rough but this may ease some with use. I have to take my glasses off to get helmet on (cheek area is kind of tight). I bought a modular helmet just so I wouldn't have to take glasses off. Other than glasses issue, I feel I got a heck of a deal via Motorcycle-Superstore website.

Absolutely one of my best purchases this year. This helmet is an outstanding value. Excellent in appearance and comfort, I definitely recommend this helmet to anyone who's looking for their most bang for their buck in a modular style helmet. The closest I could get in a bike shop for a helmet with these features and this quality level was between $159.00 and $179.00 by the way, the service and shipping I experienced was professional and quick-will certainly shop here again. Thanks M.C. Superstore !

I chose this helmet because it has everything I was looking for, flip up, red in color, stylish, and the small fit my female face well and my cheeks were not too squished. The air flow is okay, I keep tapping the top of my helmet when I'm adjusting and closing the top vent.

Nice Fit, Decent Features
This is only my second helmet, and my last was not a modular, so in comparison this helmet is very loud. I don't ride on the freeway much, so it's not that big a deal, but it is something to consider if you are commuting. The fit is very good. I wear eyeglasses, and I can keep them on and put the helmet right over with the face in the up position, so that has been a definite plus. I purchased the white and silver color and the design, which was what attracted me to this helmet the most, is very cool. I bought this on sale and for my money I think this was worth it. I would do it again if I had the chance.

Very pleased!
I was a bit concerned about ordering a helmet online, but I'm glad that I did. I just ordered the size that I normally wear and it fits just fine. It has extra padding at the straps for comfort and I absolutely love the modular feature. My only small complaint is that the air flow can be a bit noisy.

This is a very sharp looking helmet, the colors and graphics were great.
The fit was perfect, and the modular system worked just fine.
The only problem I had with it was wind noise.
After talking with several other riders about them this seems to be a problem with all of the modular type helmets.
Great deal for the discounted price.
Thanks Motorcycle Superstore I will be back!!

Very good,I purchased this as a replacement for the KBC OFS I currently have. I like it so much I have ordered a second one to have on hand. The only thing I wish this helmet had was the quick release that the KBC OFS has. For the price, this one cannot be beat.

KBC Modular Envy Review
Like most modular helmets, it's heavy and loud. It fit's a little looser than my other medium helmets. Great price though. I'd do it again.
Terry
Missoula, MT
A wee bit front-heavy
With the chin-bar up, it feels a wee bit front-heavy. However, I bought this because I was so TIRED of taking off glasses to put on my old full-face helmets (often dropping 'em in dirt in the process) that this is a minor thing comparatively. The fit's good...maybe runs a hair large compared to what I'm accustomed to. I ordered the red, and it almost exactly matches my 1996 Kawasaki Vulcan Classic, so its absolutely STYLIN'!

It is a little on the heavy side, but overall I like this helmet. The fit & finish and airflow are good and having the ability to open the entire front of the helmet in hot weather is very beneficial. Overall an excellent value.

I'm lovin' it!
I tried this on at my local Honda shop (who only wanted $180 more) so I got the right size the first time. Sizing chart seems accurate to me. Fit, finish, appearance and cost are all outstanding. Good weight, not excessively noisy and airflow seems quite adequate so far but we've had a very cool June here. Shipping was incredibly fast. I ordered online @ 5PM (EDT) on the Friday before Memorial Day, at 7:30 that night I had an email that the item had shipped and it arrived on Tues. OUTSTANDING!

This helmet is very sporty looking, and a good fit. The only negative thing I have to say about this helmet, is that I wished it covered your entire chin area.

A Nice Surprise!
I wanted a flip-open helmet at a reasonable price. When online, I found this helmet on sale. It looked good and was offered with a reasonable return policy. My concern was fit and quality of construction. Using the size chart, I ordered one. Well, the risk paid off. The helmet is well made, fits great, and all features work well. I also found that the face shield is not difficult to change once you understand the orientation of the tabs at the hinge area of the shield. An excellent value for the sale price.

Great $90 modular
I needed something to ride my dual-sport on the street instead of using my mx helmet. For $90 you just can't go wrong with this...seems to be decently made, just hope I don't have to find out how well it protects. Just rode around some back roads for an hour and it seems like it has good air flow. My bike has a skid plate so not real sure about noise level. Definitely order a size smaller.

