DUNLOP Bike helmet with LED and visor, L review

A size L helmet for 58–61 cm (22.8 to 24 in) heads with six rear LEDs in three modes, a removable visor and a dial adjuster, supplied with the CR1620 cell already fitted.

Our conclusion A well-equipped helmet for larger heads. Check the 58–61 cm (22.8 to 24 in) range against your own measurement, because this reference is that size only.

Dunlop’s adult helmet packs in the features usually found a price step higher, with one important constraint.

What the manufacturer publishes

Six LEDs in three modes — steady, slow flash, fast flash. Head circumference 58–61 cm (22.8 to 24 in), adjusted with a red dial. A removable visor for sun, wind, rain and dirt. Low weight with large ventilation openings, though no figure is given for either. A CR1620 cell supplied fitted.

The size constraint

This reference is the L size. At 58–61 cm (22.8 to 24 in) it covers larger heads and nothing else, which is a genuinely useful thing when many helmets stop at 59 cm (23.2 in) — and a problem if you are 56 cm (22 in). Measure before ordering; that measurement is the specification, not the letter.

Three flashing modes

Worth a moment: rules on flashing lights differ by country, and some jurisdictions restrict flashing rear lamps on the road. A helmet light is usually treated separately from a bike lamp, but if you ride where the rules are specific, check them from the authority that publishes them rather than assuming.

What is not published

Weight and vent count. On a helmet with a visor and integrated lighting, both are worth knowing — the visor and the light add mass, and vents are what make a helmet bearable on a warm climb. Where a manufacturer publishes nothing, we say so rather than estimating.

What we rate and what we flag

Strengths

  • Six LEDs with three modes, and the CR1620 cell is supplied so it works out of the box
  • A removable visor, so one helmet covers town riding and bright low sun
  • A dial adjuster rather than a sliding band, which allows finer adjustment

Compromises

  • Only the L size is covered by this reference — 58–61 cm (22.8 to 24 in) and nothing below
  • No weight or vent count published
  • Not listed on the US market

The questions riders ask

Does the visor come off?

Yes. Dunlop supplies it as removable, so the helmet works with the visor for sun, wind and rain, and without it for a plainer town look.

Which battery does the light take?

A CR1620 cell, which the manufacturer states is supplied fitted so no tools or extra purchases are needed to use the lights.

Our score

7.8/ 10

A well-equipped helmet for larger heads. Check the 58–61 cm (22.8 to 24 in) range against your own measurement, because this reference is that size only.
