It’s not often that we can report on a new 5 star crash helmet being revealed. But hot on the heels of the five star results for the Shoei X Fourteen, SHARP have announced that the Viper RS1010 has achieved five star status too.
That means it joins a very select bunch of helmets to achieve SHARP’s maximum safety rating – 53 helmets to be exact – with only a small number of those still on sale.
So the Viper’s a real find.
- Full face helmet
- SHARP 5 star rated
- Carbon fiber shell
- 2.9lbs (1.3Kg) – that’s light
- On sale for around $250
The Viper RS1010 is a carbon fiber full face helmet that weighs in at a lightweight 2.9lbs. It has all the usual features you’d expect in a top-rated crash helmet in terms of multi-point ventilation, removable lining, double-d ring fastener – but no real bells and whistles beyond that.
Thing is, you’ll be getting a SHARP 5 star, carbon fiber, lightweight helmet that is being retailed for under $250. That’s a steal.
We’ll bring you more on the Viper RS 1010 as and when we hear what owners think about it.
