Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry price of €39.90 sits mid-field at 14 of 24, and below Bern at $44.50.
- Light shell at 230 g, ranking 2 of 9 on weight in this category.
- Integrated lights are built in, so a night ride needs no separate bar light to mount and charge.
- Third-party lab results sit behind the shell: Virginia Tech 5-star, Top 10, score 8.14.
- Ships to AU, AT and BE.
Cons
- Crash replacement is not offered, so a helmet written off in a fall is a full new purchase.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with no phone line for fit and sizing questions.
- Standards are listed as cpsc only, so riders who need a different local certification should check before buying.
Who it suits
- Commuters riding home after dark who want lights in the shell rather than a separate bar light.
- Riders who put weight above everything else, since 230 g ranks near the top of the weight list.
- Buyers who want third-party lab evidence, Virginia Tech 5-star, Top 10, score 8.14, before committing €39.90.
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders on the tightest budget, since Lumos starts at $9.95 and sits well under the €39.90 entry here.
- Shoppers who would rather spend further up, since Bern's range starts at $44.50.
How it compares on our data
Two rankings tell the story. On entry price the brand sits mid-field, at 14 of 24 in this category, with lower priced listings beneath it and premium shells above. On weight the picture flips: 2 of 9 puts it close to the front on grams. That is the trade-off to weigh before you commit. You are not buying the cheapest helmet in the group, but the shell is among the lightest, which matters if the helmet shares a bag with a laptop, rides up a stairwell, or lives on a handlebar between trips. Riders buying for a shared bike with a locker at the office will notice the weight ranking more than the price ranking.
Core features
The shell is light at 230 g, which is the main argument for carrying it on a commute. Integrated lights are built in, so there is no separate bar light to mount, charge and remember before an unlit ride home. Set against that, crash replacement is not part of the offer, so a helmet that takes a real impact means a fresh purchase rather than a swap once the insurance is done. The warranty runs 12 months, and that is where the after-sales support stops. Riders who put night visibility first get the strongest part of the package here; riders who cycle in traffic daily and expect a replacement scheme should weigh that absence before buying.
The company behind it
P2R Sports is based in China and has been trading since 2018, so the company is a direct store rather than a long-established helmet maker with a dealer network behind it. Support runs on email and help centre, which means questions go out by email or into a help centre and answers arrive in writing. That shapes who is comfortable ordering. A rider who already knows their size and is buying a repeat shell can handle the process easily. A first-time buyer working out a measurement or a model difference will find written answers slower than a phone call or a shop counter, so it pays to have head measurements and model details ready before writing in.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a P2R Sports helmet cost?+
The helmet range starts at €39.90. That is the entry point for the whole collection rather than a single promotion, and it is the figure to line up against Lumos at $9.95 and Bern at $44.50. A helmet is bought once rather than renewed, so there is no later price step to budget for.
What sizes does the range cover?+
Fit runs S 52-55 cm to XL 61-64 cm, so one brand covers a wide spread of head sizes from small through to extra large. Measure around your head, then match that number against the sizing on the product page before ordering. Riders near the narrow or wide end of the scale should check carefully, since the outer shells are where a poor fit shows up on a long ride.
Has the helmet been independently tested?+
Yes, and the results are public: Virginia Tech 5-star, Top 10, score 8.14. That is third-party lab data rather than a brand claim, which matters for anyone who wants evidence behind the shell. Set it against the 230 g weight and the €39.90 entry price and the case is short. Riders buying purely on the lowest outlay will find Lumos cheaper at $9.95.
Does it come with lights?+
Integrated lights are built into the helmet, so there is no separate bar light to fit, charge or remember. On an unlit commute home that is the feature that earns its place. The shell stays light at 230 g with the lighting kit on board, and €39.90 is the entry price across the range.
What happens if the helmet takes a crash?+
Crash replacement is not offered, so a helmet written off in a fall is a new purchase at full price. The warranty runs 12 months, and that is the cover you do get rather than a post-crash swap. Riders who are on busy roads most days should weigh that against a brand that includes a replacement scheme before settling on €39.90.
How do I get help with sizing or an order?+
Support runs on email and help centre, so questions go out by email or into the help centre and come back in writing. There is no phone line listed for talking someone through a measurement. Riders buying a repeat model will not miss it. First-time buyers should have their head circumference and the model details ready before writing, since that is what the written answer will need.
How heavy is the helmet to carry?+
The shell weighs 230 g, which places the brand near the front of the weight ranking in this category. On a rack or in a bag that shares space with a laptop, grams add up across a week of commuting. Riders using a shared bike with a locker at the destination will feel the difference far less, and can weigh price higher up their list.
What cover comes with the purchase?+
The warranty runs 12 months on the helmet, and that is the full after-sales package behind the shell. What you add on top is a light 230 g frame and built-in lights for evening riding, which is where the value sits rather than in the paperwork. Read the terms before a long trip abroad, and check your local certification needs against cpsc.
