South coast distributor Bike It has signed up as the exclusive UK distributor of Italian value-focused helmet brand Axor. The Axor range consists of the full-face Rage and Apex models, the adventure style X-Cross and the open-face Retro Jet, all with ECE and DOT certification.
The Rage is an entry-level lid with an ABS shell, but it still manages to pack in an integrated spoiler, removable and washable liner, and Bluetooth intercom compatibility for its £44.99 SRP. It also features a three-port ventilation system, micrometric buckle fastening and an optically correct visor. It comes in sizes S-XXL in gloss white or matt black.
The Apex is billed as a sport-touring helmet, and adds more ventilation ports, a Pinlock 30 anti-fog insert and a double-D ring fastening to its ABS shell, on top of all the Rage’s features. It also comes in matt black or gloss white in sizes S-XXL, and has an SRP of £79.99.
The X-Cross brings motocross-with-a-visor styling and a splash of colour to the range. It features an adjustable peak, wide-aperture scratch-proof visor, a drop-down tinted sun visor and a five-port ventilation system, along with Bluetooth compatibility and a removable and washable liner. Sizes are S-XXL, and it comes in matt black or blue/yellow for an SRP of £79.99.
Last, and least in terms of features, is the Retro Jet – an open-face lid with a heritage-style fibreglass shell to complement cruisers, cafe racers and classic scooters. It features a hypo-allergenic liner and genuine leather trims and interiors, along with an optically correct visor, micrometric buckle fastening. It comes only in matt black, with a choice of black or tan trim, in sizes S-XXL for an SRP of £44.99.
