The helmet Briko Mustang


 

The helmet Mustang is one of the new helmets Briko of the collection 2009. Is proposed in two versions: Carbon, the helmet on test, with a shell with external stiffening bridges carbon which improves the rigidity of the cap and the resistance to shocks, and Mustang standards without carbon inserts, a easier helmet ideal for those approaching the world of cycling, both constructed with In-Moulding tecnology.

Thanks to a removable visor helmet is suitable both for road use and Mtb. The cap is equipped with 24 air vents and to attack the removable visor. Are two internal padding, one with anti-insect net and the system setting called "Roll racing fit", fit also in high and a rpotection for the neck. The colours available are Red Silver and Blue Silver, while the sizes are: M (54/57 cm) and L (58/61 cm). The sealing system is plastic and is equipped with EN 1078 certification - CPSC. The stated weight is 235 grams in size M, we have found gr. 277.



Road test

The helmet Mustang appears well built, with comfortable interiors. Convenient adjustment system on nape, easy to drive even staying in the saddle. The cap is well made and has the characteristic of stiffness inserts in carbon. Unfortunate that the union between the carbon and the cap, at least in our sample is not perfectly connected and smooth, leaving a visible step, not very nice to see. Well made the colour surface, and positive is the adoption of peak for Mtb and anti insect net, both supplied as standard with the helmet (even if not present in the model we tried). The helmet fit is excellent, but above all is perfect rear adjustment system that allows a real and perfect adjustment of the helmet on the head of the athlete. This makes it able to adjust the helmet so that it remains firmly on the head, not just on the road, but even in the most difficult and fast passages in mtb. A very good thing that no doubt enhances driving safety. Excellent the adoption of serial net anti insects, always useful in summer to keep bees or other insects which could be hazardous. The inside of the helmet is well made with a mold, well-kept and with a very comfortable padding even when strong shaking in the helmet. Perfect its ability to absorb the sweat. The ventilation holes are more abundant and remains that the good aeration of the head. Of course uphill, where the speed is low and most of the effort has been very still, but it falls within the normal range. In terms of ventilation, however, we feel that other products are better, but they are also products with a greater number of holes on the cap and also the most expensive product on a trial basis. The test is not destructive, so we have tested the real capacity to absorb the shock cap and the approval of the same, however, poses away any from doubts about its effectiveness.



Conclusions



Helmets Briko Mustang is proving to be a very good product. He has a good technical solution with the fine carbon fiber inserts and a good constructive care, which is the cap interior. Unfortunate that there are only two colours available, not necessarily like or are you combining the currencies of all the atlethe. The fact that there is in the package has the visor for mtb use and anti insects net. As the excellent adjustment system. The ventilation is good, but could be better, as well as the junction point between the carbon and the cap. Small details that do not affect the quality of a product very good and safe. With comfortable interiors and a practical and effective system of regulation and closure. A very safe helmet.



Price



The price of the model being tested is about 139 Euro (suggested price), the technical quality of the cap, the quality of the interior, and the security of the system of closure and the complete range of equipment, justify the cost.
