Roof boxer desmo review.
There were very few changes over the decade or so that the helmet was in production it still is by the way.
The roof always has been in our view an urban style helmet or at least a helmet for shorter weekend rides.
The roof desmo is a very clever helmet that looks pretty cool and imposing too.
Like the original roof boxer review the boxer v8 is as quirky as they come.
I have only the first generation boxer and the new desmo to compare.
The chin guard can be moved from full to open faced positions and back with just one hand.
It s hard to believe that the roof boxer was first unleashed on the world way back in 1995.
The boxer was dropped several times nothing too drastic more like desktop height and accidentally externally doused with gas once.
It s well finished and feels good quality.
The boxer v8 range of crash helmets are well built cool looking and incredibly versatile.
The best ever boxxer.
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.
This roof helmet might not perform quite as well as a dedicated full or open faced helmet but they re not far off.
It s always been a brilliant concept and this is the ultimate version.