Very comfortable and well fitting helmet, easier to put on than the standard full face helmet. Great looks. I do like the way you can use it as an open face. It is a little heavier than I expected, but I am going from an old open face.
Chris Muscarella
Palm City, FL
Great deal on a really good modular helmet
I'm very glad I ordered this closeout helmet. Excellent fit and finish. Very comfortable. An easy to operate chin bar that can stay up for short rides unlike some more expensive brands. A fog-free clear shield is standard. The helmet flows enough air when closed to work well in our Florida heat, and the shield stays put when partially open for more airflow. Not the lightest or quietest, but close enough that I'd buy this helmet again at list price. Thanks!

Novato, CA
good quality at low price (when on sale)
Fit : The 'medium' size is a bit loose compare to my previous helmets. As other reviewers stated, a bit short on the back of the neck.
Features: Many flipup helmets have a now retractable sun shield this one don't.
Air flow: very good. And quite quiet.
Appearance : very nice in white
Cost benefit : cheap when on sale.
Overall : good value. Solid construction nice look.

No chin protection
Be aware that this helmet does not offer chin protection like a full face helmet (a sticker on the helmet warns you that in case of a crash this helmet will not protect your chin). Otherwise this is an excellent helmet especially with the current discount at $89. The fit is slightly looser than with other KBC helmets. It is very easy to use sun glasses with the helmet, the liner is very well designed.

Excellent helmet for people who wear glasses
I love this helmet. I already had one that I bought about 4 years ago, for about $250. When I saw these on clearance for $99, I ordered one, and when it arrived, it was perfect, so I ordered a second one. It is so easy to put on with my glasses on, and the flip up is very handy at drive up windows, etc.. I now have 3, so I don't think I'll be wearing any other helmet for many years to come.

FFR Modular Helmet
I bought this helmet as I have a Force RR full-face helmet. I bought it in the same size as my full-face. The first thing that I noticed was that the helmet does not come down as far at the back of the head. Felt like it was going to roll back. It doesn’t though but you feel that when you put it on. Otherwise I am happy with the helmet.

KBC - FFR Modular Envy Helmet
I bought the Envy Helmet on sale and it's a real bargain. I was replacing a 3/4 helmet with face shield and the Envy is far superior. Less noise, far less turbulence and a better fit. An incredible value. The only slight down side is it's a bit warm when the temp gets over 80. But that doesn't happen often in northern Maine. Plus the graphics really get attention and positive comments.

About what I expected
I originally bought a large based on owning a large HJC and the sizing chart but it was too big- traded in for the medium. This is my first modular and I like it for commuting and also because of my glasses (easier on and off). Bought this in white for the higher visibility and added the chrome visor- I think it looks really good. A little loud (wind noise) but I usually wear earplugs so no big deal- airflow is really good (very little fogging in 40F+ weather). Seems to be a little high on the neck- compared to the HJC I had B4. I have been using this for about 1 month now and am pretty happy- especially for the $ it cost.

I needed a passenger helmet so a "cheaper" one than the one I have. Pretty much the same features as my Shoei but at the quarter of the price (on sale of course).

mod helmet
For the price, no question well worth it. I was a bit surprised that it wasn't a little more quiet however, nothing wrong with being able to hear while on a bike! :)
Airflow isn't as good as I would have liked. It's May in Texas and it's going to get a lot hotter in the oncoming months.
I'd buy it again if needed in a heartbeat.

Very good modular helmet for the price, have ridden a few hundred miles with it, not as quiet as I hoped, but pretty comfortable to wear. Vent system not to efficient, but keeps the visor fog free. Very nice graphics. All in all would buy it again for the price.

