Klim Krios Pro Helmet w/ Koroyd 1 Month 2,500 Mile Review Two Words Cool & Light

[@ianredmond3936]

Just ordered one thanks for the review!

[@manybikes]

I'm on my third one... and I'm still In Love with it ;) So light and comfortable... and the transitions shield I feel like I can't live without. Enjoy

@@manybikes I've a 4 day ride coming up in a few weeks and am looking forward to giving it a go!

The transitions visor is cool for certain applications. The issue I can see for me is that in Georgia I can go from bright sunny areas to tree dappled shade. With my flip up sun visor, it's quick and easy to go back to the clear shield instantaneously and be able to see. I'm concerned that the transitions shield will take too long and I'll have impaired vision in the darker shaded off-road areas.

[@manybikes]

Yes, there are some dark wooded areas I have dropped into that have caused me to open the visor to get better vision... This is rare and the Transition shield is amazing!

[@richardbragstad2381]

Great Review! Thank you!

[@manybikes]

My pleasure!

[@dustinortegon]

Nice real world review, even with the added noise. I am considering transitioning to one from a Bell MX9 Adventure with Transition lens. I am wondering what the noise difference is between the two, if any. The Bell is pretty loud and has a bit too much buffeting at higher speeds. Hoping the Klim has better aero and a little quieter.

[@manybikes]

Glad it was helpful! The KLIM will be about the same noise level as your Bell MX9. As for buffeting I have ZERO without the peak, but with it... its pretty bad. This Krios Pro is the best helmet I have worn Weight and Heat wise... Hope this helps. - Kyle

[@richardbragstad2381]

Extremely Helpful Review!

[@manybikes]

Glad it was helpful! I have close to 40k on this helmet now and it is still doing me well. I need to "refresh it" though...

[@eugeniustheodidactus8890]

*How fast can you ride with the visor on... lets say on a BMW 1250gs that has a reasonable windscreen?*

[@manybikes]

I’ve had it up over 150 mph. Just don’t turn your head!!! I’ve been riding with the visor for the past year abs prefer it over visorless.

[@eugeniustheodidactus8890]

👍 Over 100, I am keeping my eyes glued to the road ahead! But what about *head checking @ 80 - 90 ?* Will it rip your head off?

[@manybikes]

It's not pleasant doing head checks above 70 mph...

[@eugeniustheodidactus8890]

@@manybikes 👍 Is there plenty of room for sunglasses / corrective lenses. ? I see that your wire-frame glasses work well. What about rayban frames?

[@manybikes]

@@eugeniustheodidactus8890 I have found all of my glasses fit well with this helmet.

[@mrkielbasa]

Hi Kyle. I have same helmet - the transition visor is brilliant and they are super light but they are not the quietest of helmets for sure. Can I ask where did you purchase the side mount? Can you link to the actually surface mount bracket itself please ?

[@manybikes]

Yes Martin... I will. If you have a helmet that the Wannabes mounts fit... I recommend that first! Way better option: shop.wannabes.life/products/chin-mount-for-klim-krios-helmets Now... the EXACT set-up on my helmet in this video was a combination of two different kits. This TOZ TZN-S03 Universal Rotary Extension Arm Mount Set here ... www.amazon.com/TOZ-Universal-Extension-Accessories-Thumbscrew/dp/B00PRIWJAY/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=toz+helmet+chin+mount&qid=1630517160&sr=8-3 That was combined with parts from this AxPower Motorcycle Helmet Chin Mount Kit www.amazon.com/AxPower-Motorcycle-Helmet-Mount-GoPro/dp/B01N6EVWPK?ref_=ws_cp_6ab0ebe6cf51121fdeec_p_4_t_p for perfect placement. Good luck!

[@mrkielbasa]

@@manybikes Legend! Thank you for the reply and information. The wannabes mount looks good though id like something I can remove when not touring and just leave the mounting plate. Thanks again !

[@manybikes]

@@mrkielbasa FYI I hated the side mount… so troublesome. The Wannabes mount is WAY better. Remove the camera and the mount is minimal.

