High quality helmet.
It's a high quality helmet for the price. Good appearance.

Good Overall Helmet
The helmet is tight in the cheeks, and allows a lot of air flow from underneath the chin. I always wear earplugs so the noise is not an issue. It has clear view with no distortion, and the visor hasn't scratched once with repeated washings. Overall 8.5 out of 10. Excellent price though for such a nice helmet.

Not bad.....
This lid is very warm for the Central Valley of California... most of the time I couldn't tell if the vents were opened or closed. The anti fog treatment on the inside of the shield was difficult for me to clean on the road....it picks up fibers from my microfiber towel and holds on to them very tightly making vision difficult. Fit is good for me... I would buy another at the discounted price if I needed it.

I like it
Looks good, fits great. Visor tends to fog up a little when I stop for anything longer than a red light. Stays clear when at speed. Very noisy with the vents open though.

The helmet fits a little tight, but is loosening up the more I wear it. Has a little wind noise but bearable. All and all a great helmet at a fantastic price.

Not that great
This helmet isn't all that great. I thought it would be a step up from my old full-face helmet. It is not because of a few reasons. First, any replacement shield will require changing the part that holds it onto the helmet and makes the tool less, quick-change; impossible. Also, the helmet is loud and has an irritating wind-whistle at 60 mph and above. Earplugs or headphones will be a must with this helmet. The airflow is good to the point of dust and debris blowing into my eyes.

Nice Helmet
While I would say the fit is very good, it is a little difficult to position my glasses. The KBC graphics are stunning compared to anyone else. Air flow while moving is very good. At a stop I open the visor slightly to prevent fogging. Visor remains open in any position with easy operation. Very light weight and easy to turn head and look behind at speed.

VR-2 helmet
The best deal with this helmet was the price. The helmet looks great and fits well. I'm not sure if the front vent control actually works though - seems the same open or closed. At higher speeds the helmet tends to want to lift on my head - but I suspect that any helmet would do that due to the rounded top (air wing effect). Overall quality for the price is still great.

new rider, 1st helmet
I took a riding course to get my license. I bought this helmet before the class. I tried on several at a local store to take out the guesswork. This one fit best. The price on this site was excellent.

KBC-VR-2 Racer Helmet
I liked this helmet so much, I ordered another one. The color and venting work to keep my head cool. It also gives a quiet ride. It runs a little small, so if you are wondering which of 2 sizes to get, get the larger.

Further input.
My initial review (see below) was a bit premature, as I now have a few new 'issues' with the KBC VR-2. 1)The ordered dark-smoke shield isn't compatible with the OEM clear shield ratchet system (different ratchet design & side plates). Thus, the quick-change shield system is rendered useless - Unbelievable! Additionally, unlike my TK-8, the rather thinly-padded, perforated forehead liner leaves my forehead red and heavily pock-marked after just a short ride. I've been totally enamored with my KBC TK-8, but this VR-2 experience leads me to look elsewhere for my next helmet purchase.

Excellent value, but...
...unfortunately the VR-2 Racer has some flaws. While the fit is generally good for me, it's not nearly as comfy as my KBC TK-8 Galaxy, and I had to remove the nose/breath guard as it rubbed against my nose. KBC's quality control seems to have diminished since my TK-8 was made too, as there are a number of small imperfections in the finish, etc.

Bang for the buck
Hot weather not a problem. The helmet has good ventilation and good comfort not a bad deal and looks good too.

What a great deal!!!
First look out of the box and you know it’s a quality helmet. Nice graphics and finish. Fit was a little tight at first but after the first ride it fits true to scale. Wind noise is no issue. KBC quick shield change system is tooless and very easy. I will buy KBC again.
