As enticing models of the FTR Helmets will soon be available in the Philippines, are these helmets best for the road or for the race?
We have seen helmet brands come and go in the Philippine market. But few of them stand on the ground that last. This might be due to market response that the majority of riders on the street wear it. Other factors might be influencers use them and certain followers idolize them. Another factor might be due to its style and looks that transcends fashion. As for its safety issues, what validates most is their certification approval from safety institutions and organizations.
This is where most long-time riders look for. And to further validate this, when a helmet is worn by professional sports riders, there’s already a guarantee that the helmet has a higher performance record for safety. But mostly these helmets usually come at a higher price range. This is where our questions regarding the new FTR helmets come in. Is FTR Helmet Made For The Road Or For The Race? Let us find out.
Product Ride Launch
FTR Helmet is new in the market but it has been available in the online selling world for quite some time now. But the actual product launch happened at their Malabon distribution center. We were introduced to several full-faced models and had an actual test of the FTR FF861.
It’s an actual product test launch ride. With product briefing to start off to further introduce the helmet. And a short city ride to further justify safety, comfort, and convenience of owning one.
Here’s what we got so far after wearing and using the FTR FF861 during the product launch ride.
At A Glance
Looking closely, the FTR FF861 is an eye appealing helmet. The color hue is just right for night riding to keep the light bounce that aids visibility. During the ride, the dark shaded visor manages to deflect light. That makes it appropriate for day riding. It also has a reserve visor in cases of night ride for clearer sight. And it is intercom and eye-glass ready.
Comfort
One factor that dictates comfort is its interior padding and airflow system. Its interior liner regards details relevant to comfort. Its component has three convenient features – removable, washable, and ergonomic (Three-dimensional design that molds perfectly to the contour of the head). As with the airflow system, it was discussed during the briefing that the helmet is designed to have 32% air intake and 12% air exhaust to manage airflow. We can’t validate the percentage of air coming in and going out but it sure fits comfortably.
Even under the sun during stop, the vent keeps it cool inside while further keeps at a comforting temperature as you move from stop. Noise coming in is significantly reduced especially when moving, vibration is not concerning. With this, if you plan to use an intercom it is highly utilized.
Safety
As for its safety features, the shell is a predetermined plastic Kevlar fiber that resists impact with predetermined safety standards approved by DOT, ICC, and ECE 2.5. The visor is Pinlock ready. No worries dedicating a helmet for different seasons.
Another is the inner liner is built with double face fabric that adds protection with polyamide and polyester material that allows fast dissipation of moisture. The pads also have a quick-release feature for safe removal when accidents happen. And also a D-lock fastener that is often found on quality race helmets.
Available FTR Helmet models right now are priced ranging from 3,950 for the plain to 4,150 for the graphic designed helmets. And enticing models will soon be available. Based on these features, are FTR Helmets best for the road or for the race?
