Caberg V2

[dextersaurus]

What are your views?

I like the sun visor and the price is pretty good for a helmet which has good a reputation

The only thing that is putting me off buying one right now is the whole noise thing.

Apparently they are really noisy, but i ride with earphone/plug in anyway so it shouldnt matter. should it?

looking at this one

clicky

Cheers

Not sure about the V2 but I can tell you the Trip is noisey as hell. Great looking helmet but I would not recommend it without ear plugs.

I'm very happy with mine. Had it for a year now, with no problems; the noise really doesn't bother me too much.

Hey,
I've had a Caberg for a couple of years now and must admit its been a great helmet.

The flip down sun visor is brilliant, and something I will be looking for in my next helmet. No need to pull over and faff about getting sunglasses out and putting sunglasses on; just flip the slide at the side of the helmet and you have your sunglasses.

Wind noise is a problem, but if you want to preserve your hearing you should be wearing ear plugs anyway! Tinnitus is no fun.

I've worn this helmet for well over 400 miles in one sitting and its been very comfortable.

For the price you cant really beat it.

Cheers,
Shaun.

I wear a V2R Zonda. Good lid but i don't like the seatbelt type fastener. It hasn't leaked and is easy to dismantle for cleaning.
The cheek pads do squash over a few months so make sure you get a proper fit when buying (obvious i know)
The sun visor is fantastic...
wind noise....well this is my 3rd lid so comparing it to the FM and Shark its an improvement.
would i buy another? probably not, i'm still searching for my ideal helmet

Noisy, but not as noisy as my previous lid. As a glasses wearer, the sun visor is great. It's comfortable, well made and a decent price. When the time comes to replace it, I'd still have a look around but would happily get another.

hi, i have a caberg v2r zonda helmet, had it for a yr and its a great helmet.
noise is a problem but i always wear earplugs so its fine. its very light and comfy compared to my agv!
inner sun visor is very good but only complaint is ive broken the outer slide mechanism and i cant seem to be able to get a replacement without buying a whole new inner visor!!!

all in all tho its a good buy. 7/10 from me

I really liked my Caberg V2r, really comfy lid. yes they are noisy I had mine mainly when on a ped and even noticed it on that.

It stood up well in a crash too went head first into the front wheel of a car, it took all the impact and only broke a clip holding one of the vents on, of course the polystyrene is buggered , but is good would recommend one.

Although now Im after a new helmet, I would buy another but i want something patterned rather than plain and I don't like any of there patterns to boring.

I've had mine for a couple of years now and can hardly fault it. Sure it's a bit noisy, but if I haven't got my choons to listen to I'll be wearing earplugs anyway.

If I needed another lid tomorrow I'd probably buy the same again!

i've got a caberg, and the flip down visor is brilliant.

Not got alot for comparison in terms of noise, mines fine until i look to the side then the wind starts roaring.

Saw a shop on t'internet selling smoked, mirrored and iridescent flip downs for them.

[cammy mack]

the only fault i have with my zonda is that the rain runs down the inside of the visor

not too handy at night

I've got a Caber 104 V2 helmet. It's comfy enough and the inner visor system is handy as mentioned. I don't know about anyone else though, but I think it has a awfully big 'chin' on it - similar to a motocross helmet. I was considering a new one but only for the looks to get rid of the big 'chin'.

I have the Caberg V2R RAZR(maybe? not sure on exact model) and I'd agree with all others here:
Fairly noisy, however I use mine without the added plastic/rubber bit that goes in under your chin...at least I think that's what it was for.
Internal sun visor is excellent, although when you pop it down you'll realise how dirty you main visor is because you won't be able to see jack sh*t
The micro-latch system on it is quite good, I'm useless with bike bike gloves on and fiddly little things flummox me quite badly but this micro-latch is easy to use with gloves on.
The main visor is soooo easy to detach that even I can do it without smashing it.

Overall I'd say they're and excellent value lid and very good quality for the money.
