Fancy a budget open-faced helmet with some funky graphics? The Duchinni D501 Garage helmets could be right up your street. Apparently, the D501 has been a big seller, and deserved a bit of an update for 2017.
Tell me your inner Evel Kneivel isn’t awoken by the Blue and Red metallic star design. Even if you’re buying it to ride your scooter to work up the A2 every morning.
The retro paint is supposed to have the flavour of the swinging Sixties. But it looks more Seventies to us (To be fair, I was still in nappies at the end of that decade). If you happen to have a Fantic Chopper, then it’s definitely the one to go for.
If you fancy a slightly more subtle approach, then the Duchinni D501 Garage range does include two modern matt paint designs for urban riders. So you should get less glances at the lights if you’re shy and retiring. Although the Black/Orange still stands out, the Black/Green has a more camo feel.
And while the designs may have the retro feel of metal flake custom, you do get modern specifications. And for the price, they’re pretty good. In addition to the ABS shell, you get traditional-looking stitched trim and a goggle-strap at the back.
The textile lining is removable and washable, and there’s the practical internal sun visor which can be raised and lowered with the left hand. The chin strap is the usual seat-belt style quick-release job, and the Duchinni D501 Garage range are all ECE2205 approved for legal use in the UK and most of Europe.
If you fancy looking a bit flash on a budget, the Duchinni D501 Garage is available in sizes XS-XL and costs just £59.99 for the Black/Green and Black/Orange versions. The Blue/Red metallic D501 is £69.99. All you need now is a candy-apple red metallic custom Monkey Bike, and you’re all set.
