I am looking to buy a KBC Force RR helmet are they any good ?

I have the 1st airborne edition, and it is an allright helmet.  Having moved on to higher lid, one can tell a difference mainly in wieght and comfort.  I found that on my KBC the visor mechanism got a lil shagged from normal use.  I would not buy another one, but all in all it was not a bad lid,

I have 2 KBCs, the VR1 which is a very very entry level helmet.  It's light windy and very noisy but comfortable and has a good fit all around.  I also have the KBC Racer 1 (not sure that they make it anymore and I'm not sure what model replaced it) but it is eons better then the VR1.  The padding, the fit, the comfort, everything is better.  As close to a more expensive brand as I could tell.

I think they make a great product at a great price.  I just recently bought a Suomy as I wanted to try something new but that's probably because KBC dropped the Racer 1 model that I liked so much (I bought 2 racer 1's and crashed in both of them, never a problem).

I have the force rr airborne 2. Its alright I would say, nothing phenomenal, about what you would expect for the price. All the vents make a fair amount of noise at speed, not too annoying though. I don't trust it as much as my AGV. I bought it mainly because I fly and the nose art graphics appeal to me. I wear it when I have a passenger using my everyday lid. Its right over here in my avitar <---

fits true to the sizing chart fyi.

Thanx for the replies, I am looking to buy the KBC as a everyday commuter type lid so as not to wear out my much more expensive Arai
Have fitted one and the fit is nice, don`t know about the durabillity and noise though.
