Seven hot flip-front helmet bargains to tempt you this week
Flip-up lids are spot-on for year-round riding but come into their own during the summer months and particularly if you’re off exploring and touring. A choice of styles is available and if you can track down one that’s dual homologated, it can be worn as conventional full-face or flipped into the open-faced position.
We’ve searched the web for some of the latest deals, and lid specialist Helmet City have great offerings such as this flip-up at attractive prices. Made by French helmet firm Shark, the Evo-One 2 is a steal at just over £200. It’s dual homologated and has a thermoplastic shell, there’s a dropdown sun visor, the quick-release visor comes with a Pinlock anti-fog insert and the lid has a seat buckle strap. It comes ready to fit a Sharktooth intercom and has a five-year warranty. Various plain colours and subtle graphic options are available. Plain colours start at £209.99, saving a very welcome 40% and graphics are on offer at £269.99. www.helmetcity.co.uk