[@adventureoz3448]

Great review Kyle but how much wind noise in your ears do you get...I have to wear ear plugs full time with the wind and tyre noise (Airoh Commander) tyres are Motoz Adventure

[@manybikes]

It's about average. It is quieter than my Bell but louder than my Arai.

[@SWFlowseeker]

How did you mount the GoPro? Also what speakers are you using? Trying to mount speakers in mine, not sure the best option. Just wanna listen to some tunes.

[@manybikes]

SWFlowseeker what a hassle... I made a custom chin mount... blocked too much air flow... but now I have it side mounted. Works well. Speakers, I’m using the Cardo Packtalk Bold. Speakers mounted just in front of the chin straps.

[@SWFlowseeker]

Kyle Bradshaw Ok. Ty

[@nspinicelli]

First off, 2500 miles in a month? Impressive! While exposed to full-wind (I have a T120 without a windscreen), do you experience lift or vibration/buffeting while at highway speed up to 100+mph? I also have a racebike and do trackdays, so if you get into a tucked position behind your windscreen, is there lift or vibration/buffeting while at similar speeds? Thanks in advance!

[@manybikes]

With the peak installed I did have “negative results” but with the peak removed I don’t have any high speed issues. I’ve run it on close to 15 different bikes now... and it works well on them all. 140ish mph is the fastest I’ve ridden it. Thanks for watching.

[@nspinicelli]

@@manybikes Excellent! Any problems or feedback on the buckle? I'm a D ring loyalist, this would be my first ratchet helmet.

[@manybikes]

Nspinicelli it’s not a ratchet, but rather a Fidlock - a mechanical latch pulled into place by a magnet. I LOVE LOVE it! I too prefer D-rings over ratchets, it this is a whole different level!!!

[@nspinicelli]

@@manybikes Is there any doubt in your mind at all that it will come undone in a crash? I've never used a Fidlock before, but judging from how easy it is to latch on, I'd be nervous it would fail in a serious crash.

[@manybikes]

@@nspinicelli No way! The Fidlock uses a magnet to pull the two metal clasps together and down. The buckle has to be PULLED apart by the red tab. There is no amount of jarring that can break the fidlock loose. Check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oarJaZeifrmkf5Y

[@olliechristopher467]

Right on Kyle!! Holy crap you are everywhere!! From tires to helmets. And boy do I respect you for knowingly trying out a spooky smooth tire in that sandy wash and hard core offroad!! I'm thinking of getting the Klim Krios Pro. I'm a Shoei guy but man the light weight of this helmet has me thinking to get one. I tried out the fit of the standard Krios and it was a feather compared to my Neotech!! LOL

[@manybikes]

Christopher Moritz Ha! Ha! I do get around. Not just a single genre of bike either ;) I myself don’t fit well into Shoei as I have a long oval head. This Krios Pro is an intermediate fit and will fit most heads. That being said, that is why it fits me loose even in “the best size” for my head. Oh man... the Kenda Paver Tire I rode Thursday in baby head rocks HURT! That video will be entertaining... I might flinch while watching back though. Thanks for watching! - Kyle

[@philcole7158]

Great concept.

[@manybikes]

It's pretty convertible... but how often will one actually "change it up?"

[@ehabtharwat4762]

i want to get the arai tour x4, and lost between it and this one what do you think which is better in details please

[@manybikes]

Ehab Tharwat I don’t have any experience with the Tour X4. I’ll do some research so I can speak intelligently about the two... let me see if I can round one up.

[@Kevin_Ho70]

Nice review. Use a dead cat wind filter for your mic! The wind buffeting is distracting from this review.

[@manybikes]

Kevin Ho Thanks for your suggestion. I’ve actually got a traditional wind sock on the mic and that set-up is stuffed into a dead cat. This helmet is unique with the Koroyd and the noise is not from direct wind contact, but buffeting of the wind over the shell of the helmet. I’ve tried no less than 50 covers / placements / different 🎤‘s... all had this same odd sound. Thanks for watching! - Kyle

[@Kevin_Ho70]

@@manybikes that is not good. I was looking forward to getting this helmet as my next purchase. Is it this loud with earplugs in?

