Reevu MSX1 Helmet With Rear View System

Reevu have a new MSX1 helmet which uses a mechanical mechanism rather than electronics and cameras to allow the wearer to see behind them. Similar to using a rear view mirror on a car, it uses a small mirror within the helmet just out of the riders line of sight.

The Reevu MSX1 is the world’s first patented rear-view helmet range that gives the wearer that all round vision. Reevu say the added functionality no way effects the safety performance of the helmet.

The helemt system incorporates a polycarbonate tunnel coated in a mirror-like surface above the EPS foam liner. The tunnel reflects a rear view image onto a rectangular section just above the brow area.

The Reevu MSX1 is ECE approved and priced at £249 around $380.

Hi Feedback from the users of the helmet is fantastic. If you haven’t got one, here is a tip. You don’t look into the mirror system you can see what is behind without doing that, Its like waving your hand at the side of your face and looking straight forward.
