Well, bought a Rapido, not top of the range like the Mojito but really pleased. Decent price, comfortable, well made and quiet.

i'm no expert but i am currently looking at buying a new helmet and out of those i was considering the synthe about 12 months ago.
kask have gone through protone and valegro since the mojito. i dont agree that it has to be the latest and most expensive but this article appears to be the most uninformative that i have seen following road.cc over the last 18 months or so

Blimey roadcc, I couldn’t watch this through sheer boredom!

1) Could you maybe find someone other than your unpaid intern to do these reviews?

2)Would it be possible to take stills somewhere other than the office bog?

3)Does every review have to happen outside your local cafe?

Take a leaf out of GCNs book, make it interesting, a bit lighthearted and take it to somewhere people ride. Ta.

Wow indeed!  It was about time someone voiced what needed saying.  Well said Simboid.

I think road.cc have an internal competition going to see who can look the most miserable when posing for a jacket photo shoot.
