Red is also a high-saturation colour that holds up well against grey tarmac, which puts it among the more conspicuous options here without going fluorescent. 🔵 Red pigment fades faster than most under sustained ultraviolet, and matt clear coat is washed rather than polished — there is nothing to buff a mark out of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe SHARP stars that belong to a different Thunder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Worth stating plainly on a helmet at this price, where riders reasonably look for reassurance: the Thunder 4 R SV has \u003cstrong\u003eno SHARP rating\u003c\/strong\u003e.
