Over the course of a number of hours and some dozen path miles, I had little to say concerning the Deflectr RLS, which is exactly what you need in a motorcycle helmet. In different phrases, when a motorcycle helmet is effectively made, it’s one thing you must overlook is there.
Apart from the odd alternative of strap (which, as I discussed, I bought over rapidly), the one knock I’ve is how the Deflectr RLS is, as of this writing, solely provided in one among two coloration choices: matte black or metallic olive. Whereas these are each cool and all, these of us who trip beneath the brutal southern solar know the worth of a white or light-colored helmet.
The pattern helmet I used to be despatched got here in a very attention-grabbing blocky black/white coloration combo that each appeared cool and went a bit additional in preserving the temps round my cranium down. Right here’s hoping there are extra coloration choices on the horizon. Based on Canyon’s web site, the large vents on the prime of the Deflectr, mixed with the massive consumption and exhaust vents work in tandem to maintain your head cool. Nonetheless, typically, within the lifeless of summer time, white generally is a rider’s greatest pal.
Based on RLS, the Deflectr is simply the primary in what is going to quickly be a line of motorbike, motorbike, climbing, and even building helmets. And at simply $160, it’s considerably simpler on the pockets than a few of its modern high-end helmets, which might simply run into the $300 vary.
