Great helmet.

I was sceptical about buying this helmet but I tried it on and it's very comfortable and looks great. I ended up buying two of them for myself and my wife. The price was also pretty good. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking to buy an open face helmet.

Great value retro

Bought during the sales, mostly for the DGR in May. It's Jan now, so have not worn it in anger yet, but fits well. It has lost 1 mark as I have noticed that where the visor meets the pleather trim on the side of the cut-out, the trim is already damaged. Still, for the price I am pretty happy.

Subtle and functional

Good quality product just right for classic motorcycles with a functional visor that enhances the products safety features. Size is true so no going up or down to suit.

Budget Retro style fighter pilot-ish
17 October 2024 by Andy M
I've only had this lid for a couple of weeks and I've worn it half a dozen times on short rides in fine weather.
Firstly, let me address how I see this helmet working for me;
it's been built to a budget and I use it as the lid to wear when I'm riding my old 60's Bonneville on sunny Sundays and for local bike meets. typically, these rides are safe and moderately slow on roads I know well.
The helmet itself is super light, the padding comfortable, yet thin and the lining is a non convincing faux leather. I like the compact lining, it keeps the shell size small, so its fits closely around your bonce.
The visor works surprisingly well, but isn't so great if you leave it up at speed. I haven't scratched it yet, but obviously it's quite vulnerable. The strap and buckle system work well and easy to adjust.
The helmet looks great on your head, it's quiet-ish for an open face, and I can wear my glasses without them getting bent. Sizing was a bit odd for me, I have a 60cm head, and I ended up with a medium, which initially was a little tight, but as the padding settled in it seems to fit perfectly well.
In conclusion, this is the helmet for relaxed dry days, perhaps with like minded bikers out on a retro ride,- recreating that 60's vibe.
I would not use this lid for my regular riding or commuting in busy traffic.
It goes without saying the service from SBS in Milton Keynes was excellent as always.

Great value, good fit
14 August 2024 by Martin
Great fit, looks good quality for the price with a nice soft comfortable leather lining.
As I wear glasses some crash helmets don't accommodate the side arms but no problem with the Axor.
Ordered for try or buy in my nearest store, usual excellent SBS service.

1st open faced helmet
11 August 2024 by James
If your looking for an open faced helmet and never had one like me, this is an inexpensive way to try one out. Fits to size and very light weight, feels and looks like quality. The visor does very little over 50 mph for wind protection so glasses would be a good idea.

Great low profile fibreglass hemet
12 July 2024 by Martin H
Well made low profile open face helmet that's light and low priced. I've tried quite a few different helmets but a lot have too big a shell that makes one look like an alien from Star Trek! However no complaints regarding this one and excellent service from SBS.

Good for the Money!

Bought as a one off wear for Distinguished Gentleman's Ride and wasn't disappointed. Great price at £45, looks pretty good for the money and It did what I needed it to! Will tuck it away in the cupboard for next year as prefer a full face helmet for everyday riding.

Very Cool and functional
15 May 2024 by Adrian C
I wanted an open face helmet for cruising on hot summer days and this fitted the bill perfectly. Very light and comfortable. If it had air vents to keep the top of your head cool it would be 5/5. Super value as it was in the sale. Accurate sizing. Superb service from SBS as always. I wouldn't buy from anywhere else.
