MOTORRAD conclusion on the hero Masuda
The hero Masuda looks a bit out of date, this is what middle-class helmets looked like ten years ago. Nowadays, comparable products tend to be in a price class below, i.e. around 100 euros. The fit and aerodynamic weaknesses no longer have to be accepted.
MOTORRAD verdict: satisfactory
