{"product_id":"mt-helmets-kre-2-fussion-c2-matt-gloss-fluo-yellow-grey-helmet","title":"MT-Helmets KRE 2 Fussion C2 Full-Face Helmet – Matt \/ Gloss Fluo Yellow Grey","description":"\u003cp\u003eFussion C2 is the loud one. Two greys, a perforated texture across the crown, and fluo yellow run through the brow vent, the side flash and the KRE² mark on the chin bar. It is the KRE 2 for riders who would rather be seen than blend in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Fussion C2 graphic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell reads as two greys — pale matt through the temple, darker gloss over the crown and rear — broken by a dot-matrix field that fades towards the back. Fluo yellow is used sparingly: the brow intake, a hard diagonal along the flank, the lettering at the chin. The MT logo sits large but tonal, so the helmet reads as a graphic rather than as branding. On a two-finish shell the matt panels absorb the daily handling; the gloss panels stay presentable with a wipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat fluo yellow actually buys you — and what it does not\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFluorescent yellow is not simply a bright colour. The pigment converts invisible ultraviolet into visible light, which is why it looks improbably bright at dusk, under cloud and in rain — the exact conditions in which a driver at a junction fails to register a motorcycle. A helmet is the right place for it: head height, above the headlight, in the part of the scene a driver scans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter dark it buys nothing. Fluorescence needs UV, and streetlights emit none — at night a fluo helmet is just a light-coloured one, no substitute for reflective material and a working headlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the graphic costs €50 over Pure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fussion C2 lists at €349.95 against €299.95 for the plain Pure A0 and A1. That difference is paint and process, not specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath, the three are one helmet: same FRC shell, same declared 1,380 g, same ECE 22.06, same MT-QVSS, MT-ESLS and MT-EVA, same ventilation, same double-D ring. Better you know that than assume the graphic version is the better-built one. Buy it to be seen, or because you like it — both are good reasons. Not for more helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMT-QVSS, and the metal where it wears\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe visor lifts off and clicks back without tools on MT-QVSS, the quick-swap mechanism MT holds a patent on. What is worth knowing about this generation is the metal insert carrying the load at the pivot instead of polymer against polymer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTool-free visor systems do not break on day one. They develop play — a rattle, then a visor that no longer seats flush — somewhere after the hundredth swap. Putting metal at that point is a decision about year three, not about the showroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMT-ESLS: a double lock with an anti-fog notch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MT-ESLS (Evo Screen Lock System) holds the visor shut with a double lock, so airflow at speed cannot lift it and a glancing knock cannot pop it. A quick-open button releases it in a single movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe half that matters daily: that release drops the visor onto a set anti-fog detent rather than swinging it fully open. Cold morning, queue of traffic, visor greying over — press once and you get airflow while still watching the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMT-EVA, the sealing trim and Pinlock® 70\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aperture is MT-EVA — MT's extended vision area, cut wider than the road helmets in the range. The width earns itself at the shoulder check and, on a sport helmet, when you are down behind the screen and looking into a corner through the top of the visor rather than the middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround it runs an advanced-material trim, specified by MT for keeping water and dust out. Sealing is also the honest lever on noise, because most of what a rider hears at speed comes in at the visor edge and under the neck roll rather than through the shell. The visor is Pinlock® 70 prepared, and MT has released no packing list for the KRE 2 — so whether a lens is in the box is not something we can tell you. Budget for one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThree intakes, channels, and a spoiler that stays small\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAir enters at the chin and through three upper intakes, runs along channels cut into the EPS, and leaves through rear outlets. The channels are the part that matters: without them a vent only stirs the air immediately behind it, and the low-pressure zone at the back of the helmet has nothing to pull through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear spoiler is compact by design — road-scaled, not the tall wing of the PLUS models. Its job is keeping the airflow attached so the helmet is not shoved about in turbulence: felt behind lorries and on exposed bridges, not on a still morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe shell, and 1,380 g of it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery MT full-face below this one is HIRP, an injection-moulded thermoplastic. The KRE 2 is FRC — fibre reinforced composite, fibre laid into resin. That layup reaches a given stiffness at lower mass and resists twisting better under side load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe consequence is the number: MT declares 1,380 g, making this the lightest full-face in our MT range and about 120 g under the Thunder 4 R SV. Declared is the operative word — the model has only just reached the market, no scale of ours has been under one, and brands differ on which size they quote and whether the visor is fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you are not getting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo drop-down sun visor. Cheaper MT helmets — Braker SV, Jarama SV, Thunder 4 R SV — have one. Here it is a tinted visor or sunglasses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo FIM homologation, no carbon. The KRE 2 PLUS moves up to a TRIC tricomposite shell; carbon and FIM belong to the KRE 2 PLUS FIM Racing #2. Separate helmets, shared name.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo test result. SHARP's three-star \"MT KRE SV\" is an earlier, different helmet; the KRE 2, the KRE+ and the KRE+ S are all untested. No ADAC or Snell figure exists.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-D ring — secure, and awkward in thick winter gloves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it sits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween MT's road range and its race range, and nearer the second. Below it the Thunder 4 R SV at €184.95: thermoplastic shell, 120 g more, but a sun visor. Above it the KRE 2 PLUS at about €499 (TRIC tricomposite, MT-ULCS, 1,300 g) and the carbon KRE 2 PLUS FIM Racing #2 at about €699, which adds the FIM #2 homologation an organiser will ask for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMT's own use split for this helmet is 90 % racing, 80 % sport touring. Take the first number as the design brief and the second as the limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLiving with fluo, and what wears out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFluorescent pigment is the least stable paint on a helmet: it is degraded by the same ultraviolet it feeds on, so a fluo panel left in the sun fades noticeably faster than the greys beside it. Stored out of direct sunlight it stays bright for years; left on a mirror all summer it will not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisor, cheek pads and lining are replaceable. The KRE 2 launched in 2026, so the parts programme is still coming online — visor tints and pad thicknesses will arrive over the season. The EPS liner cannot be replaced at all: it crushes once and ends the helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMT KRE 2 helmet — Fussion C2, fluo yellow and grey, matt and gloss, FRC composite shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear visor, fitted on MT-QVSS, Pinlock® 70 prepared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMT publishes no packing list for the KRE 2.
