Great helmet for the price
I bought this helmet for my son and its absolutely great. The quality is good and the design on the helmet is stunning. My son loves it.

Loved the look of the helmet, but liner material seemed to be of a lower quality than the Force RR I bought a couple of months prior (Also a KBC Clearance Helmet). The helmet also had an awful high pitched wind whistle regardless of vent position. I commute about 25 miles a day in various weather and love the Airborne Force RR which was also <$50.00. I wanted to love this helmet to because the graphics were great but I couldn't.

NOT YOUR PRIMARY HELMET
This helmet is great for $49.00 but not a penny more. The helmet is very noisy. Air comes in everywhere while riding. Even if the vents are closed, air comes in through the face shield (buy lost of eyes drops and chap stick). The helmet is HUGE. Not the fit, the fit is perfect, but the actual size of the helmet. For the price I think it's a perfect helmet with cool graphics to use as a spare.

KBC-VR-1X Hero Helmet
I was a little concerned about the size after reading the reviews. I wear an adult small and the reviews stated that this item ran a little small. It fits very nice. I like the snug fit. Wind noise is not a problem now. The quality of the helmet is great. Very pleased.

Great value and nice features
I purchased this helmet for the unbelievable closeout price of $39.99 and I also purchased the tinted faceshield to go with it. Finish is good with no obvious blemishes. Appears to be well made and should hold up well. I have another KBC helmet that has performed well for me and this one looks comparable in quality. I purchased the same size as my other KBC helmet and this one is a little snug in the face and little harder to put on - you may need to step up a size.

Can't Beat the helemt for the Price
This helmet is a very comfortable helmet it fits great, and vents great. I do recommend getting a tinted shield. Not only does it block the sun but it makes the helmet stand out more.

KBC - VR-1X Hero Helmet
Great helmet, looks cool & very light, venting is great. Fits a little snug, I bought the same size as I had with my old HJC, and the KBC fits tighter, I would order a size bigger next time.

KBC - VR-1X Hero Helmet
Very good value !
Has become my 1st choice helmet for everyday riding.
Still some cold mornings around here and fogging is not a problem - just open the fae vent and all is clear.
Fit is pretty good - a little tighter front to back than my other helmets but still has not fully fitted to my head yet.
Would buy again - very pleased with the product and with Motorcycle Superstore.

KBC Hero helmet more than expected
I am used to wearing Icon helmets, but when I saw this one on sale I decided to purchase it. I had read other reviews about it but wanted to see for myself. The inside pads are softer and more cushy than the Icon's. Icon pads seem to take a while to adjust but these felt great right out of the box. The helmet has good air flow and is just as sturdy as any of my other helmets. This helmet is also a little lighter than my Mainframe helmets, which is nice. All in all it is a great helmet-nothing has fallen and there are no defects as some people said in their reviews.

I was very disappointed that the face shield was not as in the picture (dark) it was regular.

Hero Helmet
Great helmet, fit and finish is good. I ordered the chrome shield with it. The shield took a little work to get it installed, and the vent adjusters are a little flimsy but overall it's a great buy and service was excellent. I forgot to add the graphics are great.

Great looking helmet! The fit was perfect (used the same size as my HJC's as a reference. Graphic's are good some minor blemishes (but I'm a perfectionist) all the other rider's couldn't find the small things and I even told them there were a couple of things that bugged me and they didn't find them.
Overall a great helmet at a great price. I did order the chrome shield and it took a little work to replace it but I finally got it on. The service was excellent and timely. I will be ordering again from them in the future!

It is a great helmet for the price. I bought it as a spare to my Icon. KBC makes a good mid range costing helmet.

Decent helmet for your average rider
Just bought this helmet, Its a bit snug brand new but I’m sure it will ease up once its broken in.
The finish is nice. No blemishes or paint chips.
Durability I rated 3 because the front vent slider is kind of flimsy. You have to slide it up and down straight from the middle part of it or else it will slide up cockeyed.
The features are OK. Nothing too fancy. Just a good helmet for your average non-hardcore rider.
The cost is excellent. I got it for 60. Right now they are 50.
Overall a great helmet if you’re strapped for cash.

kbc hero helmet
I bought this when they had a 24 hour sale for 47 dollars. Not really the color I wanted but for 47 dollars I figured what the heck. I got it and it seems to fit and be of better quality than my $170.00 gmax helmet. Can't wait to use it this summer.

KBC VR-1 helmet
I purchased the large size due to the recommendation of the sizing chart. The fit was excellent around the top of my head. Around the facial area, it was tight. I'm certain the comfort foam will compress after some use and become more comfortable. I was impressed with the finish. It looked flawless. This is my first KBC. I gave it a 4 for durability. In all honesty, I couldn't give it a correct rating, since I haven't had the opportunity to use it.

KBC is my Hero
Cost benefit should be a 6--lots of helmet for a pittance with the sale these guys had. Only a month so no durability issues so that's why the 3. I compared to my Arai and for 1/5 the price the quality is impressive. I wanted to try a "soft" (non-Snell) helmet that was not expensive, this fit the bill and my head reasonably well.

Awesome
I got this helmet when it was on sale for about $50 and in my opinion, it was one of the best deals I've ever gotten. It fits great and is one of the most comfortable helmets I've ever worn.

VR-1x Hero Helmet (low durability rating because I haven't tested that haha)
I got the helmet today and it looks great!! This is my first brand new helmet and apparently...they are supposed to fit tight as the pads will mold to your head. It arrived on time...packaged nicely...even in a nice helmet bag. I immediately put it on and was very happy with it....can't wait to go ride with it!!!! great helmet for the price.

Was not impressed.
Overall, this helmet makes a great passenger helmet, but I would not recommend it for the driver. I love my VR2 helmet, but I did not expect the low quality for this model. I only purchased this helmet because of the low price.
The FIT is dead on.
The FINISH is, well the paint around the air vents looked chipped & the vents looked as if they were not set properly or the glue didn't catch right. Besides that, paint job looks good.
The DURABILITY is poor. I can easily break an air vent if I wanted to. The helmet strap looks and feels like cheap material.
Too much air flow inside the helmet. VERY NOISY! The two vents on top can only be closed and opened from the back. The small mechanism to open or close feels like it will snap off with the slightest push.
The COST BENEFIT is great. Can't beat the price.
