The roof desmo is a very clever helmet that looks pretty cool and imposing too.
Roof boxer desmo review.
It s not for everyone and while its looks may be polarizing it is a popular helmet with webbikeworld readers and many owners throughout the world.
They have a good safety rating and owners are generally very happy with them.
Like the original roof boxer review the boxer v8 is as quirky as they come.
It s well finished and feels good quality.
Coming up from the south and gusts were up to 30mph.
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.
The chin guard can be moved from full to open faced positions and back with just one hand.
Sharp 4 star rating.
The boxer was dropped several times nothing too drastic more like desktop height and accidentally externally doused with gas once.
This roof helmet might not perform quite as well as a dedicated full or open faced helmet but they re not far off.
It was a good day to have a real world experience for review of the new roof desmo.
I have only the first generation boxer and the new desmo to compare.
It s dual homologated meaning that it s been tested and approved as both an open faced and full faced crash helmet.
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.
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.
The best ever boxxer.
