Roof boxer desmo review.
The roof desmo is a very clever helmet that looks pretty cool and imposing too.
The best ever boxxer.
The roof always has been in our view an urban style helmet or at least a helmet for shorter weekend rides.
Like the original roof boxer review the boxer v8 is as quirky as they come.
Coming up from the south and gusts were up to 30mph.
It s well finished and feels good quality.
It s dual homologated meaning that it s been tested and approved as both an open faced and full faced crash helmet.
I have only the first generation boxer and the new desmo to compare.
Fit internal shape and liner the roof boxer family including the original boxer the roof boxer v review and the roof boxer v8 review were all riffs on the same basic design.
Sharp 4 star rating.
There were very few changes over the decade or so that the helmet was in production it still is by the way.
It s a helmet for those who love the idea of an open face but who accept that occasionally a full face makes more sense.
They have a good safety rating and owners are generally very happy with them.

The chin guard can be moved from full to open faced positions and back with just one hand.
The boxer v8 range of crash helmets are well built cool looking and incredibly versatile.
It s always been a brilliant concept and this is the ultimate version.
It s hard to believe that the roof boxer was first unleashed on the world way back in 1995.
