Modular helmets are a godsend to anyone who commutes on their motorcycle on a daily basis. This is especially true if your route entails a combination of highway and city riding, where dense traffic can cause you to feel the heat in the most uncomfortable sense. Modular lids allow you to basically have two helmets in one—a full-face and open face, by simply either flipping the chin bar up, or removing it all together.
Roof, a French helmet manufacturer known for its modular lids, has recently launched a new helmet featuring a unique latching system for the chin bar. It’s called the Roadster, and it offers the comfort and versatility of a jet helmet, along with some the protection of a full-face helmet. Granted, the chin bar on the Roadster is far too thin and lightweight to offer the same level of protection as a full-face helmet. Nonetheless, it offers the rider with more options as to how they’d like their helmet to be configured.
