just picked up my KBC radiation, the absolute markdown prices online are just awesome deals right now… I figure for near $40 it cant be beat (and I don’t want someone’s second hand sweaty helmet for the MSF in 90F heat that doesnt fit right and makes me look like a bobblehead hahah)…

anyone else run KBC’s??

I have the same exact helmet, can’t beat the price!

I have a CL-15, a more basic version of that IS-16. I really like it. Snug but comfortable fit, good construction, reasonable amount of venting.

I love NewEnough for gear as well…their reviews and fitment guides are the best out there.

I’ve been eying that IS-16 myself, I really like the idea of the internal sunshade. It sucks putting sun glasses on with my current full face. And with the shade built into the helmet you never have to worry about forgetting them.

I hope then that they tinted the shades in that model then they did on the IS-33. Otherwise you will still be putting those sunglasses on. Gonna stop by car store today and pick up some tint to darken mine.

Ever since I’ve discovered the SHARP rating system I’ve stayed away from a lot of brand of helmets including KBC. By the way, KBC doesn’t actually make their own helmets. Their Shells and EPS’s are sourced from a company that supplies all of the lower priced helmet brands, including HJC. I discovered this while talking with the manager at a Cycle Gear.

IMO if you’re not willing to spend $300 on a helmet then there’s really only one helmet brand you should be looking to: Scorpion. The others just rate too poorly in crash tests for my tastes. That being said, I think I’m gonna be sticking with Shark helmets from now on because of their ability to consistently make helmets that rate AT LEAST a 4/5 stars on the Sharp crash test scale.