KBC - FFR Modular Envy Helmet
This is my first helmet so I don't really have anything to compare it to but I think this helmet is great! It's super comfortable and the flip up feature is awesome. Very well constructed. Glad I got the full face helmet instead of the 3/4 (every time a bug hits me I am thankful again!).
When I first got it, it felt a little heavy but once I put it on and start riding, I didn't even know I had it on.
I bought this on sale for $99.99 and feel like a got a really good deal. I would purchase from Motorcycle Superstore again. They offered free shipping and I had it in 4 days!
Steve
Ashland, MA
Great Helmet for the money
I have found this helmet to be true to size, well made, the graphics are excellent and most importantly a GREAT bargain. I paid $99.99 delivered which is easily $150 less than any other place I have seen this helmet and over $100 less than any comparable flip-up style helmet. I previously had an HJC Symaax helmet, which was also a good quality helmet, but a repalcement HJC Symaax II would have been well over $200 and I don't think it is any better a helmet. The KBC is definitely quieter than my HJC.
The one area of concern I have is the top vent. It is very fragile and has popped out once from me pushing it open with gloves on. And, I don't think much air flows through. But when the weather is that hot I just crack open the visor to get some additional air moving.
Gary Doyle
Erie, CO
Ecstatic
This flip front helmet is great. It's a little quieter than my ancient Shoei RF108V. My head measures 22 1/4 and I got the medium. At first I thought it was going to be too tight, but now it seems perfect. I put it on in the flipped up position, and the sides flex out much more than in the closed position, so I can leave my sunglasses on.
As much as I like it, it's not perfect. Even with the shield and all vents closed, I get more airflow around my eyes than I like. Even with clear sport glasses on my eyes are freezing when it's in the 40's outside.
My only other niggle is that the flip front doesn't latch securely down. I can push it open on one side fairly easily by hand even without pushing the latch button, and then the other side unlatches. I feel that in a collision it would pop open. I intend to try to modify it myself eventually for more security, but it is a worthwhile sacrifice for me in any case even if it isn't fixable.

Ralph

Good buy
Fits good on my head/face. It has two vents that are supposed to increase air flow but I can't say that I've noticed a difference with them open or closed. Love the modular design, great if you need to clear or put gum in your mouth. There is quite a bit of air flow while moving, I wear ear protection on long trips to keep down the noise. I've gotten several complements on it's looks.

reviewing my kbc modular envy helmet
I love the light weight of the helmet and the quality of the helmets features. I was disappointed in the fit of the helmet even with the measurements being double checked the helmet is a little loose. it still will pass your fit checks, but it just feels a little loose to me. I have 3 other helmets and they are all size medium. I checked this helmet out at a local helmet shop and the size small is very tight. As a whole though I am pleased with the quality of the helmet. Your store service is wonderful. I will definitely buy from you folks again.

KBC-FFR Modular Envy Helmet
I have the exact helmet w/ghost flames off the shelf at H-D $275 + tax. I bought this for back-up replacement or if I need the guts down the road. The sale price $89.99 was a no brainer. I bought the CHROME & the GOLD shields recently from the Superstore @ $27.99 each. A bargain, same shield at H-D $40 and the Gold was not available there. I own 5 helmets now, 2 half, 3 full faces and they all make a little noise, and half helmets make a lot of noise. Do I recommend the MC Superstore, what do you think?...s/f Jack

KBC-FFR "ENVY"
I've used my new KBC helmet for about 6 hours now. The fit is definitely more secure than my previous helmet (HJC Symax). It seems to be a little breezier and generates a little more wind noise than I expected. The anti-fogging works great and it's more aerodynamically stable than helmets I have owned before. Mine is red and it has elicited many positive comments - it looks good!! As with all items I have purchased from Motorcycle Superstore, it was a great value. I am very pleased with this helmet.

One Great Helmet
I read many reviews of many Helmets in various price ranges and features. I'm very happy with my choice of the KBC - FFR Modular Envy Helmet. The graphics are superb. The Helmet feels cheap when you first pick it up because it’s so light weight. But it is a very strong solid Helmet. All the mechanisms work great. Opening the front is awesome. Best idea since ice cream. The fit is snug with great strap position. My head measurement fell at the top of the Medium range. Previous reviews said the Helmet runs a little large and I didn’t want to go through a return so I took the Medium and it fits great. For the extra fifty bucks over the low end models I think this is a great buy for the money.

Not Bad, Not Great
I needed a helmet in a hurry and bought this one. Right out of the box I liked the look and it seemed to fit pretty good but after riding with it for a while I realized I should have spent a little extra and got something a little nicer. The vent on the top broke after about a week so I can't close it. There's a lot of wind noise inside which is distracting. I like the bottom vents better they do the job pretty good. Overall it’s a good looking helmet that flips up but the next full face I buy I'm going to go for something a little more high end.

The modular is great because on hot summer days you can raise the front up when you stop for a few minutes, Going into a convenience store where you are in and out quick you don't need to take the helmet off.
