    Kbc Helmet..

    Hey Guys and Girls...

    My 7-8mth old Kbc helmet started falling to bits a month ago...

    And is now not wearable as the visor is doin crazy things..

    Anyone else had problems with Kbc ?

    have had mine for over 2 years and the bottom of the lining is starting to rip, but not really worried after all that time.
    Its all about the game and how you play it.

    I bought one of the first VR1's in Christchurch 2002. Initial impressions were of a high quality outer shell and good comfort. 18 months down the track bits of the lining started to fall apart. Fortunately i had the facilities to repair these problems. I still use it but only as a commuter keeping my 4year old HJC Cymax (and not a single problem) for touring.
    would still look at one as not all brands (eg Nolan) fit my head.
    To anyone that ever told you you’re no good… They’re no better.

    Sheeeit.
    Was looking at getting a KBC...good features and cool-as graphic too.
    Although some of the reviews have pointed out the dodgy visor mounts...
