🚴♂️ 1. “Best Value” Isn’t About Being Cheap — It’s About Being Smart
Price matters, sure — but for a helmet, value means how well it protects you day after day without breaking the bank.
When you judge true value, look at five things:
-
Verified safety standards (CPSC, EN 1078, GB 24429)
-
Everyday features that actually get used (magnetic visor, rear light, washable pads)
-
Comfort across different head shapes and climates
-
Long-term maintenance cost and parts availability
-
Global compliance so you can ride anywhere without worry
The P2R A20 nails all of these — and that’s what makes it the real “best-value” helmet, not just a cheap one.
🧩 2. Top-7 in Virginia Tech Ratings — Safety You Can Prove
In the latest Virginia Tech helmet impact tests, the P2R A20 earned a 5-Star rating and ranked Top 5 out of 284 models.
That’s a serious achievement for a helmet under $100.
It meets and exceeds major global standards (CPSC for U.S., EN 1078 for EU) and offers a MIPS® version for rotational impact protection.
The EPS core absorbs linear force, while the shell and fit system keep the helmet secure during real-world crashes.
In short: lab-tested safety that actually translates to the street.
