It's worth mentioning that the Virginia Tech helmet testing lab found this helmet (and its predecessor) two of the lowest rated helmets (215th and 220th of 224) for crash safety compared to other helmets. Meanwhile, the Specialized Mode (a similar-looking urban helmet, with a similar price point) ranked 6th overall. Protect your noggin!
good to know! Though even if it's the lowest rated among the others, realistically I assume it would be safe and protect you in a crash as it passes standard certifications.
Great review! Thorough (and entertaining). I had been hesitating about buying this helmet but all my questions are now answered. They clearly listen to their customers and made significant upgrades to the first version (which I don’t have btw - I have a 20 year old Giro helmet which I should have replaced years ago). I love the helmet’s retro, stylish looks. I hadn’t been planning on adding the rear light but 40 lumens is nice and bright and you can never be visible enough. I don’t shop in the US but will make sure to click through from your review and try to use the code anyway. Thanks for the review, keep up the great work and safe cycling!
This is a great review! I need a new helmet and I have a lot of hair so the different adjustments look to make this much more compatible for me. Thanks!
Thank you for this and for your other videos! Which bike saddle do you use on your Bianchi? Maybe an update bike vid on changes (if any) and other recommendations for riding!
Ill consider it! Biking season is ending soon here 😢 as I'm not a winter snow and cold cyclist. I have added a rear rack and a side saddle, all stylish of course 😉 have some useful accessories for the rear rack. I can't recall the saddle it came with thr bike and I've never seen anything like it it's like some sort of suede ish
That show and tell video wasn't all that popular so I'll have to figure out a better angle to making the video, if you have suggestions I'm all ears! And I looked, my saddle is Selle Italia. Which makes sense as it's a Bianchi. I've never seen a saddle with its type of texture before tho
Hi, I'm deciding to either go with the Thousand heritage or the Outdoor Master...seems identical from the outside anyway. But more importantly, I'd like to have a low profile helmet. Is the Thousand heritage a low profile helmet if adjusted properly?
I don't have the other but I find it Poe profile, I show it in my video and I have a small head so it'll look even more low profile on anyone else. Whichever you decide, come back and share your experience. If it's the thousand, affiliate link in the description :)
for now, this one ua-cam.com/video/ElfYkJu44RI/v-deo.html but they have a kickstarter of a different model I'm looking forward to trying I also use this one ua-cam.com/video/2_bbqzL3MSY/v-deo.html (it's currently locked on my e-bike with the bag to protect from dust)

Just moved back to New York and this is definitely my next pick up for my rides in Central Park, and on the New York City streets! Great review!
Glad it could help!

Appreciate trying to use the code 😊 my god 20 years old that's definitely in need of a replacement :o
I love the bike related videos.
So cool! Thanks for such a thorough review!
Excellent vid! I’m having a hard time pulling out the back adjustable fitting system. I’m afraid to break it! The material is pretty thin. 😮

By far the best review I've seen, and such a great comparison with the older version, thank you!
Thanks 😊

If you judge a helmet based on form over function then this helmet is for you
How is this solely form over function. I cover 20 minutes of mostly function so... Explain.
Sorry, If im getting hit by a bus, I want to look cool af while I’m at it.
@@miguelgarcia6493 ok, great then. don't forget to text your boyfriend.
safety & stylish!