[@manybikes]

Kevin Ho it’s my FAVORITE helmet! The mic just picks up the noise vibrations like a car window that’s down.... it’s not any louder inside than any other helmet.

[@Kevin_Ho70]

@@manybikes ok...great to know! TY

[@Nsssera]

I have bought one , but i need your help from where you get the go pro mount and how did you install it please?

[@manybikes]

Oh man... GoPro on this helmet was a pain in the butt. I currently have the GoPro mount stuck on the right side is the helmet between the chin vent and the side vent. It is at an angle so the go pro site directly in front of the chin vent. I have had no less than 6 mounting attempts and this is the best so far. Watch the first 5 to 10 seconds of this video to see it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXSXp4uFn6eshac

[@Nsssera]

@@manybikes Thank you for taking the time to reply on my question, and that will help,, Can you pleas share with me the link in Amazon so i can buy the Go Pro mount please?

[@Thomo_qld]

Better off with a ion pro 3 lot smaller mines on the side so it doesn't cover the vent

[@arthurb8631]

I have not riden with it yet but I was wondering if you used the sticky 3m to mount the cardo.

[@manybikes]

Arthur B No, I used the clamp

[@Thomo_qld]

Good review I've ordered my Klim helmet today vanquish red l do have touratech helmet not that happy with it

Nice!!!

Why is it fogging up?

[@manybikes]

Gerald Prost I didn’t have the pinlock lens installed.

[@richardbragstad2381]

🌈This is an ultralight Carbon Fiber helmet, not a Fiber Glass helmet.

[@manybikes]

Yes, you are correct in that fact. I got my materials confused out of the box. Thanks for the correction.

[@fredhale7806]

Well known that the shield will stop staying up in a short time.

[@manybikes]

Mine stays up still after 40k miles. But the side plates need tightening often now and I’ve lost my rubber seal. Pretty bummed on that.

[@aprilialover125]

Probably a nice review but couldn't bear the wind noise. Sorry dude

[@manybikes]

For sure! This helmet was TOUGH! Like 9 different mic placements before it got bearable...

[@Jimbo4575]

How quiet is this helmet?

[@manybikes]

Medium...

[@veiledallegory]

Kyle Bradshaw does it have cut outs for the speakers. Would I have any trouble mounting a Sena 20 S evo?

[@mattbrady746]

How does it hold up in the rain? Any leaking?

[@manybikes]

I have not yet had a chance to ride it in the rain... But the next rain... I will test this thing like I did the Hardanger Suit ... Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmKtqWeYpaqVg9U

I thought this was carbon not fiberglass??

You are correct: FULL KARBON FIBER HAND LAID SHELL OPTIMIZED SHELL RESIN DISTRUBTION FOR WEIGHT REDUCTION

I loved the review, however, listening with headphones the sound really bothered me. woof

Brian D sorry! I was trying to dial in the audio on this new helmet. The koroyd substance is tough ;)

[@briand8949]

Kyle Bradshaw No worries, I get it. I appreciate you taking the time to give the product review

[@Dave-hh8dn]

Too much noise for the review. Sounded like good content and decent speaking, but yes -- Gotta solve your wind issues!

[@manybikes]

Dave the Koroyd in that helmet was a nightmare for wind noise... finally got it sorted after no less than 50 mic locations, three mic changes, two camera changes and ... some helmet mods. Thanks for watching!

[@Dave-hh8dn]

@@manybikes Nice. Where did you end up putting it?

[@manybikes]

I had to isolate it from the shell. I ended up putting it in the front of the cheek pad near my face. The Koroyd & the shell are tough audio buggers!

[@MtbPoland]

Get pinlock

[@manybikes]

I love my pinlock on the street but in the dirt, dust gets between the sheets and scratches everything up... No Good!
