The measured head circumference decides the size, not the S/M/L label · review
The best-selling helmet in this hub, with an EPS inner shell, sixteen vented inlets with insect mesh and an integrated three-mode rear light built into the retention ring.
Our conclusion The obvious first helmet. Approved, well ventilated, lit, and cheaper than the tail light some people buy separately.
Fischer’s Urban Levin is the helmet most people in this category actually buy, and it earns that on features rather than price alone.
A high-strength EPS inner shell described as absorbing impact. An adjustable inner ring system for fit. Sixteen large air inlets with insect mesh. An integrated rear light with three lighting functions, and reflective strips woven into the straps. Size S/M stated as 54–59 cm (21.3 to 23.2 in) in the product detail.
The listing title gives 52–59 cm (20.5 to 23.2 in); the detailed specification gives 54–59 cm (21.3 to 23.2 in). Those are not the same range, and a rider at 53 cm (20.9 in) is inside one and outside the other. Measure your head with a tape a centimeter above the eyebrows and confirm the range with the seller rather than assuming the wider figure.
Three modes, built into the rear of the retention system. It is a genuine convenience — a rear light that is never left on the other bike — and it does not replace a proper rear lamp on the bike itself, which sits lower and is visible from more angles.
Helmets sold in Europe carry a marking the manufacturer declares. We report that as a manufacturer statement; this site is not a testing body and does not assess how a helmet performs in an impact. Every maker also states that a helmet involved in a crash should be replaced, which is worth knowing before buying used.
A listing is not an offer: the reference exists on these stores, availability changes daily.
