Certimoov praised the helmet's compactness, singling out the six shell sizes, along with the field of vision, the equipment level, the road performance and the price. 🔵 It criticised two things: getting the helmet on, and the sun visor mechanism. Both are covered honestly further down this page rather than left out. On the graphic itself: black and white is the highest-contrast pairing available without introducing a colour, and hard boundaries between light and dark are what peripheral vision locks onto — a smooth gradient gives the eye nothing to fix on, while a sharp edge reads as structure. The white areas also lift the overall value meaningfully above the plain black version, which matters at a junction in poor light. Between the three Splitter finishes the choice is straightforward. This is the highest-contrast and the one Certimoov actually tested; the titanium and red version is the most balanced for everyday use; the titanium and hi-vis is the one with the strongest safety argument. All three cost 237 € and share the same shell and equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo visors in the box, a third inside the shell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🟢 \u003cstrong\u003ePinlock 120 MaxVision\u003c\/strong\u003e is the top anti-fog grade Pinlock makes, with the widest treated area.
