ROOF RO15 Bamboo Open-Face Motorcycle Helmet Matt Black
The ROOF RO15 Bamboo Matt Black is a lightweight open-face motorcycle helmet for urban riding, commuting and scooter use. It combines an ECE 22.06 J-approved jet-helmet design with a shell made entirely from natural bamboo and flax fibres, a full-length 50% solar visor and a naturally based comfort lining.
The Matt Black finish gives the helmet a clean, understated look while retaining the bamboo-and-flax natural-fibre shell construction that defines the RO15 Bamboo range.

Fit guidance from Moto Central
A new helmet should feel evenly firm around the whole head without painful pressure points. Fasten the strap, move the helmet gently from side to side and check that your skin moves with the lining rather than the helmet rotating freely. If you are unsure, visit Moto Central in Wolvey for help comparing sizes and checking the fit before riding.
Compatible accessories
ROOF offers replacement clear and 50% solar visors, side-plate and screw kits, cheek pads and complete inner linings separately. ROOF lists the 100% solar and iridium silver visors for competition or track use rather than road use. Accessories and intercom equipment are not included unless specifically stated.

A 50% solar visor with anti-scratch and anti-fog treatments is included.
Can the lining be washed?
